make the assignment then I filled them with a color. I really

liked this assignment because I was able to use a different software.

Assignment #21B

In this assignment I created different shapes and used the push and

pull tool to create a 3D effect. I liked this assignment because I

was able to use a new software and create 3D shapes. I learned how to make 3D shapes

a tool.

Assignment #21C

In this assignment I used lines and shapes to create my name

instead of using the text tool. Then I filled the letters with a color and

                                 glass and crazy text effect. The background I used was a gradient
                                 tool. Then I inserted a picture of Alfred Lerner Hall. I really enjoyed

Assignment # 13

Food Bank's Poster: My Poster:

State the background - Solid or gradient? For this assignment I used a gradient background.
How you created the "new" food? To create the new food I used magic wand and erased the potato and clipped the carrots in the bag.
Correctly identify the type of blending options used in this poster.

I used a inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, Bevel and Emboss and a stroke effects for the carrot chips bag. For the food bank logo I used an outer glow effect.

For this assignment I took a pumpkin and cut out eyes, eyebrows, a nose

and a mouth. Then I used the effects: inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, gradient overlay

and a stroke to create the pumpkin's features. Then I created an outer glow outside the

pumpkin. One thing I learned from this assignment was how easy it easy to create a

Jack O' Lantern on the computer. It way easier than actually carving a pumpkin.

Happy Halloween!

To create this assignment I used a brick wall and my flag. Then I used a few filters to create

the effect. I used a Hard light blending mode on the flag. I also used a Gaussian Blur on the copy of the brick wall. I really liked this assignment because I learned how to incorporate my country's flag to create something that looks really cool. I learned how to create a cool effect using a brick wall.

To create this assignment I followed the same steps as the previous assignment.

The only thing that is different is that instead of a brick wall I used a picture of

my face. Then I erased the rest of the flag so the flag would only be covering my face.

I really liked this assignment because I was able to incorporate a picture of myself and my flag.

In this assignment I used Adobe Photoshop.I learned how to take an image and make

it look like it's actually moving. I applied a motion blur filter to the image and erased

the car so that the background is the only thing that is blurry. I really liked this

assignment because it was easy and I obtained new skills.

In this assignment I used Adobe Photoshop.To create this assignment I used the brush tool

to select the hair area. Then I painted it black. I learned how to select an area with a

different tool than magic wand. I really liked this assignment because I learned something new.

In this assignment I used Adobe Photoshop. To create this I used a brush tool and added a

blur to my face. I erased the eyes and lips so that only the face can be blurry.I really liked this assignment because I learned how to add a soft

chicken. I learned how to create a glass effect, plastic, crazy effect and photo fill. I also learned how to create a healthy alternative and a dress. Using Adobe Photoshop I learned about the endless things

I could do using my imagination.

In this assignment I used Adobe Illustrator. I used the rectangle, ellipse and round rectangle tool

for each shape. I also used a pen tool. Then I used the gradient tool for the color of the USB

drive. I liked this assignment because I learned how to create a USB drive using a

different software.

In this assignment I used Adobe Illustrator. I used the ellipse and rectangle tool to

create letters for my name. I used different shape modes to get the desired shape for my letters.

Then i filled in the letters using a gradient tool.

I created this assignment using adobe illustrator. Then I used different shape tools. Then I

used minus front to delete the shapes. I learned how to do something that will be helpful

on the test.

Assignment #20- Finished Stage

about day 1- what shapes did you make on day 1 and what treatment did you add to these shapes. How did you create a "smaller copy"?

To make the shape I used the rectangle tool and put a specific length and width. I created a

smaller copy by creating an offset path.

about day 2 - what pathfinder tools did you use with the different shapes to create the function buttons.

I used the offset path to create different shapes. Then I would put a specific radius.

about day 3 - more buttons were created. the round menu button and the number key pad... what function was used to created the gradient ring? how did you "copy" the other number keys after the first one?

To create the round menu by using the offset path. Then I filled it with different

gradient colors. For the number pad I used the offset path to create different shapes. Then

I did the following steps to make the copies " Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform, enter the following settings: Copies: 2 Move, Horizontal: 35px, leave the other values as default, click OK. After that go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform. Click on the Apply New Effect button and enter the following settings: Copies: 3 Move, Vertical: -27px, click OK".

about day 4 - to give the illusion of a depressed speaker we created this _____ to redefine the topography of the OVAL. then we use the ellipse shape(s) to create a mic for this phone.

what parts of the test did you have to ask Miss Wang? what did you do to solve the problem?

I had difficulties with creating the buttons. I solved this problem

by closely reading the steps and following it word by word.
