  I really enjoyed this project because I felt like it put everything together really well. I made me remember some of my best work. I think my blue and black theme looked great. I will show this too my parents when I'm home for the holiday.

BW to color

  I struggled with this first and figured it out after a few hours. I couldn't quite make it look how I wanted to still but worked hard to. My favorite picture would be the complimentary colors.

Business Card

Image
  I really enjoyed this assignment because I really could use one of these in the future or use this skills I learned to customize a business specific to my company. I tried to use designs that aren't too basic and maybe a little different to get people to take a second glance. My favorite are the Green and Blue designs.

Postcard

Image
  For some reason the back won't upload. It is white with my tag brush and lines for writing. I had fun making this because was simple and easy. I'm from Boston Mass so this is how I'd make a post card themed Boston. I wanted to have a picture of the city, but I thought a cartoon version would be more fitting on a post card.

PS HW 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTzvQkOll2U I believe the Polygonal lasso tool will be easy to use. It create selections with straight edges. Im going to use this when I need to outline shapes. I felt this was interesting because the creator went into every little detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61mkx_OV61s The selection tool should be extremely simple and easy to use. I will use it to isolate part of an image so I can work on that area without affecting the rest of the image. I felt this was video was interesting because the creator went very in depth with such a simple tool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7MnXostsac  The brush tool seems pretty easy. You can paint on any layer like with a real paintbrush. Lots of different colors/settings to choose too. I felt this was interesting because the step by step learning was extremely understanding.

INdesign vidoes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_fu1wcT0Y In this video he explains the pages feature. I feel this feature will be easy to as its not very complicated.  I might use this feature in Magazine or book making. It should be really helpful if there is a project ahead that involves that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuE8JpajmgY In this video he explains the paragraph styles feature. This feature can control the font size, or color to determine how the text in a paragraph looks. It's extremely helpful and can organize things well. Can also organize formatting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AshfNo-i8Ws In Adobe InDesign, the "Text Wrap" tool is a feature that allows you to control the flow of text around images or other objects in your layout. This feature would take a little getting used to for me. Should be helpful as it creates a boundary around the object that repels text. 

Galvin Animation

Image
  It took me awhile to figure out how to make an animation, but once I figured out the basics it was way easier, just very time consuming. In this animation a boat is sailing in the water while a shark chases a fish under it. I enjoyed this project I feel I could use these animation for other fun things out of school.
