My Website
I think my website will most likely be on art, more specifically jewelry. I chose this because I like to design my own pieces, with beads, metal, wire etc. This way I could also show others what I can do. My logo idea so far is to use Chinese symbols emphasize certain characteristics of the jewelry. For example, I could use this one…
It means 'Beauty'...

Tuesday Morning Blog
In the three weeks we have been here, I think my progress in this course is fairly consistent. As a class we have explored new programs and searched the internet for things we wouldn’t normally search for. My favorite project we have completed so far would be taking pictures. I particularly enjoyed the ones of the birds. I also enjoyed the search for logos and checking up on other people’s blogs. One thing I need to improve on would be more of a summary of why I posted something, may it be a picture, logo, or video clip.

8 Awesome Logos
I love this one because it's cute and not overly cluttered. It uses simple lines, to make a simple design, that makes a lot of impact. I love how it's just black and white. It’s also kind of neat how there is a line of symmetry in the middle of the hedgehog.
I found this one funny. It uses both curvy and straight lines, and is also in black and white, but aslo has a contrast of a blue outline. I liked how it was as though the big shadow was what the little guy could become. It had sort of a message.

This was neat because the colors all merge together, creating an awesome affect. There aren't as many straight lines here (except for the words), most are curvy, and none of the bowls are placed the same.

I love how these contrasting and complementary colors merge together to give you an apple affect. I like how there is no real outline, just where the color ends... yet even though the apple is full of color, the wording at the bottom is in black and grey, which is a neat contrast.

I love this logo because the colors are bright and noticeable, but do not take over. It has a simple kind of detail, none too elabourate, yet still has an awesome over look. I like how there is texture and depth created by shadows and darker areas that almost look like of a reflection because it dosen't add to the detail of the fish.

I liked this because, even though it has way to much color, it still shows unique quality. I also like how it had no words. There are mainly primary colors, giving it an almost childish affect. But the small amount of secondary colors make it more mature. I liked how the colors were seperated by white lines, instead of black, because you would expect black, yet it gives you white.

I thought this was cute, and I liked how the letters wern't overly elabourate. I liked how the letters were colorfully yellow, curvy, and thick. I also like how the g's eyes are not black, but gray, because black would have taken away from the overall affect.

I love this logo, the baby Triceratops is adorable! I'm not a huge fan of blue and pink together normally, but this almost swayed my opinion. Almost. I also like how the blue dino sits in an uncentered circle, and how the letters have texture and reflections.
My Three Favourites
When I vitited other people's blog there were plenty of awesome pictures. I chose these because they were different and full of new ideas.
The Sun. (Online Image) Available http://www.cameronlawrencesblog.blogspot.com/ . September 23, 2010.
I liked this picture because it had a unique mystical quality. It looks neat.
Silohuette. (Online Image) Available http://dolmanben.blogspot.com/ . September 23, 2010.
I liked how the outline has a perfectly black contrast against the sky. I found that hard to do... It was also really neat how you'd never guess this picture was taken during the day!
Running Water. (Online Image) Available http://omgwill.blogspot.com/ . September 23, 2010.
I liked this because i didnt think of using the water fountain. Maybe a sink, but not this...

My Nameplate
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
My logo was made on Macromedia Fireworks 8. It started as one box, 400 x 200 Pixels, but soon became four. The first box is a deep violet, the second a bright blue, and the third a bright green. The fourth box was styled in a ripple format, and then I edited the spectrum color choice to be different colors of green, blue, and purple. Next I added my name in Hobo Std in white, size 82 font. I like the final product because it’s bright and unique, and I probably couldn't copy it again if I tried.
Ten Favourite Pictures
1) Landscape: This was taken up in Alaska back in May. I like it because it has sort of a fairytale beauty.
Ashton. September 21,2010.
2) Portrait: This was taken at a cottage we stayed at two summers ago. I love it because it's a good picture of all four of us.
Ashton. September 21, 2010
3)Close up: I liked this because it was eye catching and elabourately yellow.
Ashton. September 21, 2010
4) Emphasized Color: I liked this picture because it was pretty and different.
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
5) Lost in Nature: I liked this picture because it is unusual, and the contrast from the straw to the grass was pretty.
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
6) Not Planted: This picture was origional and new. It was different, that's why it was took.
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
7) Reflection: This was took in Alaska too, the full picture was goregeous, but the reflection is what was key.
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
8) Sillohette: I love these birds, they are so silant and symbolic.
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
9) Texture: The tire is something you look at every day, but isn't something you notice. I like this one because it forces you to notice what's obvious.
Ashton. September 21, 2010.
10) Exagerated Angle: The fire hydrant is everywhere, but it too goes without notice, and isn't seen this way very often.

My Favourite Movies
This will be hard because even if I see a movie, I either like it, or I don’t. I don’t have favorites, just movies that I hate, so these won’t be favorites, just movies I like…
Comedy: I dont know if this is comedy... but i loved Kung Fu Panda, it was cute and origional.
Horror: I don’t watch Horror movies.
Action: apparently UP is considered action, I don’t know how, but I loved the movie, it was so cute!
Mystery: Nancy Drew was the last movie i saw, it was okay... and before that was Scooby Doo, but does that even count?
Thriller: Harry Potter; because i liked the books, and even though the movies side tracked a bit, they were good.

The Tallest Man - Sultan Kosen
2011, Tallest Man. (Online Video Clip) Available http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6bsunrzldw . September 13, 2010.
This poor man, who should have to live their life doing interviews like this? :(
Monday, September 13, 2010
I chose this because so many people, my brother included, read through these yearly books. Even if their out of date, there are so much in them.
September 11 and 12
This past weekend we had a soccer game and 9 of our players showed up. The result was a tie, 0/0, which is impressive since the last two times we played that mission team, we lost. Then on Sunday my family and I went to the Art Walk, and as usual, there were lots of people there, and plenty of stuff to see.
My First Week Back.
The first week of school was a bit of a shock, from doing nothing to everything in just three days. After a whole summer of relaxation, both soccer and volleyball started; soccer on Wednesday and volleyball on Friday. To kick off the soccer season, we had a scrimmage against the other U16 Girls team, sad to say, we lost. The murals in the gym were also new and kind of exciting. There are four new pictures on the gym wall, three of which say Fierce, Brave, and United with coyotes. The fourth says George Elliot, with three more coyotes, on the wall across from the bleachers.
