3rd Marking Period

In these assignments we used Google sketch in order to make shapes and our names. We used the measuring tool in order to create the necessary dimensions of the shape, and used the push and pull tool to make the shape 3D. We used our knowledge of using Google sketch in order to create a more challenging shape/object.

In this assignment we used google sketch again in order to create a gingerbread house. We used tools such as push and pull, and the measuring tool in order to create the desired shapes and depths of the house. We uploaded an image in order to help us understand and create the model, sort of a template or design to copy from.

 

We created a gif using photoshop. We created two layers for the button in order to make it glow, one without the color green and one with it. We combined the layers using a program in Photoshop and created time lapses within between the two layers so that button gradually turns from on to off in a certain amount of time. 

 

In this assignment we used Photoshop in order to create a showcase. We followed the instructions on the website in order to create the room itself. We added a sort of 3D rectangle form to the room in order to create a room that will be able to showcase objects, or in this case, animals. We cut out the animals using the magic wand tool in order to create a more smooth texture to them and displayed them under the lights we made.

 

Quiz: What is a Gif? 

A gif is defined as a lossless format for compressing image files. A gif can either be created by compressing numerous photos in a certain time frame that will enable the end product to produce a video in a sense, and can also be created through video sniping. You can take certain parts of a video, snip them from the completed product and compress them in a program that will play that part of the video in repeat. 

Multimedia Reflection:
Throughout the course of Multimedia we used numerous programs. Programs including Microsoft PowerPoint and Publisher, Google Sketch, and Adobe Photoshop. I was already quite familiar with Microsoft Photoshop and Publisher as I used them in previous years in Elementary, and Middle School so it was fairly easy navigating through those assignments. Photoshop was quite interesting for me, as all my friends would always talk about Photoshop and all the things it can be used for such as editing pictures and movies but I never really understood how difficult it could be at times. Despite having step by step instructions on how to complete an assignment, I still found some difficult to complete. Google sketch was by far my the most enjoyable program we navigated through this semester. It was sort of a load off your shoulders. At first I found it difficult to create the shapes and objects with the correct dimensions but as you get the hang of it, you're able to complete everything like one-two-three. Creating the quiz was by far my most enjoyable assignment within google sketch and my quiz shape in particular was by far one of the easiest, but also I was able to complete it without hesitation in a matter of minutes. I wish to gain perspective when going into my next elective. That everything has a certain way of being completed and that not everything can be rushed, but carefully thought through.

2nd Marking Period

In this assignment we simply used two colors in order to make a gradient background, adding in two pictures for the design of the flyer, and added in text using our text box, and made the title using steps we learned from our previous assignment, Plastic Text.

In this assignment we used a picture of a suit and pattern in an attempt to add the pattern onto the suit, we put the pattern over the suit, used our short cut keys to make the pattern cut onto the shape of the suit, and used our opacity settings in order to help give a realistic look to the suit with the finished pattern over it.

In this assignment we found a pumpkin online, cut it out of the picture so that we will be only left with the pumpkin, used the pen tool to draw the shape of the facial features, and used layering options that enabled the inside of the shapes to appear to be glowing, and used a simple black gradient background.

In assignments 15A and 15B, we used filter options such as distort and used Gaussian Blur in order to help add texture and detail to our picture, and in order to do this we had to used double layers of our primary picture, in this case the brick wall and layered it under a flag design and with our filter settings, we added detail to create the finished product.

In assignments 15A and 15B, we used filter options such as distort and used Gaussian Blur in order to help add texture and detail to our picture, and in order to do this we had to used double layers of our primary picture, in this case the photo of me and layered it under a flag design and with our filter settings, we added detail to create the finished product.

In this assignment we used Photoshop in order to change either the teeth color from yellow to white, or the eye color of a person. I changed the oh so fabulous, Selena Gomez's eyes to blue using Photoshop. In this assignment we used numerous filters and layer masks in order to change the color of her eyes according to the size by using the radius slider.

 

In this assignment we used Photoshop in order to clear the subjects skin. We used a quick layering mask that softened the texture and color of the skin that masked the acne and flawed skin texture, and created a lighter, softer look to the face.

 

In this assignment we created a USB drive, We used various shapes such as a rectangle, a circle, and squares in order to create it.  We used different gradient levels in order to create the color layers of the USB Drive. In order to create the top end of the USB we created it using simple lines that add a great extend of detail to the image.

Assignment 20 was by far one of the longest assignments we had. This assignment consisted of creating a phone. In order to create this we needed to create a significant amount of layers for the rectangular shape of the phone, and cut it out so it would appear rounded on the edges, and as well we needed to create multiple layers for the buttons, and later on added text to them so they would appear as number dials. We obtained the images on the sides of the arrow keys by alt codes founds, and put them in place. We completed the overall phone in a week, making it one of the longest projects assigned in the semester.
