Hello and welcome to Max Evans' profile website! This is my 5th project during my time at Freestyle Academy, as well as my first senior project. The name of this project was "Profile", which was one that required us to go out and find a special individual who we could use as our star profile. This person should be someone who is interesting, does something interesting, and/or has an untold story that deserves to be told. The end goal of the project was to have shown off the individuality and interest of our chosen person. We wanted to show our audience who this person is, what he does, what he believes in, what he likes, what he dislikes, and everything else that defines what makes a person.
For my profile star, I chose Mike Sanders, who is the Santa Clara County Emergency Services Coordinator. Mike also teaches a class called CERT, which stands for the Community Emergency Response Team, and aims to teach community members the importances and how to be prepared in case of future disasters such as earthquakes. Mike is able to make sure that when these situations strike, which is a matter of 'when' rather than 'if', the citizens in his community are prepared.
In each of my Freestyle classes, we were given other supplementary assignments to be done along with writing a paper of the profile. In my English class, we were tasked with interviewing three people, including the star profile, and writing a paper about the person that showed off their personality. In my design class, we learned how to use Adobe InDesign to create a magazine, which we put our English papers into. We also learned how to shoot photos in Raw to better edit them in programs like Adobe Photoshop. Finally, in Web/Audio, we learned how to use javascript in our websites, as well as Adobe AfterEffects to create animations, like the commercial I made shown below. I'll be honest, as it's not the best thing I've ever created at Freestyle. However, it's a learning process, so thanks to the commercial, the next animations I make will be even better. Why not check out the commerical for yourself?
