2017 Annual Graphics Art Competition

   This reflection journal will be going over the 2017 Annual Graphics Art Competition held in June 2, 2017. In this competition we were separated into several groups, where we would design a poster, illustrate a drawing, program a website, etc. I was put in the illustration category, we had 4 hours to draft and colour our drawings using tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator. We were provided Wacom Intuos Pros to use for drawing. We got two wins in Web Design and that's all.
   Afterwards we had to cross the Brooklyn Bridge where we took pictures of the bridge and the surroundings.

Project 2: Collage, Silhouette and lettering

Image
In this project, we were supposed to make a collage of images about a person inside of a cutout of that person, and also make an outline of that person that describes said person. The objective of the lab was to see if we could use what we learned so far, it was to get us more familiar with things such as masks. Collage: I started by duplicating the picture of the person, then I made a selection of the person I chose. I would delete the person. Now I would import the images I was using for the collage. I would drag the images below the cutout, using the layer’s tab on the right-side panel. Then I would align them and save. Outline: I started by duplicating the picture of the person, then I made a selection of the person I chose. This time I would go to Select>Inverse, this allows me to delete everything except the person. Now I would go back and do Select>Inverse again, to select the person. Then I use the Horizontal Type tool to write 4-5 things about the person. Now double...

Project 3 : Restore Old Photograph

Image
   In this lab we were supposed to edit a damaged image with the tools we used in lab 8 which were, spot healing tool, healing tool, patch tool, etc. The objective of the lab was to teach us how to use tools to fix an image that was damaged. I completed this by using the healing tool to get rid of the damage in the background. I then would go and fix the bottom of the picture with the blanket or something similar, for this I would use the patch tool, healing tool, and spot healing tool. Then I would use the same tools to work on the colour damage. After that I started work on the eyes, and then finished the hair.    We used Adobe Photoshop CS6. This is relevant to web design because we may have to fix images in our line of work depending on the way we work and what type of work we do. I see myself using these skills to fix images that I need to use for a webpage or just as a business in general.

Windows Vs Mac | What We Discussed In Class

Image
Today we learned the different kinds of commands we can use in Mac, like CMD + X is to cut, CMD + Z is to undo, and CMD + A is to select all. Really basic stuff. We learned about what commands do what and how to activate them. We had a discussion about what stuff Mac and Windows had, Ms.Ramirez talked about how she made a computer with her son, it costed around $450+, but she said there was a terabyte solid state drive which itself the cheapest you can get those for is $230, so I don't know how they fit that into a PC build that costed around $450. Anyways, I digress. We also discussed features of macOS, like the multiple desktops feature available.
