I like purple :)



Using Photshop, once again and using photoes of the clock and the keyboard, this picture has been made.
The gauge and the bearing was already part of the picture its just that they were "unseen". Therefore, after all of the things were done on the background, they become "seen" by clicking the eye on the side of the picture at the layer group. the steps on how to do the background was fairly straight forward. Looking at the keyboard picture, the tool "gradient" was used. This was used to give thqat purple shade of the keyboard to give some intensity on the picture. Futhermore, to have a finished product of the clock like on the picture. Using the eliptical tool to crop the clock and used the screen effect in order to get the effect that is seen above.

Package

Using Photoshop, the picture started with a box and a file with a separated logo.
The logo was copied and pasted onto the box and placed accordingly while making sure that
the logo will not exceed the box's size in order for the picture to work and look
presentable. Using the Image button, the arrow should be leaded into "Transform" and click distort. This will give the illution of the top half of the logo to be printed onto the box. Furthermore, the bottom of the logo
should be placed in "normal" in order for it to look "real". This is one example that one can do
using photoshop. Easy and simple. One should just follow the instructions and try it a couple times in order for the picture to look proffesional and not look like it was edited.

Boat in Venice

In this assignment, once again, we used the photoshop to edit this picture. The clouds were added on the original picture. There was also sunshines on the boat using the sponge tool. The "stamp" tool made the boat disappear from the original picture. Also, the picture became more distinct than black and white like the original picture. There is now more details and dramatic colours added in order to make the picture look perfect. Furthermore, adjusting levels and enhancing the picture gave it more detail. In conclusion, the picture well became more dramatic when editing has been done.

Melon head + reflection


Well this is how the "melon head" ended up. I used different types of food and fruits like kiwi, carrots, blueberries, melon, pasta noodle, beets, pear, and a grapefruit. The blueberries and carrots replaced the position of a human's eye and a pimple which was something that was changed from the original imge. The carrot also served as the "shadow" of the eye.The beets, which is a type of vegetables, served as an eyebrown. The "laso tool" was used in order to this image to be cropped properly.The pear served as the nose. This was again cropped using the laso tool. Furthermore, the grapefruit replaced the ears again, by using the laso tool, this was succesfully done. On the other hand, the kiwi served as a mouth. This was successfully cropped using the crop tool using the circular crop button. The mouth was on purposely cut in between because a human's mouth is not a perfect circle, might as well make it accurate.The pasta served as a little ribbon on the head or hair, if possible.  Lastly, the melon itself served as the head or the "base" of the picture. This was successfully done by using the adobe photoshop. It is an easy way to make art out of anything, like in this case, fruits.

MADD presentation reflection

For today's presentation, Albert, the speaker, showed us a very moving video about drunk drivers and how they can take away people's lives and their own. The video really moved me and somehow placed me into tears. It does give a huge lesson for everyone, especially teens. This is an important matter. One of the story is about the girl that lost her boyfriend and this really made me cry because I do have a friend that lost her boyfriend and he died. It just brings back the memories when she was telling me what happened. It is sad that I have to see her crying in front of me saying why all this happened.I was thinking of her when I was watching that episode and I can not help to not cry a little bit. I know it hurts for her, but it even hurts for me to see her like that. This is why this presentation moved me and it made me think of what is right and wrong. It is very important to think before doing, I think this is what this presentation is all about.
