Final Reflection

Throughout this elective course, I learned to use various software in Multimedia. Primary software that we used were Publisher, Power Point, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Google SketchUp. Each of these software present different kind of purpose that assisted in our project. Through Publisher, it is a simple software that allow us to create different template and format to achieve our objective such as helping us generate a Business Card Format or a Brochure Format. By using Power Point, it allow us to update our assignment summary and also create a presentation. Out of all the software that we have experienced, we were primarily focused on creating project through Adobe Photoshop which is a software that help organize, edit, and publish our image/project. In addition we also uses Adobe illustrator to create vector images and design image by using various tool such as pathfinder and creating shape. Lastly we incorporated the usage of Google SketchUp that is a 3D modeling program in which we can create 3D image of specific objects in our construction and architectural assignment. For future success, I believe Google SketchUp is my personal favorite that will help me in Architectural and Engineering career.

27: My Schedule Brochure.

Going back to Publisher, we wrap up for the spring semester of our sophomore year by creating a brochure. On each section of the brochure, we wrote about our daily schedule and period we attend at Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics. Save As .PUB & .JPG

26: Showcase

We end our Day 3 showcase by selecting 3 pictures and open up in Photoshop. Then we place them each under the spotlight, completing the assignment. Save As .PSD & .JPG

26: Showcase Day 2

For this next step we start designing the spot light by creating an oval ellipse on the ceiling and edit the layer setting. We then create another smaller oval ellipse inside the bigger ellipse and adjust a different setting. After that is done we start creating the light by selecting the “Elliptical Marquee Tool” (M) and make a selection on the floor directly beneath the light and filter with guassian blur. Before we move on to the light we create another similar one on the wall. For the spotlight

26: Showcase Day 1

We create the layout of the showcase room by primarily using the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” (M) and the Ruler tool to create the different dimension of the room. Also to create the depth of the room we go to “Edit > Transform > Perspective.” After we finish the layout we then got to each of the layer and start editing the setting. Save As .PSD & JPG

25: Animation

For this task, we'll be creating a Glowing Button by using Adobe PhotoShop. To get started we first create a grayish black background in our canvas. Then we use the ellipse tool to draw a circle that will be our button and start editing the layer style. Next we create the smaller circle by pressing (Ctrl + T) for the “Free Transform Tool”, select one of the corner anchor points then hold down (Shift + Alt). Drag downwards resizing the ellipse. Once we got our size we right-click the layer and go to “Clear Layer Styles” and start re-editing the new setting. Afterward we select the Rectangular Marquee Tool” (M) then make a selection around the canvas and fill the selection with the color black. With that done we add a noise filter the black rectangle by going to “Filter > Noise > Add Noise”. Forward on we deselect the selection (Ctrl + D) then set the layer blend mode to “Screen”. After creating the body of the button we finally start creating the power symbol by downloading our desired image and open it in Photoshop and start editing it layer. Finishing the Glow button we go to the animation panel “Window > Animation and start adjusting for the animation. Save As .PSD & GIF

24: 3d effect in Photoshop

Back to Photoshop, we are going to create a 3D effect base on the Bungalow we create in Google SketchUp and open it up in Photoshop to start editing. We first select our desired background and open it up in Photoshop before we open our Bungalow. Then after we combine the Bungalow with the background we are going to it layer style and set the foreground as Blue by checking off the Red channel. Next step we copy the foreground layer and label it RED this time uncheck the G and B channel. To finish the product we are going to move the blue and red layer a bit to the side. Save as .PSD & JPG
