basic photoshop techniques

in my contemporary media class. we were introduced into the basic photoshop techniques that we used to create the photo below.

Photoshop Logo Project

For my third contemporary media,we created a personalized logo using adobe photoshop.



The logo process involved the following steps:
The first step is to set the resolution in the setting to 72.
The second step is to change the background color to your choose of color: I chose purple.
The third step is to create a new layer and type your name onto that layer.
The fourth step is to change the color of the text to pop on what background color you chose.
The fifth step is creating a layer in between the text layer and the background creating a middle layer for you to draw on using a brush.
The sixth layer you need to select the brush tool and chose a brush style you like and a color to go with it
The seventh and final step is to create something on the middle layer that you like

In conclusion, I think it's really cool to learn how to create logos in this class. This class is going to teach use valuable skills that we will be able to use in this internet age. Thing that seem easy can actually be very difficult.

6 Quarter Final

I started this class on January 11 of 2016. The first program I learned was adobe illustrator. Illustrator is a relatively easy program to use. After illustrator, We learned how to use adobe flash. It was a very

simple program to use.

 

Using flash I created a project that was for digicom but never made it to the deadline. The project got finished a few weeks later and has been ok by the teacher that it has meet the required standards of what the quality should be. Some of the animation hit a bumpy road at points but I work all the kinks out of it. The main character is bob the box who can't fit through the doors till he learned a secret on how to get through them thanks to the help of the others big box.

5th quarter animation

We are working with adobe flash cs5 professional to create what should have been Digicom projects but are now just animations. The first thing we did at the beginning of the quarter was create our storyline and how it would progress. the next big step was to draw our characters in flash to create our assets we would use for the animations. after that we could start an animation, it took longer for other students to get to this stage but they look good. our flash training in the beginning of this year really helped out.

My story is about a box named bob who can't fit indoors without the info he needs. it takes place on earth at a movie theater and an ice cream shop. he meets another big box that's bigger than him. the bigger box shows him how to fit through doors with a trick he learned over time. bob eventually gets what he wants which is an ice cream cone.

it is not easy being an animator that can't draw well. it required a lot of work for me to get the characters somewhat close to what I wanted of them. there's not much for me to do in any of the acts just some clean up work to smooth it out. the only background scene I have is a sidewalk that everything comes to play on. I haven't made a soundtrack for it yet, nor have I made sound effects for it either.i have an idea for the background music but nothing solid. overall it will be a good project.
