Lab9/Project 5: Brochure


 In this lab/project the objective was to create our own brochure for Respect For All week. To complete this activity we used Adobe InDesign CS6 with the page layout as brochure and have three margins to create a trifold brochure. the topic i chose to write about was world peace because there are a lot of conflict and hatred in this world. The first step was to make an outline of what we wanted our brochure layout to be; no images or text just a very basic design layout. Then we create the digital version of the layout which was just putting text boxes and place holders all around the brochure in the places we wanted the text and images to be. although it wasn't stated we had to research about the topic, i went ahead a did some research about world peace from different sources to see how people viewed it and it gave me ideas of what to write about. however a brochure cannot be just text because the reader will become uninterested; therefore we had to incorporate images to make the brochure become more lively. All the images I included were related to world piece but also related to the text that was next to it. the mot obvious image I included was an outline of the world that took up less than half the whole second page(inside of the brochure). I wanted the brochure to be more lively and not just educational, so the colors I used also incorporated that idea; the blue background makes the white text stand out even more than if it was just black and white. this project/ lab is relevant to web design because we had to use topography in order to create ab educational and intriguing brochure. a which i see myself using these skills in the future is when we have to do the newspaper because that will also include topography and it has a similar purpose to that of this brochure.

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
