Assignment K... To create my design of the library, I had to think of things that would help and limit me in creating the library. One of the things were that we had a budget, so we can't create a design that will cost a lot. Also we needed to apply some the things Mrs. Gamble would like in the library. Mrs. Gamble gave s some of her ideas that she would like to see happend to the library. I took her ideas and used them to make a new design. Mrs. Gamble would have liked to see some sort of expresso machine or a coco stand. So in my plan I put both a expresso machine, coffee maker, refridgerater and a water machine in the library. A obstacle that I came to creating the library was that I couldn't find a way for all of the rectangular tables to fit without having the library to be cramped. I moved things around until I found a solution that would fit the library's needs. I showed creativity by placeing the drink supplies and making a section to the library where kids can go and read without it being loud. The two bookcases infront of the couches create a sound barrier to keep out some of the sound that others make in the library. My plan isn't exspensive at all. All I did to the library was move furniture around and add the drink appliances. I also added lights in the back of the library where the couches are so people who are reading can see without the bookcases blocking the light. This plan is better then the original plan because it allows people to come in a have a place to work in a group and it'a a place where people to come to pick out a book and sit down and read it.

Assignment I... This week I have been working on the plan of the libary. Last week I made a plan of what the library looks like now. This week I made a plan of what I think the library should look like after it is reorganized. A skilll that I have been working on is placing furniture in a place in the library that will give people a place to go if they want to work in a group. Also this new design can give people a place to go if they want to sit by themselves on a couch a read. These skills could be applied in the real world if I wanted to find a way to organize my own house in a way where anyone could go. A probelm that I ran into this week was trying to get all of my tables where I wanted them without them being to crowded together. I fixed this problem by separating the tables in threes. I put three tables in one part of the room and three tables in another part of the room. I was successful this week when I moved the bookcases to be a wall that make a little sound barrier wall that will allow people to sit in their own area. Making the wall was a way that I was creative the week too. This library picture is my creation but there is still more that I need to fix before it is done.





 Assignment G... This week I learned how to create my own logo and how to make a "vacation cottage." Last week I was working on creating a new strategy to make a house. A skill that I have learned is how to make a logo. This will help me in the future of this course when I am working on another project, I will already have a logo ready to go instead of making the same one everytime I want to put a logo on a finished product. This skill could be applied in the real world when I need to make a logo for a job I will already know how to do it on this program. A problem I had was when I went to save my logo I didn't save it in my library. I fixed this by going back and recreating the logo and saving in on "CAD Blocks" in my library. Another problem I had was that when I took a picture of my vacation cottage when it was done, it wasn't showing the advanced deck framing that is underneath the deck. This was because of the angle that the picture was took at. I fixed this by taking the picture from a lower angle to show the advanced deck framing. I was succsesful because I finished the whole arcitect book!!!! This will help me If I want to continue in this course I will know everything from this course. I got to be creative this week when I got to pick out my color of my logo.

 Assignment F... This week I have been working on creating layouts and learning new stratagies to create a new to make and set up a house. Last week I was only working on creating pictures of my house from different angles. A skill that I have learned is how to make a house a faster way. This will help me in the future of this course for when I am making a new house I can do it the faster way. This will give me more time to work on other things on my house and spend less time creating the structure of it. These skills could help me in the real world when I want to build my own house I know more then one way to do it. This week I had a problem when I was trying to get the rooms the exact demensions. When I would try to expand the room it would only let me go by whole feet and not inches. I solved this by clicking on the dementions and then typing in the measurement that I wanted. I was successful when I learned the new way to make a house by just giving the demensions for the room and placing the rooms where you want them. This can help me in the future when I have to make my own house on the program. I got to be creative this week when I had to make a room the same size as the previous one I made so I just copied and pasted the room.

Assignment E (paper) This week I have been working on sending a picture of my house to my layout. Last week I was sending different angles to my layout. A skill I learned was how to make things in my house invisible. I can use this skill later in the program when I am working on something in my house and I cant see what I am doing because something like a piece of furniture is in the way I can make it invisible for the moment. This could be applied in the real world, well I can't make something v, it teaches me that I can move something if it is in the way instead of just working around it. A problem that I had this week was figuring out a scale to make my plan fit on my layout. The scale I had was big which ment that my layout was coming on the page to small. To fix the problem I made the scale number smaller which made the picture on the layout bigger. I was successful when I figure out the right scale, this will help me later that now I know the smaller the scale number the bigger something will be. This week I got to be creative just from being able to send my picture to my layout of my house.

Assignment D (paper) This week I've been working on creating picture of different angles of my house. Last week I was adding objects to my house. A skill I have learned is creating a picture from any angle of my house. This can help me later in the program because when I need to send an image to a layout I will know how. These skills can help me in the real world if my job was a phototographer I would know how to take a picture from differnent angles. This week i was having a problem with my layout. When I turned the page on my layout it would say page 0 even when I turned to page 1,2 and 3. I fixed this by double clicking on the text button and hitting insert. Then It gave me a code that ment when the page turned it would give the number of the page. I was successful sending the pictures of my house to my layout. I had no probelms and now I will know how to do it when I create my own house. I was creative the week when I spaces out all six picture on my layout evenly. It was hard but when you send a picture to your layout you have to get a certin number of inches that will fit on the layout. 



Assignment C ... This week I have been working on making in finishing touches on my house. I placed outside objects like a mountain goat and a pool. Last week I was working on and finishing the dementions of my front and back porch. A skill I learned was how to place a walkway and a road. This will help me later in this program when I am creating my own house and I want to place the road and where I want my walkway to be I will already know how to do it. These skills will help me in the real world when I want to know which direction I want the walkways to face and how to get them to meet my driveway. This could also help my in the future when I want to build my own house and there are laws of where your driveway can be i'll know where and how to put in my driveway. This week I couldn't figure out how to take a picture of my final view. I was just using render view and not the final view button to take the picture. All I had to do to make it a final view was hit the house button after the render button. I got to be creative this week when I got to pick out the objects that I wanted to place in my backyard. I picked a pool because in my yard there is no course of water like a pond or lake. I also placed a goat because there is a big yard, enough room for a goat.



Assignment B... This week I worked on my roof and my porches. Last week I worked on decorating my house and placing items inside my house. This week I learned how to rotate and resize an object. This will help me in my future in this program for when I place an object inside or outside my house and it is in the wrong posision and I need to change it I will know how to do so. I could aply these skills in the real world for when I'm ordering something I know how to get in into a certin posision or size when I order it. A problem that I had came apon this week was that my stairs to the back porch were backwards. I relised that when I pleaced then stairs in place I didn't hold the SHIFT key down while adding stairs so they came backwards. So to fix it I just help the SHIFT key down then dragged the stairs in place. I was successful while I was placing in my soffits on my back porch. I thought that it would be good to have them on my front porch too so I placed them there also. I was creative this week when I placed in the porch. I was having a hard time getting the angle of the porch to connects to I made the angle first then added the straight side of the porch last to connect to the house.

= = ===Assignment A...Right here I was working on placing cabinets and putting in a soffit. Last week I wasn't where I am now. Last week I was placing walls in my house to make rooms. I learned how to center objects, and also change the height, width and length of an object. This will help me later in this program because when I am placing an object in my house I will already know how to adjust it so I won't have to go through the book to find the steps to change the object. All of these skills that I am learning can help me in my future by building my own house and placing in cabinets and other hosue needs like a stove, lazy suzan, and stairs. This week I got to be creative when I was able to place in my cabinets in my house. I followed directions to put them in but I found shortcuts on the computer while putting them in place. I thought this was creative because I used my skills to place cabinets in my house using my own directions. ===
