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.
