basic editing tutorials

Process

In this project their were a few different processes that
happened within it. The first one was to edit objects that
are not supposed to be in images out of them. It took a
little while but it was fun in the end and I learned a lot.
The second process had me take 3 images and combine
them to make one big image. That was fun, even though
it did take a while. All f the processes have taught e how
to do this in the future if I ever need to.

Tools

-The main tools used were;

  • Lasso Tool
  • Quick Selection Tool
  • Spot Healing Tool
  • Patch Tool
  • Clone Stamp Tool
  • Command J (Create new layer)

What I Learned

In this project I have learned how to edit stuff in and out
of pictures. I learned how to use all the tools listed above.
The process of learning all f this was a few days. Now if
I ever need to crop something out of a photo, I know how
to do it. Also now I know how to add stuff into photos. This
will be useful for Graphic Design, because I will be able to
add logos I made to images of the product to show a
customer what it would look like.

What I Think

I personally think that this project was fun. I learned so much
and I can't wait to apply all this knoll age to project and jobs
 I have in the future. If I could learn anything more I would
learn how to edit stuff to make someone smile in a project
because it would be fun to learn that.

Quarter 4 Reflection


Smart Glove by Smartech

What Is The Project

My fourth quarter team consisted of Samantha Romero-Benitez,
Berik Solis, Alex Tolman, and I. What our project was, was we
had to make a product and use everything we have learned in
e-Comm to try and advertise it. Our group came up with a
company called Smartech, and our product was Smart Glove.
This project took us weeks to do. In all that time we faced
several challenges. One of those challenges was trying to do the
animations and commercial without the graphic design. Another
challenge was trying to get a concept for a video, because we all
had our own ideas on it. We learned to have patients, and to keep
trying even when it seems hard and you want to give up. Some
of the feedback we got was that we all needed to work on our
script for our presentation. So I worked really hard and made a
full script and gave it to everyone three days before so we could
memorize the script. My overall opinion of our work is that I like
how it turned out but I wish that it would look more professional
and that the graphics would match our product better.

 What Is The Product 



Smart Glove by Smartech;


The glove comes with features that will allow you to text, call,  
play games, and also comes with a fully functional GPS. The 
GPS system shows you exactly where you need to go with a 3D 
map. This way you will know where you are going, what the 
building looks like, and what is on the way.

Smart glove is a full tech environmentally safe product. The 
glove is solar paneled and will save its energy, so you won't have
to plug it in and it does not put toxic waste in the air.
The glove has special technology to fit anyone who puts it on, as 
well as a special DNA scanner to unlock it so no one you don't want 
in your glove can get in. If you don't want to use the DNA scanner,
you also have the option to use a number passcode.

And, the most significant part of our glove is the holographs it 
comes with, the image will be right in front of you in 3D. NO more 
looking down and hurting your eyes, with this product you just have 
to look right in front of you.



How I Used My Time

The activities I worked on in class was I made the box Design, 
I turned the animations into animations, I was the director and 
actor in the commercial, I worked with Alex on the graphic 
design, and I made one of the pages on the website. In the 
times I was finished with  what I was doing I would come up 
with ideas of what our graphics could be, and I would work 
on our script for our presentation. I also researched ways that 
we could improve what we already had, like our box design, 
or our commercial. Outside the classroom I keep making 
designs for our graphic design, and I look up many ways to improve what It looks like. I also research how to make the commercial connect with the person watching it. We chose to use sympathy to connect with the audience and make them remember it. 


Areas of Strength and Areas needing Improvement

As an e-Comm student, and future employee of companies my strengths
 include coming up with new ideas for everything, and thinking as
 outside the box as I can. Whenever I have a new idea I right it down 
and work on it. Some weaknesses I need to Improve on is trying to
 remember how to make a website. I can go on and make it look pretty, 
and make it the best I can, but sometimes it's really hard for me to create 
and do the coding for website. But with hard work and effort, I will push 
threw this and get better. I will improve.

Summary Of This Quarter. 

This quarter my group started out in animation. In there we 
worked on our environment, box design, and banner. We 
where in there for about a week and a half. After that we went 
down to the video portion of our project. We where in there for 
about a week and a half as well. We made a commercial and 
edited it to fit our project. Then my group went to graphic 
design and worked on our website, graphic, word mark, coupon, 
and adds. We where in there for the rest of the time. After all 
that we had our shark-tank presentation. I loved all of it but the 
website. If I could go back and change something, I would 
change the way our logo looks because I personally don't think 
it matches our company as much as I would like it too. The overall
 thing that I have learned is that working with other is an important part of a team, and if they don't help and put effort into it that you should communicate with them so they do help and make it a team work.

Carp Design Web Design

Image 1; Before.

 Carp Design Web Design

The Process Of Making It            

This project took about 2 or 3 days to make. I had to open up Dream Weaver to start. I took the web page that they gave me to begin (image 1), and completely changed it to look more professional. I changed the color, founts, I made there a link so you could see before and afterwards, and I changed the arrangements of the whole web design.

 What I Have Learned

 This project has taught me how to change the color of the background, and the words by using the image as a color pallet. I learned how to change the fount, and arrangement of the whole paper. I also learned more of how to make links in my paper. But the best thing I learned was to be patient with Dream Weaver. I had a hard time trying to figure it all out, but now I know how to do much more.
Image 2; After.

What I Think Of It

I enjoyed making this project. I am thankful for all the stuff that I have learned. I am very happy that I have learned more of patients. I now know how to take a bad designed website and turn it into something perceptional. Even though it took a while, it was worth learning. That is what I think of this project.

ENFP
How My Results Show How I Work With Others

My personality test shows me that when i work with others,
I tend to like being in a group of a whole bunch of people
and backgrounds. It say that I tend to want authentic
experiences, and I often seek out what a person is feeling,
and thinking. I get bored easily with details and repetition.
I tend to want everyone around me happy, and I rely on my
experiences, but I want to go wherever inspiration leads me.
I tend to want to seek out situations where I don't have to do
what I'm not interested in, or just plain dull situations. If I
get in a group that is not fun for me then i try to make it fun,
but i end up getting really bored.
Misunderstood
In my pat there have always been people that have
misunderstood me, but it could just be because they didn't
understand my personality type. I try to make friends with
everyone I meet, and sometimes they don't want to be my
friend, because of this and their different personality they
have they just don't like me. My little sister and I are very
different, and we try to get along, but it's hard sometimes.
Maybe this is because we have different personalities.
What I Think Of My Results
 
I think that my results match my personality almost if not
completely right on. I love to help people where ever i go,
and i am always thinking in the moment Everything about
the results are literally spot on. Knowing my results helps
me a little to better understand why I am the way I am. I
always have had an impulse to help people when i get the
chance, and i am always doing things right i the moment.
Other ways that they describe help me better understand
too. I get really bored by repetition and the details when
someone is talking to me or giving me instructions, and
almost all my friends are completely different. I tend to
have a lot of activities or hobbies that I love doing. This is
all just a few of the many reasons why ENFP really fits me,
and is literally spot on.
 
Lion/Otter/Beaver/Golden Retriever

The Lion/Otter/Beaver/Golden Retriever teat was a test to
see which animal personality you mostly match you. I think
what I got was pretty accurate. I got a Golden Retriever as
what I am most like, and an Otter as what I am second most
like. The golden retriever, tells me that i am loyal to my
friends, and try to be kind to everyone. It also says that I have
a hard time expressing myself, but i am always good at
helping others, and staying calm. It also says that I have
friends but a few close friends, but I have a hard time with
the issue of trust. The Otter tells me that I talk a lot, and am
always trying to please others. It also tells me that I am known
for having a messy room, which is funny to me. That is what
this test has told me.

What I Learned
These are all things that I know now thanks to the
personality test. I know why some people don't get along
with me, we have different personalities. I now know why
I am the way I am, and why I act a certain way different
from everyone else. Now I know how I act in curtain
groups, or in teams. I also know that I am not the only
one with this personality, and what famous people have
my personality too. I found out that I am most like Golden
Retriever, am loyal to all my friends, have a kind heart, but
have a hard time expressing my emotions. And I know that
I am made this way and I should love they way I am, no
matter what others say about my personality.






Running from point A to B

How I Filmed My Video

We all got into groups of 4 with one director. The teacher
chose the director. Then the students pic the director. My
group consist of a whole bunch of different people, which
gave us a lot of good ideas. No one else was willing to be
 the actress, so I stepped up to the plate. We filmed all
over the school, but it took us a long time to film. We did
a lot of interesting things with the camera, for example we
filmed the feet running, and we filmed a big thing in the
cafeteria. It was a lot of fun.

How I Edited My Video 

Editing my video did not take as long as filming. I had to
find music that went with the scene, and matched my feet
movement. I even put in a sound effect. I had to cut out a
lot, and speed up the video a little sometimes to make it all
fit in the span of 1 minute. It took a long time but I liked
doing it and had fun.

What I Thing About This Project

I love how my project turned out. even though it took my
group a long time to film, and it took a long time to edit, to
me it was worth it. The people in my group are now friends
to me that wouldn't have made if we didn't do this project. I
also just had so much fun filming and editing, its just
something that I love doing. These are some of the reasons
why i enjoyed doing this project.

 How To Print / My First Video

The Process Of Filming It

The first thing my partner for the project and I did was figure
out how to use a Tripod. Once we figured that out we started to
record our video. We wanted to start showing the library sign
above the door, but we every time we tried the camera would
shake. There are too many bloopers for this, but the bloopers are
honestly my favorite part of filming. We laughed so much, it was
so much fun.

The Process Of Editing It

Editing the video we probably just as fun as filming. First I
looked threw all my film to find my best shots. once I found
them I took the audio from the film and deleted it. I found a
loyalty free song and put it over my video. I put some transitions
like fading for the video and audio to make it even better. Then
I posted it on Youtube.

What I Think About It

I love how my video turned out. The process of filming it was so
much fun, I couldn't stop laughing going through all the film to try
and find the right film was even funnier. The finessed product to me
is very impressive, and I hope everyone else likes it.

My Website

My Website

 About The Website 

The website I made took a long time to make. It turned out great, but I still had a couple slip ups. At one point dreamweaver started to glitch out on me, so I had to redo what I was doing.  It has some pastel colors to complement the colors of the projects I have in the website. I learned a lot from this project, stuff I wouldn't have known if we didn't do this. I just can't believe I made a website, and I hope you think its as cool as I think.

The Process Of Making It

 We did this project on dreamweaver. First I made the front page, put our picture on it, and made all the links work. Then I made the projects page, and put 4 projects on it. I made the link work that goes from the home page to the projects page. I made a youtube channel and copied a link for my bouncing ball project in it. After
that I colored it, and changed the fount. When I was finally done
I looked back and previewed my website. I think it turned out great.

What I Think Of It

My website looks great, works, and is a really big accomplishment of mine. Yes it did take a long time, and yes I did mess up a few times, but I am very proud of it. It takes a lot of effort, knowledge, and patients to make a website, and somehow I was able to do it. I hope that you guys like it as much as I do.
