Photoshop

The purpose of this assignment was to become familiar with photoshop, I chose a picture from a book and learned how to change it from a normal picture to pop art, then I chose a picture of my own to transform. This actually took longer than I expected, photoshop was kind of complicated. It worked out because it turned out aalot better than I thought. On a scale of 1- 10 i give this one a 9. If I did it again I would pick a picture with more colors.

Mood As Color

In this unit I learned how to represent different moods using only three colors. The pictures I made turned out better than I thought, I had fun with them and made them awesome. I'm most proud of the frightening picture, it took me a little longer than expected. On a scale of 1-10 I give this one an 8.

Tween Animation

In this unit I was supposed to learn about digital animation. There was alot of unexpected small problems that came up, It didn't turn out quite like I thought it would, it turns out flash is a pretty complicated program. It did take a little longer than I thought but I liked how it turned out. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7.

4 Black Squares

The purpose of this assignment was to learn how to communicate feeling using four black squares. The only thing unexpected was that I forgot to save one set of blocks so I had to do it over again today. It turned out really different than I thought, when I started I had no clue what to do with the blocks to make them represent a feeling. On a scale of 1-10 I give this one a 7. I think doing only four pictures for each word was a good idea, I think I would have gotten really stumped if I had to do six.

The Garageband Song

The purpose of this assignment was to learn how to use garageband loops to make a song. The only unexpected thing that happened was the song jumping from 45 seconds to 1:30. The song actually turned out better than I thought it would. Nothing took longer than I thought, it actually went faster than I thought. If I did this again I wouldn't make a techno/dance song and on a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8.

The Magazine Review

Flipbook

In this unit I had to make a flipbook out of a post-it note pad. I'm most proud of the storyline, I really wanted to do something nobody else has done before. While I was looking at the samples I saw a lot of flipbooks that made me think "Oh yeah ive seen this before," so I wanted to do something different. I would rate my creativity between 8-9. My favorite aspect of this project was that it was fun, and my least favorite was that I had to draw the same thing a bunch of times. I didn't expect to use way more than 50 pages, I wanted to make it flow really well and didn't realize how many pages I had used. Over all I would give it a 8, I could have made the stick drawings a little better but it got annoying drawing the same thing so I started rushing a little bit.
