Lab 6 Editting Tools Reflection Journal

This is Lab 6 Editing Tools. In this lab we had to used 4 images that were giving to us and later on fix them with the tools that are in Adobe Photoshop 6CS, the software that we are currently using right now. In the first image I had to get rid of the sprinkler heads and of the bottom left of the picture. Using the Clone tool and  Spot Healing Brush tool. On the second image I had to erase the initials 'DJ' from the rocks with the Healing Brush and Patch Tool to erase the chips and holes on the sides of the rocks. For the third picture I had erase the horizontal wrinkles of this men's forehead with the Healing Brush, erase the wrinkles under his eyes with the Patch Tool. And with the same tool erase the wrinkle inside the glasses under the right eye, and inside and outside the glasses on the left eye. Lastly with the last picture I had to Replace the color of the top of the window with a different one, then use the Blur Tool to blur the left side of the window and the Sharpen Tool to the other side of the window. Then the Smudge Tool to mess up the tiles of the picture.

The objective of this lab was to learn how to fix pictures by using these tools. Whenever we feel like we don't like how something looks in a picture now we have to option to fix it. This is so relate to Visual Design since its all about finding new ways to fix things and work with creativity in our minds. I definitely see myself working with theses tools in the future with project, labs etc. And also outside school work since I like taking a lot of pictures. But lastly this is all I did and learned from Lab 6 editing Tools.
   

Hw Reflection Journal 11/16/15

My Present grade today in Jupiter Grades in my Visual Design class is 78.1%. My Best grade so far in this second marking period is 82% in my Earth Science Class. My Worst performance grade is in Visual Design, which I'm not very proud about it. What I'm Missing in this class is to complete a Homework called Creativity but its too late to do. And a Reflection Journal on a Trip I had, which I am going to complete as soon as possible. How I can do better is why Trying to summit all my work on time and paying more close attention.   

Lab 5 Filters Reflection Journal

This is Lab 5 and it was mainly about Filters. In this lab we were suppose to work with different Filters that's affect the change of a picture. What I did first was pick 2 different pictures. The first one was more about capturing a person's face, so I use a selfie picture of my little sister and the other picture was of my choice since it really didn't matter to capture anything. Later on I made 2 rows where in each row there was going to be 3 pictures. In the first row it was the first picture and continuing with others was the second picture duplicated 4 times making it 5. Using Adobe Photoshop 6CS as the software I am currently using to complete this lab.

The objective of this lab was mainly about using different lifters. Since once I had my pictures set I started working with the first one. In the first picture I apply Liquefy as a filter to the picture. It allow me to change the face of a person by messing up with  it . In the other 5 I apply other filters but that only change the view of how the original looked like. This is so relevant to Wed Design since we are Design the way of how pictures look. I see myself working with this tools in the future whenever I feel like changing the way a picture looks.

      

HW Notetaking

 How I take notes it pretty much by writing down the important information that I need to know in order to get my work done. In Visual Design unlike my other classes we sometimes take notes, not always. Since sometimes the things we need to do gets handed in to us in paper. However sometimes the things we need to do in order to get the work done its explain to us, that is when we got to take notes. When I take notes for Visual Design is pretty simple, I only write important or the things that are new to me. I write in a step by step from, so I know what to do first and what to do last so there is no confusion. This is pretty much how I take notes, its just my way on how I can understand and get my work done.

Pop Art Reflection Questions

Andy Warhol was an American artist as well someone who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. Warhol’s work was a relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. I would not buy Andy Warhol’s artwork to be honest because it just not my type of art. But don’t get me wrong, his work it’s really interesting and who doesn’t like pop art. His artwork reminds me a lot of Marilyn Monroe, since he got well known for that painting he did of her after she die. The association was type pleasant because Marilyn is a beautiful famous woman and the painting he did of her is one of my favorites that a like and it just captured this picture of her that’s makes it so fun and interesting.

Critics today have broken down high and low culture and an interest in popular culture,

which encompasses such diverse media as comic books, television, and the Internet. Now a Informed opinion is supported by facts while uninformed opinion is not this is how to tell the difference between them. As well as Taste, is a personal preference or liking and Bias, is a preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment. The formal aspects Andy Warhol used on his portraits were more like shape and color. But in a different ways unlike others artist would use it. Because he would capture someone and make it appear in different colors multiply times. And as well he would not make only portraits from photographs; he would also shot himself and use photographs from the media of other people. Portraits are important to us because it captured memories, someone that you love and would not look the same in 2 or 5 years, and it just expresses a lot of creativity. Artists have painted portraits throughout the ages to represent a person, in which the face is the main theme.

How I felt when making a Warhol portrait about myself was really cool, and fun because

I liked how I would turn out looking at the end of project. But at the same time hard and

stressful when doing the work. How I made my portrait was by using photo booth to take

my picture of myself and then opening it in Adobe Photoshop 6CS. Using the Quick

Selection Tool to select only myself and not the background. Then the Move tool to move the picture around after duplicating it 3 times and then using the Bucket tool to apply different color on picture of me to combine with the different colors that I apply in the background. In the future I can see myself using a lot to the Quick Selection tool now that I can manage it pretty well. This is My Warhol Portrait Project.
