Newsletter Project


this is the final project of the year and we had to create a class newsletter. in actuality we had groups and each group had to make their own newsletter and in the end a separate group of chief editors is supposed to create a collaborate newsletter with each groups miniature newsletter. the objective of his lab was to create a class newsletter that incorporates each individual newsletter. my group consisted of three people, including myself, and each person had their specific role. but before this project even began, each group member wrote an article and depending on what we wrote about is how we were divided in groups. anyway my role in this project was to create the ads and my article, it was done but I wanted to improve on it even more. Tenzin, another member of the group, worked on the cover and game section of the newspaper and Jason worked on creating a new article because we had overlapping article about el clasico which we couldn't have. for my part of the project specifically the improvement of my article, I redesigned the layout of the article so it would fit on two pages(one spread) which meant resizing the images and text so it would fit proportionally with the page. the ads had to be done originally so I couldn't just copy off of the internet. therefore I just created a parody of a an ad because it's not plagiarizing, technically. I took a nike( logo and slogan) and the new Samsung ad and just modified them. for the nike ad I changed the logo to some weird check mark and instead of the slogan being " just do it" it turned to "just do it.... tomorrow". the same method was done except there was no logo to change. afterwards each of us combined each part on one computer and turned to the end product shown below.
as far as this project being relevant to Web Design it is actually very important because this newsletter had to be designed for scratch and was designed with by the group and not just copied from the internet. not only that but this project also involved collaboration, so one person had to hold up on his part or else the newsletter would've been incomplete. I see myself using these skills in the future when we are designing our own webpages and no just using a template form the internet.

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
