Be True To Your School


  The design I used represents our school by our school colors and it's abbreviation.  BHS stands for Blackville High School.  The easiest part was choosing the bus and the design, the hardest part was painting the colors on the bus.  Digital art and Design are pretty interesting, however It wouldn't be my ideal job because i'm not really that good at it.  I think it would be fun to have a job in auto detailing, however it could be quite frustrating.

Before the War

Out of the two choices to pick from I chose this one because it seemed the easiest and less time consuming to do.  The easiest part was choosing the photo and filling in the cracks, however the more difficult part was matching sides up and sort of evening the pic out to look natural.  There was one time I have retouched a photo before of myself, I done this because I wanted to try out my new photo editor app.  I think it would be a pretty interesting and easy job to restore and retouch old photos, however I don't think it would be my ideal job choice because I wouldn't want to deal with fussy people.

Freak of nature



The animals I selected were a deer and a cat.  I selected these animals because they were similar in color so it wouldn't look too unnatural.  The most challenging part was matching them up to make it look real and the easiest part was choosing which animals to use. I think my creation looks pretty realistic, not too bad for my first try.  The colors match fairly well, there is a difference but doesn't look too different. I have never used an editing software before, this was my first time ever using one.

Automobile Design


  • To design a car it usually takes about 3 years, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. The phase they usually start off with is the sketching phase.  The sketching phase is just them drawing a bunch of different pictures of the car. 
  •  Design is called problem solving because the people have fine arts degrees, but what they are doing isn't fine arts. They have criteria that they need to meet and draw their design based on it. It is essentially solving a problem. 
  •  The feasibility stage is when the workers need to put the sketches on a "package" and match them up with something that maintains the theme. This is the biggest stage.
  •  I think that designing an automobile would interest me more than the other jobs in the automotive industry, such as automotive technicians, but I don't really think it would be my first job choice considering I don't really care how my car is made as long as it runs and it works good.  Designing an automobile might be fun but like I said it doesn't interest me that much to be considered a "dream job" or anything.  

Automobile Body Styles

Coupe:

 


   Coupes are often the sporty variants of saloon cars, with 2 doors. The coupe body style varies from car maker to car maker, and now there are even four-door coupes like the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. The name ‘coupe' comes from the French verb ‘couper', which means ‘to cut'. An example of a two-door coupe is the Audi A5.  The Audi A5 is a compact executive car produced by the German automobile manufacturer Audi since 2007.

Convertible:






    A convertible, or cabriolet, is a body style with a fold-able or retractable roof.  These cars often have canvas or vinyl roofs, though nowadays these are also made of plastic, aluminium or steel. Convertibles are usually two-door cars. An example of such a car is the BMW Z4. the BMW Z4 is a rear-wheel drive sports car by the German car maker BMW.  First generation production started in 2002 at BMW USA's Greer, South Carolina plant, with production of both roadster and coupe forms.

SUV:

 


   An SUV, or Sports Utility Vehicle, is similar to an estate, but usually bigger and higher off the ground. SUVs are often four-wheel-drive and are designed for both on- and off-road use. Some have the towing capacity of a pickup, and offer the passenger carrying capacity of a minivan or large sedan. An example of an SUV is the Ford Endeavour.

Crossover:



 

   A crossover is a vehicle built on a car platform but often with features of an SUV like increased ground clearance and a higher seating position. Crossovers are typically designed only for light off-roading. An example of a crossover is the Fiat Avventura.

Pickup:





   A pickup is a light motor vehicle with an open rear cargo area known as a ‘bed'. These are extremely popular in the US, and feature factory-built integrated beds. The term also applies to coupe utility vehicles, where they are based on a car chassis or a dedicated platform. Pickups are sometimes called ‘Utes'.  They are often available with two or four doors for the passenger compartment.  An example of a pickup is the Tata Xenon, which features a double-cab design.
