Picmonkey

Picmonkey was a fun site to use but I don't think it will be as useful after Halloween because many of the most interesting tools normally require you to pay and were free for a limited time. If I had the choice between using picmonkey or photoshop for a project I would probably use picmonkey because it is very user friendly and has many cool effects.

Alien Project

Instead of creating an alien I decided to go with a demon/Joker type of look. This was a very fun project and an interesting way to get creative. I think making my cranium look larger kind of messed up the picture, but I didn't know I was going to go with the Joker at that point. The eye shadow and lipstick looks awkward on screen but looked better in photoshop.

Photostory and Sony Music Studio

My Photostory is a representation of the past and current history of Egypt including famous landmarks and the revolution just this past year. I also included an Egyptian style beat using Sony Music Studio.  Sony Music Studio is a really fun and interesting program that has a HUGE amount of possibility, because of the large variety of sounds available in the program. Without photoshop photostory wouldn't as useful of a program because of the lack of editing available.

Underwater Photoshop Project

We practiced using different selection tools to add images onto an underwater background. I put in an anchor, but it looked too bright so I burnt part of it. I got a picture of a shark and made it eat a whale. The dolphin is crying watching his whale friend be eaten. I added the octopus then made an ink cloud out of its shadow. There is also some clown fish and a submarine in the background.

Design Elements and Principles

Design Elements and Principles

We used Prezi in class again to make a presentation after taking pictures of various elements of design throughout the school. It was really fun and interesting using the group aspect of Prezi.

Pixton

We used a program called Pixton in class to create our own comics. I randomly came up with this idea frame by frame.
