  Reflection:  In this marking period I believe I learned a lot. This is largely due me spending time understand 21st ed more than ever. I think for next marking period, I should attempt to stay ahead of the class and do the projects in class. This is largely due the fact I can not do anything within Photoshop at home. Overall, I believe it was a productive marking period. 

  By starting with the desktop view and making a flyer, I was able to change the artboard shape and simply move the layers around to still fit into frame. 

 Opacity as you can see  fades everything away. Unlike fill which keeps something like a drop shadow at full opacity. Opacity can be used to blend two images while fill seems to be better for text and whatnot. 

  Duplicated the layer, then would create folders to organize them. I then would make linked images. After words I would flatten and merge different layers.  The first layer would a pixel based player, more specifically, a shape based layer. The next two are adjustment layers. Finally the bottom layer is a text layer. 

Made swatches, gradient, custom brush, and then the three shapes. I then created a pattern and would apply it onto the image. 

 

 

Dibboraj Biswas Ms. Wang Multimedia 3 March 2025 The Starry Night’s Deep Dive The Starry Night, painted by the renowned Vincent van Gogh, has through its life boomed in popularity. Being painted in 1889, it has proven to us that it is a timeless piece that, as far as we can see, is not going anywhere any time soon. This is prevalent by how it has continued to attract and bring attention to itself for over two centuries from all over the world. As it is today, the painting is here in New York, which I found quite surprising. Infact, as it is, the painting rests itself in the Museum of Modern Art. At face value, I really like the artist and unique style of the painting that I have yet to be replicated in the timeless classic of the Starry Night. Where the painting really stands out is the stars, moon, and clouds. The stars really bring alive this painting and what the painter, Gogh. saw not only the city but possibly even his future. The swirling clouds for me show leading line and how h...

Video, Shantanu Kumar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxUwE9pvrhs&ab_channel=ShantanuKumar Do you work in a team? No they do this by themselves. Who do you work under? They work as a freelancer providing their graphic expertise for others to buy and for them to create. When do you wake up? Being a graphic designer and a freelancer at that, Kumar strictly wakes up at 10. What hardware do you use? They are equipped with two main tools, a Microsoft Surface Book 2 being his main tool and a stylus pen. How do you manage the workload? By setting up due dates at the end of day, they push themselves to creating something they are proud of and are able to give to the buyer. How do you communicate to the buyer and understand the audience? They start of by creating many rough sketches and then creating a logo or design based around that. They then tweak the final design based on the customer. Can you tell me how you plan for the final result? Through a large session of brainstorming ideas on...

  I learned a lot through using Photoshop in just one marking period. I learned the foundation and now as we progress forward, have been learning the smaller things that lead to very complex designs. Another major thing I learned was how to use text and how to clip images in them to make them more visually distinct. One thing I could improve on for next marking period was making sure I put all the images in their appropriate place in both google classroom and google drive. One glow would be my determination to creating a result that I can proudly claim as mine. 

  The subject of this poster is Charmander. The slogan I used for this poster is flamethrower as it is one of the moves the pokemon can use. I had 9 layers in total. The first being the background which I would change to a reddish pink. After that cam my name. Then comes Charmander which I made 3 copies of. The first one is in the back, the second being a yellow and finally a red Charmander. Both the red and yellow used the overlay with 80% effect. Finally the flamethrower layer came in on the right side which was altered to be on surrounding the subject. 

  For this project I took a background wallpaper from google. I then took that background photo and made sure it fit the frame of the Iphone 13 mini. Finally I made the tex t groovy and made sure the overlapping parts are invisible. 

Graphic Layer 1= The space background, I took it from Google and would make it darker than the original.  Layer 2= The earth image had to be masked to remove the background Lay 3= Then I added an eclipse to make a circle around the Earth to filter it and change the look of the Earth further.  Text Layer 4= Added a vertical text layer to the side of the earth.  Layer 5= Then I added a cloud image inside the text.  Overall design reflection: (which text method did you use for your flyer screenshot of your final design. I placed an image inside the text to give it more flare and stand out more.
