Lab #5 Reflection

-
    In this lab we had to remake our picture in photoshop. Recently we made a picture that we drew and was hand made. Our skills were put to the test. This lab was all about using only different options referring to the paintbrush tool. My picture was a sunset that I had drew at home. I didn't think it was going to be easy though it wasn't going to be too hard either. Upon starting my head was going to explode into 5,000,000 pieces. It was super hard until I stopped to think... Wait it doesn't have to be exactly the same but it was suppose to be similar to it. Here is my final result!

    In this lab I used the paintbrush tool into making my picture even better then it was drawn. I used different paint colors and different modes for different aspects of the picture like brown and then color burning the brown. I then color burned it again to make an even darker brown for the top of the clouds. The sun was pretty straightforward. I used yellow on the edges of the sun to make a ray of light through the sky and to reflect on the water as well as an orange color. I tried my best for making the waves of the water using a brush as well but it wasn't easy. I don't see how it could be better. Looked myself at the waves and thought it looked rushed but others thought it was ok. I then started making some adjustments to it and it started looking better. I am still unsure if it looks ok. Other then that I feel my lab was a great success. These photoshop skills are important for a web designer so they can manually edit pictures using a paintbrush and have full customization over a picture.

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

-
This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
