Final Post

In Multimedia Design, I walked into this room the very first day not knowing how to do anything. I didn't know how to do Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Audacity, or Flash. I took this class because I knew it would be beneficient to me later on in life. At first, I thought I was going to do bad at these programs, but turn out I'm actually really good at this type of stuff.
Today, as my last day in this class, I'm going to walk out of this room knowing how to do so many different things. First, we learned how to use Illustrator which used Vector images. I learned how to make different shapes. Then for Photoshop that used Raster images. I learned how to manipulate photos. Next, we did Dreamweaver, we made a website which was pretty fun. It involved a lot of different steps, but it was cool to learn. After that we worked on Audacity. That was definitely one of my favorite projects. I enjoy mixing audio and experimenting with different sound effects. Finally, we did Flash, which was working with animation. That was defitinely the best in my opinion. Flash was difficult because if you did something wrong, then your motion wouldn't work correctly. As I'm doing this final post for blogger, I can say I was successful in Multimedia Design. -Goodbye

Flash: Motion Tween

To start off with my animation, I made a background with a pool and a diving board. Then I added another layer and called it, "person." I drew a person on top of the diving board. Then I went to the person layer and clicked frame 5 and inserted a key frame. Then i moved the person a little bit and went to frame 1 and clicked "insert motion tween." Then I repeated these steps every 5 frames, moving the person 1 by 1. After I got the person in the pool, I added another layer and called it "ball." I had a ball fly in and hit the person. Then the person falls into the pool and at the end it says, "ball wins."

FLASH: Shape Tween

For my animation, I changed the background to black. Then I added a text layer and typed my name. I added another layer and called it "shape 1." I made a circle and then made it look like pacman. I clicked on frame 10 under the shape layer and inserted a keyframe. Then I clicked on frame 10 in the text layer and inserted a keyframe. Then I went back to frame 10 under the shape layer, deleted my pacman, and added a bunch of circles. Then I went to frame 1 under my shape layer and selected "Create Shape Tween." Then I made 4 more different layers and called them Shape 2, 3...etc and repeated all of these steps. I changed the location of shapes and their colors. Finally, I added another text layer and put Epic and then it changed into Fail.

FLASH: Tutorial 1

For my animation, I changed the background color to black. I created 2 layers: text and shape. I clicked on the txt layer and typed "Multimedia Design" and changed the font of Vladimir Script and changed the color to yellow. Then I clicked on the shape layer and drew a yellow rectangle on the top left hand corner. I clicked on frame 25 under the shape layer and right clicked and chose "Insert Keyframe." Then I clicked on frame 25 under the text layer and right clicked and chose "Insert Keyframe." Then I went ack to frame 25 under the shape layer and delted the rectangle and then drew a light blue polystar on the top right corner of the stage. Then I clicked on frame 1 under the shape layer and right clicked and chose "Create Shape Tween." Finally, I tested my animation and the yellow rectangle moved acrossed the screen and changed into the blue polystar.

Audacity Mix

My topic was Hope. The songs that I chose for hope was "Yes We Can" by the Naked Brothers Band, "Only Hope" by Switchfoot, and "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson. I also used some instrumental versions: "Shine On" by Mathias Anderle and "Shark in the Water" by VV Brown. First, I started off with "Shine On" by Mathias Anderle then I faded it out and faded into "Yes We Can" by the Naked Brothers Band. Then I faded out and faded into "Shark in the Water" by VV Brown. After that I faded out and faded into "Only Hope" by Switchfoot. Next, I faded into "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson and then back to "Shark in the Water" by VV Brown. Finally, it goes into a cover of "Shark in the Water" by Huu and it ends with a sound of waves crashing. :)

Website Pages

These are my website pages. I chose this type of design because my favorite color is blue. The complimentary color of blue is orange. Then I love argyle, so that's why I made an argyle design on it. I picked the font Planet Benson 2 because it's a pretty epic font. It also looks like graffeti. To make the "Bio Page" I deleted my photo and logo on the home page. Then I put Bio and typed up my bio using another font. Then for the "Class Overview" page I used the "Bio Page" and put "Class Overview" in place of the word "Bio." Then I typed a paragraph. Finally, I did my "Projects Page" using my best Adobe Illustrator image, which was a flyer, and my best Adobe Photoshop image, which was my photo montage.

PHOTOSHOP: Photo Montage

First, I started off with a picture of Jaden and Willow Smith. Then I opened up a picture of me and re-sized the image. Next, I took my photo and added another layer to it, I could put it on Willow's head and erase the parts I didn't need. I put my head on Willow's head and it made it look like it was me all along. Then I got a picture of a beach. I saved Jaden and I picture as a JPEG and then I put our image in front of the beach. Then I got a picture of surfboard and put it in the sand. I blurred the bottom of the surfboard so it would look like the surfboard was actually in the sand. Then I found a picture of seashells in shape of a heart and put it in the sand. I had to add another layer and erase the other sand it was on because it was a different color sand. Next, I added a blue necklace and put it on Jaden because I had a white one necklace. Finally, I found "I heart Jaden and Danielle" shirts and put them on our shirts. I did that to make it more romantic and I thought it was a cute idea to do that. Then I blurred some things around us to make it look like were really standing there. Finally, I was left with Jaden and I on the beach.
