Commtech Post

This week in commtech I learned a lot about adobe photoshop elements, I learned how to resize photos to the right size, how to layer pictures, put pictures on top of text and vice versa. I also took A LOT of pictures this week, and used them in the 5 different assignments we had to do, in the first assignemnt we had to take 3 photos and use any filters to make them look cool. In the second assignemnt we had to take 3 photos and change the brightness/contrast/hue and levels to them. In the third assignment we had to take 2 photos and use the clone tool to take something out of each picture and put something back into each picture. in the fourth assignment we had to take 2 photos and select an object using the lasso tool. we them had to select inverse them so that just the background is selected. Then we had to blue the abckground to make the object stand out. The final assignment was the portrait assignment. We had to make a custom background fo whatever we wanted. we then had to copy a picture of ourselves into it, and then we had to copy another pciture into the picture but it had to make sense, and it had to flow with the picture. And then today we had to make a picture come into the text, with a colourful background behind it.

Yearbook Post

This week in yearbook I learned alot about indesign. I learned how to put text over pictures and vice versa. I also learned a lot about strokes, and how to put different corners on text. I learned how to put drop shadow on text and pcitures, and make it look really cool. We also had a quiz on key terms, like pixel, megapixel, and kilobyte. I also sold yearbooks for 3 or 4 days. I also played tribes a lot and got caught by Mr. Wrigley, that's why I have to sit at the front of the class:(

This week in comtmech I learned a lot of stuff about Adobe Photoshop Elements. I learned how to lasso, clone, shade, dodge, burn, and many other techniques. The photo to the right is a small sample of my knowledge in the program.

Intro to Communications Technology:

My objective for taking this course is to learn more about designing pictures, and changing them.This Semester I want to work on designing layouts, and possibly the cover for yearbook.Some skills I would want to obtain would be to do my work exceptionally well and not having to ask the teachers help. In my future career I want to get into graphic designing somehow, it's been an interest of mine for a long time now.
