Project 2 Collage Lettering Reflection

-


    What I did in this project is that I used the quick selection tool to select Harry's body completely. I then created a mask of what I selected. I duplicated the layer of the inverse of what I selected in the beginning. I proceeded to use 8 images to fill in the white space that was left where the body should be. The 8 images had to me things that represented him. The images I used were of his movie poster: Dunkirk, the band he was in which was One Direction, The sweater he has which included all of his tattoos, a music note since he is a singer, a picture of his microphone that he always uses, a picture of fangirls which because we're basically why he has a job, a picture of the Gucci sign because his signature suits are always Gucci and money because that's something he has plenty of.
     After this, I did something called letter tracing. It consisted of me duplicating the layer with the mask on it and then adding the layer to selection. I then deleted the layer mask and was left with a cutout. Using the Type tool, I added this quote which is "Treat people with kindness", and this ended going all around his body 


creating a silhouette. Lastly, I created a new colour layer just about the layer with the tracing, and filled it with a light blue colour.
    These tools are useful to us because we now know how we can cut out part of an image and insert something else in its place. For example, when we are creating our business cards, we could have a background that we like but the image that is in the middle doesn't really go with what we want. In stead of having to pick another picture, we could cut out whats in the middle and replace it with an image that goes with what we have in mind.

Difference between 300ppi and 72ppi

-

   When you need to print a picture, you need a 300ppi resolution in order for it to have a high resolution and for it to look professional. When you are inserting a picture in a webpage, you need a 72ppi resolution so it doesn't look too bright. For example, when printing out the two pictures, the one with 300ppi resolution was a good picture because since it had a high resolution, you were able to see the picture clearly as if it was a regular picture and not something that was printed. Compared to the 72ppi resolution, which was too dim and you weren't able to distinguish things very clearly.

Lab 6 Reflection

For lab 6 we had to use what we learned in lab 4 to animate a box in the same way. I t was basically like a redo of lab 5 but with a stop button included. Although, in this lab we had to include a “stop” button which, when pressed, will stop the animation currently in progress. For example, if you clicked on the move animation, originally, the box would move from its initial position to wherever it’s ending position is. With the stop button you can stop the animation halfway through so the box only moves halfway to were it was supposed to be. The set up for this is the same to the lab 4. First, we create the stop button in HTML whilst giving it an ID so that we can call it with a JQuery selector. In your javascript file you add an event listener to the stop button. Then if the button is pressed you use the built in JQuery function “.stop()” which stops the animations.

CTE Expo

CTE expo is a way for communicating to the freshman. As well as to show the freshman what we do in the web design academy. To prepare, we created a board showing off the business cards which is one of the many projects that you do In the first year of the web design academy. I presented my board a few teachers and some students in order to receive their attention.  I was able to convince a few students into joining the web design academy. And I was able to present without surprisingly having a anxiety, hehe. In order to improve, I can include more information about what the academy is about and how it is based on my current experiences. I felt that it went very well and a bit as planned
