Quiz #17

Assignment #23 Ginger Bread House

In assignment #23, you simply copy a picture of a Ginger Bread House and draw it by using the basic shapes, the push and pull tool, and also the pencil tool. After you add the finishing touches by coloring it.

Assignment #24 Ginger Bread House (3D)

In assignment #24, you make the Ginger Bread House from assignment #23 3D. To do so, you first add a background such as this Christmas decorated table.Then you duplicate the layer of your Ginger Bread House and nudge them. Lastly, you go to your blending options and uncheck the G and B channels for the duplicated layer and only uncheck the R channel to get the figure above.

Assignment #25 Power Button

In assignment #25, the purpose is to make an animation button. to do so you simply draw the circles and use the blending options to add the effect to make the button look more 3D. Afterward, you incorporate the picture of the button over the circles, color it green, and make it glow by turning it into a GIF.

Quiz #25

What is a GIF? A GIF is the Graphic Interchange Format. It composed of images compressed to reduce transfer time.

How does animation work? Animation works by generating sequences of still images that give the illusion of motion through 3D space when you play them.

Assignment #26 (Test)

In order to get a 3D room, you first make a rectangle and mark it using rulers. Next you make smaller rectangles in each corner marking as well using the rulers. Then, you use the rectangle tool to drag out your rectangles. There will be a left wall, a right wall, the floor, the ceiling, and the middle. Lastly, you use blending options to create the 3D look.

The problems I encountered were creating the lights and making sure that the layer style was correct effects. Most problems were simply in following the directions so if there was an error, you have to go back and check the directions again.

Assignment #27

Assignment #27 concludes this course in Multimedia. This is similar to the business card i created at the beginning of this course, however as you can see, it is way more detailed and decribed. I simply created a brochure about my schedule with the descriptions, time and teachers on each period and a description of my daily routine to school such as how I get to school.
