3rd Marking Period


In this multimedia course, I used 5 different software, which are Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Google Sketch Up, Microsoft Power Point, and Microsoft Publisher. With Photoshop I learned how to use the "Blending Options," opacity,"Gradient tool", work paths, filters, effects, "Magic Wand Tool", smart filters, and other tools and techniques, to get the desired appearance on a picture and to create posters. with Illustrator, I learned how to create images of objects, such as a phone and a flash drive , by using the Ellipse Too", offset path, "Gradient Tool", pathfinder, and other tools. With Google Sketch up i learned how to create 3D objects, including a gingerbread house by using the "Push and Pull Tool", measuring tape, and other tools. With Microsoft Power Point I made a slide show to put my assignments together. With Microsoft Publisher, I made a business card and a brochure to display information. Overall, I got to learn and pick up many different skills that I plan to keep using, like creating a poster with Photoshop, or using filters and effects to get a desired appearance in a picture. I really enjoyed this class and I think it was very useful.

#26(Part 2): Showcase Room
to complete the second part of this assignment, I needed to add the lights of the room. I had problems grouping the layers of the first light, so that I could make two more lights for the room. So I asked Ms. Wang to help me make a group with all the layers of the first light. After making the group,i made two copies and placed them in the desired location in the room. Last, I downloaded the pictures of The Hunger Games Trilogy to showcase. 

#26((Part 1): Showcase Room
To do this assignment, first I opened a new document in Adobe Photoshop.Second, I made a big rectangle to be the room, and 4 small rectangles to the corners of the bigger rectangle. Third, I labeled the sides of the room, including left wall, right wall, ceiling, floor,and middle, in different layers. Fourth,I adjusted the perspective of the room by going to edit, transform,and the perspective. Last, using the blending options, i brought the room lo life by giving color and needed effects to each layer of the room. 



25: Glowing Power Button
To do this assignment, first, I opened Adobe Photoshop. Second, using the "Ellipse Tool" I made two circles. Second, I used the "Blending Options" including  "Gradient Overlay" to change the effect and color of the circles. Third, I used the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” and a couple of filter to give the button a more realistic effect. Fourth, I added the power symbol to the button and used the "Blending Options" to add effects. Fifth, I grouped all the layers i had and then duplicated the group. Last, I used the blending options to add the green glow to the layers and then using the animation panel I added the animation to the button.
GIF is "Graphics Interchange Format - Picture Format".
Animation works by putting a series of pictures that are slightly different from the previous one, to created a single animated image. "The series of GIFs are put in order and layered one on top of the other in a photo or illustration editing program". Then you have to set the speed in which the animation would go and weather it would stop or repeat over again. in this case the animation repeats.
