Quarter 3 Assignment – Identity Project

In Quarter 3 I was in English 9. In this class I had to read the book “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” by Sherman Alexie. When I finished the novel I had to create a final project on the identity of one of the characters. There were not very many guidelines for this project and we were told to be creative as we wanted to.

I created a book to show my character’s personality on the “outside” and on the “inside,” as a take on the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”  I’m proud of this assignment because I spent a lot of time planning, drawing, and colouring it, and I was really happy with the final product. I’m also proud of the concept I came up with to display the character’s identity.

Here are some pictures of my project:

Quarter 2 Assignment – T-Shirt Design

In Quarter 2 I was in Drafting 9. One of my favourite assignments I got to do was create a logo to be printed onto a T-shirt.

To create my design for this project I had to learn how to use AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a very complex program and it was a challenge for me to use it. The project took me many hours but I ended up with a design I’m really proud of and put a lot of hard work into.

Once I completed my logo it was printed onto a T-shirt with a T-shirt press.

Here is a picture of my T-shirt.

In Information and Communications Technologies we had to design a Christmas ornament!

I’m really proud of this because I had to learn how to use the program Adobe Illustrator. It was a little bit challenging in the beginning but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun! I created a snowman design which was then cut out buy a laser cutter. The laser cutter points a laser at a sheet of plywood which cuts the wood into the design you created. I am very excited to hang it on my Christmas tree.

Here is the snowman ornament I created.
