My Personality Type

ESFJ


Meyer-Briggs
I took the Meyer-Briggs personality type test and my results were ESFJ.  ESFJ stands for Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging.  I had a 72% preference for extrovert which means I am outgoing and sociable person. I was also 25% Sensing which means I have to see things before I believe it. I had a 45% preference  for feeling over thinking. Feeling means I use my emotions when I make decisions. I was also 6% Judging which means I use evidence to help make decisions. A famous person that share my personality type is Hugh Jackman who has a role in the X-Men movies, Woody Harrelson also has the same personality. Woody Harrelson has a role in the Hunger Game Movies.


How Accurate
My test was actually really accurate. The part about the extrovert was right on because I usually fill my entire weekend so I can be around people. The only time I spend alone is usually when I watch Netflix upstairs on my laptop. There are not really any parts about the ESFJ personality that are not right, all of them match who I am. The test has showed me why I gravitate towards more out-going and happy people. Most of the friends I have are probably Extroverts as well.


Team Roles
When I have to work in teams I usually get the role of the project creator. I usually get to do all the display work while the other people do the research. When my role matches with my type I get the job done well and nicely and I am satisfied with my work. When my role doesn't match up with my personality it usually takes me longer to complete my part and I usually procrastinate. Some people don't understand why I act different around my different friends because some of my friends are extroverts while others are introverts.

What I learned
What I learned from taking the test and writing/researching my type is why I tend to act certain ways. I learned why I act different around different people. I usually act different with my introvert friends then I do with my extrovert friends. I also learned I am a otter. An otter is around people all the time and is rarely alone.

Bouncing Ball



What I learned
I learned that it is possible to make animations on photoshop. I tool I used and learned how to use was the timeline tool. I also learned that the frames you made can be used as an animation.






Principles of Animation
The animation I made is and example of the Squash and Stretch and Ease In and Ease Out which are principles of animation. Squash and Stretch are when the ball hits the ground and is not a perfect sphere any more. The Ease In and Ease Out part of the animation is when the ball is in the air and it doesn't form a perfect sphere.









                         
Other Examples of Squash and Stretch








The picture represents squash and stretch and ease in and ease out because the way the ball is formed throughout the bounces. As the ball is going towards the ground it speeds up so the shape of the ball changes. When the ball hits the ground the ball compresses and then springs back up into it's normal shape when it leaves the ground.

"They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets" Article


Summary
In the article it talked about how colleges look at applicants socials media sites to check for negativity. When they follow the person and look at their account and they find bad things then that decreases their chance of acceptance. They do not tell the person that they are looking at their accounts and they person doesn't know because they sometimes make fake accounts.


What Things Surprised Me
Some things that surprised me in the article was that colleges look at your social media sites, I didn't know that they checked those when you apply. Another thing that surprised me was that 30% of the admission officers said that they found things that hurt the applicants. I also found out that the admission officers were young and know how to use technology. I thought that they were older and didn't know how to use technology.


What Things Confused Me
Some things that confused me in the article was some words that i didn't know like "meticulously" and "scuttled". Another thing that confused me was how do they know that they found the right person's account. If they found a person with the same name how do they know it's the right person.


Impact
After I read the article and looked back at my social media sites I decided I would watch what I say. Since they can look back at your accounts and check them, I will be careful of what I say and how I say it.

My Personal Logo

Shape Choices:
For my logo I did a bird with an arrow underneath. The reason I chose the bird is because it symbolizes closeness to God, and I put the arrow because I shoot archery and it symbolizes shooting for your goals. 
Color Choices:
For the color choice I chose the color purple because it symbolizes creativeness. I left the inside white because white symbolizes faith. Since the bird represents closeness to God I wanted a color to also represent my faith. 
Words:
The last component of my logo is my name underneath the arrow. I put it under the arrow because the font and words looked the best there instead of some where else.

My Photoshop Projects



The first project I did was figuring out how to make different layers. The first layer I used was  a picture of Olathe Northwest,  the next layer is a compass of Northwest, the last layer I used was text that I put over both pictures.




The second project was the butterfly project. I had to adjust the hues and then it modified the colors to make them bright. Then to get the effect on the wings I used the clone stamp to ad onto the wings to make it appear as if it is fluttering.






The third project was the Northwest gradient project. I started with a picture of Olathe Northwest and then I put a text mask over the picture to make the words. The last step was to make the gradient then the gradient went behind the words and in front of the picture.


The last project was the hardest because it had so many steps. The first thing I did was get rid of the cars and lamp posts in the picture of the building. Then I used the magnetic lasso to cut out the picture of the raven, then I got the pictures of the inside of the building and cropped them a little bit. I changed the transparency on the pictures so The background could be seen through.





Photoshop and illustrator are different because in photoshop the deselection key is Command-D but in illustrator the keyboard shortcut is Command-Shift-A. In photoshop the way to make your brush sizes bigger is to hit the brackets but you can not do that in illustrator.
