My Personality Type

My Myers-Briggs personality type is ESFJ, which means I am charismatic, dependable, and I work well with others. I think that this describes me
pretty accurately and many of these descriptions sound like who I try to be and what I try to do. Some famous people who are also ESFJ's consist of Pope Francis, Harry Truman, Colin Powell, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Hugh Jackman, Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez and many others.


One part of my personality type that I very much agree with says that I make family and friends my top priority, and that I like a sense of harmony and cooperation around me. I hate it when people fight and argue around me and will
 usually try to calm things down. However, I do argue a lot myself and hate losing conflicts so maybe I am an ESFJ for others, but a hypocrite myself. 
The extrovert part of my personality explains why I'm loud and why I get along well with others. I play team sports where I can be part of a group working towards a goal, and I enjoy surrounding myself with friends that I get along with. 
My entire type can explain why I lead in a group setting the way I do. I try to make sure that everyone else is getting along and working well, and in doing this I can establish myself as one of the leaders of the group. However, this can become a problem, and make me out as bossy, something that I really don't want to be. I can't remember a specific time that this has happened but I know that it has in the past.
Doing this project made me think about who I am around others, and I am quite happy with my result. I also learned what celebrities and other famous people are like me, and am proud to say that I have the same personality type as the pope! I am not catholic, but come on. That's pretty awesome.


We took another personality test telling us if we are a lion, otter, golden retriever, or a beaver. I was most like the otter and second most like the lion. Both of these are accurate descriptions of myself.
The otter is very social, he is a people person and enjoys being popular. The otter makes many friends easily and loves to goof off. He can talk too much and his room is often messy. The lion is a leader. He is a decision-maker, goal-oriented, and is competitive. The lion can be too bossy and aggressive  at times however.
I relate closest to the otter, but I also contain the characteristics of the lion.

Ball Bounce Animation




This project was an introduction to animating in Photoshop. First, we were assigned with the simple task of making a ball bounce up and down (top left). Next, we had to show forward movement by making the same ball bounce from the left side of the screen to the right (middle left). And lastly, we were told to make a "special ending" for the ball, so I did my best to create a trampoline and have the ball turn into leaves on a dead tree (bottom left).
There was not a lot of planning done for this project, I mainly just figured out what I was doing as I went. The special ending was a bit different however, I had to brainstorm different ideas and test them out until I found one that worked and looked good. 
In this project, I learned the basics of frame animation in photoshop, and different drawing techniques, such as the grass tool, and making the ball look 3D.
If I did this project again, I would spend more time planning out what I was making before making it. Changing just one thing always messed up the rest of the project. However, one thing that I would keep the same if I did this again was the ball. I feel like I did a good job of making the ball look realistic.
This was a fun project and a good intro to animation.
