W.B.L Workshop

Image result for my rightsA few weeks back I took part in  W.B.L.(Work Based Learning) Workshop about working as a young adolescent in high school. I was told about my rights, the dangers of working, how long I can work, and the protection  I have will working. I was unaware of most of the information taught because I have not yet worked for any business that was not family relative. apparently I have the right to be paid fairly for a day's worth of work. also the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour which will become $11 per hour in 2017. other rights include being payed for overtime, the right for a safe workplace, freedom of harassment and discrimination, and I have the right to address ways in which to improve working conditions. Then since I am still under aged I was told about the jobs which I cannot take apart of such as using power tools or mining coal. the most surprising rule told was that if I am a 16 year old in Florida I cannot wrestle an alligator; I mean why would anyone want to do that?

Next I was briefed on the amount hours I can work which vary in age and season. I am currently in the age group between 14 and 15; therefore, the amount of hours I can work while school is in session is 3 hours (obviously done after school has finished) and I can only work for 18 hours per week. then I am also given a curfew because I cannot work between the hours of 7pm and 7am. however, some of these numbers change when there is a school break or over the Summer. during those periods I can work up to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. the curfew is also pushed back to 9pm. Lastly I was told about OSHA( Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and how I have the right to know certain things about my workspace, that I should be properly trained, I can refuse unsafe work, and how I cannot be fired or refusing to do unsafe work.

Lab2: Editing Lancelot

Image
This is the second lab of this year and what we did was edit a picture of Lancelot using different adjustments. the main objective of this lab fro me was to experiment adjusting images in various ways so each one would have something unique about it but this lab has had something else in mind which was to teach us a new way to select an image which was to use edit in quick mask mode. the procedure of this lab was to first select Lancelot; however, we did not use edit in quick mask mode at first, we used whatever tool we wanted. the whole class soon realized how difficult it was to select Lancelot. then we learned about the magic of using edit in quick mask mode because we could then select most of Lancelot with ease without having the blue background ruining the image. After making sure that Lancelot was selected to the best of our abilities I had to make at least eight new layers using layer via copy but these Lancelots had to be smaller than the original Lancelot. this was done by sc

Project 3: Restore Old Photograph

Image
this project was the process of restoring a damaged photo only using the editing tools. the objective of this lab was to restore the photo to how it would be before all the damage; all the editing was to be done to the " best " of our ability. the way i completed the project was by using the various editing tools in photoshop such as the patch tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush tool, content awareness tool, and clone stamp tool. By using these tools in various ways you can get rid of most of the damage done over time. The tool i used the most was the healing brush tool and the spot healing brush tool because in my opinion worked the most efficient. Of course it wasn't perfect, if used too much it would just blur the image so it had to be used with caution. To me this was a very useful even though it is very difficult to become acustom to. It is also relevant in Web Design because in nature or anything there will be a flaw and so to be able to correct the flaw i
