Livia's Brochure

For our Final project we had to create a brochure. In the brochure I had to write a summary of myself and my school. I included my schedule and information about how I travel to school. To complete the brochure I used publisher. I used each divided section for each period and then used copy and paste to add the pictures. Throughout this semester of multimedia I have learned many new things. I learned how to use programs I didn't even know existed like sketch-up and publisher. With each program I learned how to change effects on pictures or create different formats.

#26 Final Test

For the final test, I had to complete a showcase of myself. After completing the room I focused on the details. First i created the shape of the lights with the ellipse tool. Then i completed the instructed blending options. I learned that instead of redoing the lights 3 different times i could just duplicate the layers and move them to the designated locations. The next step was to leave the lights glare, again i used the ellipse tool and filled it with white then changed its opacity and adding a blur. Once that was complete i used the magnetic lasso tool to crop only myself out of the pictures taken. Then i inserted them into the canvas. The final step was to add a text box. With this final test i learned how to add depth into canvases to make it look like a 3d room. I also learned easier ways to complete task that share the same requirements by using the duplicate layer tool.

#26 Room Before

After creating the canvas i used the ruler to mark down different sections of each part. The next step was to label each section either ceiling, floor, left wall, right wall, and center. Then I had to snap the corners to add depth to the image. Each section required different effects so the next step was following the blending options as instructed in the tutorial.

#25 Animated Button

For assignment 25 I had to create an animated glowing button. To do this I used the ellipse tool in Photoshop to create the button's shape. Then i changed its color overlay and drop shadow to make it black.I then duplicated it and made it smaller to fit inside the original circle. Then I added the noise and screen. Once i downloaded the power symbol i added it inside the shape, Then i edited the layer styles like said in the website except with green instead of red. To make it animated i selected the animation choice in the window panel. Then I followed the instructions once again. When everything was completed I selected the forever tab so the glowing effect can continually happen. Then I saved the file as a .psd and a GIF, which is a format that supports animated images.

#24 3D effect

   After choosing a background used the magnetic tool to cut out the gingerbread house from its original image then copied it to the snow background. Then I duplicated the layer and changed took away the blue and green effect. Then I clicked the first image and took off the red effect. After doing each I shifted the object to the right with the arrow key.

#23 Gingerbread House

    For assignment 23 I had to create a gingerbread house. Once I opened Google sketch-up, i began by creating a rectangle for the rectangle tool. Then I made a large triangle and used the push&pull tool to drag it across the house. Then to create different details like the lights and window I used different shape tools like the circle and rectangle tool. Again I used the Push&Pull tool to make the shape 3d. Finally i added color and exported both the front iso and back iso views. Doubling the canvas size and using ctrl+a,crtl+c,crtl+v, and ctrl+t I place both images side by side in photoshop.

22 Block Quiz

 For the block quiz I began by creating a 3' by 4' rectangle then using the push&pull tool made it 3d. Then i made a vertical line going down the side connected to a 4' line. I think connected that to the tip of the original rectangle and it made a triangle. Again using the pus&pull tool I made it 3d. I completed this on both 2' end of the original rectangle. The next step was similar except its width was 4'. Last step was to mark the dimensions and color the shape using the paint bucket tool.
