Rubber Stamp

This is my rubber stamp that I made using Fireworks. This is a great example of yet another thing you can create or design with this program. When you print this stamp, it actually looks almost real!

Image Inside Text

This is my name that i designed in Fireworks by adding an image inside the lettering. I think it looks really cool!

Glass Text

This is some text that I created and gave that glassy appearance to, using the program Fireworks. This program proves to be fairly easy to use so far.

T-shirt Logo

This is my logo that I created for a design for a t-shirt.

Convex Logo

This is my convex logo that I created, courtesy of the great program, Inkscape! With this logo, I made a few layers that I played around with as well as the gradient tool.

Boolean Operations

These are just three examples of the different operations that you can create as different paths in the program Inkscape.

Text to Path

This is just some text that I edited with Inkscape. First you draw a path and then you can drape the text across the path so that it follows the path.

Tribal Logo

This is my flower that I created as my 'tribal logo', that follows along with the tribal logo tutorial I watched. I actually just created one petal and then duplicated it. The stem was a little difficult, but I wanted it to look unique.

Personal Logo

This is my personal logo that I created, courtesy of Inkscape. I am really starting to enjoy this program, and it's probably one of my favorite programs that we've explored in this class. I used dynamic offset and different shapes and colors to design my own logo. I love patriotism so I decided to use an American theme.

Funky Text

This is an example of a simple thing that you are able to do with Inkscape. This program is fairly easy and can provide great results!

Symes

These are just two of the different views of my model of the hotel, Symes, that I created in SketchUp. Although sort of difficult with the many angles and various designs, it is much less complicated to get your way around SketchUp once you have become more familiar with the variety of buttons and tasks that can be done with this program.

Dream House

FRONT

















This is a 2-D graphic of the front of my dream house. When you scroll in, you can see more detail such as the white trim on the doorway and windows. I added a stone walkway as well as some small hills so the landscape isn't so flat and boring. I gave it some color by putting an interesting type of grass as my vegetation.





BACK

















This is another 2-D graphic of my dream house, except it's from the view of the back. I added some potted tulips to the sides of the back door for a bright yet simple look.

Subtractive Chair

This is my subtractive chair that I also created using Google Sketch-up.

Additive Chair

This is my additive chair that I made using Google Sketch-up.

Texture Edit

With this texture edit, you can take the texture of any object and add it as the texture of your hair or face or anything. It can make you look as though your face is peeling or decaying!

Final GIF Review

Advanced Pop Art

This is an example of a more advanced pop art edit. While I colored the appropriate colors again, I also gave it a 'newsprint' filter which causes the small dots to appear. This gives it the look of a pictures from a newspaper. When coloring your picture, you are not limited to making the colors exactly as they are in real life (such as hair-if your hair's brown, you can change it to blond) but instead you are allowed to mess around and play with a whole selection.

Hands and Eyes

This is a funny edit where I used two pictures and took my eyes from one and pasted it on this picture. It's pretty simple to do this and the results are funny and bizarre!

Our Motion Shots

Using GIMP, I animated my series of motion shots of Hannah and I dancing. It's fun to be able to make it be more like a video and being able to alter how fast it goes!

GIF

This is a color cycle that I did of myself in GIMP. I had to make many different layers and color each one differently to give it this fun and colorful look. It allows you to make a variety of colors, letting you adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness.

Pop Art

This is a very edited picture of myself. It's moderately simple to add and alter different effects to ones picture through the Gimp program.

Foto Flexer

In this specific picture of Hannah and I, I cropped it because it was slightly off centered so I took off the extra that wasn't needed. I then used a neon setting that really emphasized Hannah's hair and my glasses.

I took this picture of Aubrey, Hannah, and Mr. Herbert taking pictures of their own. It was taken on a very low exposure so the first thing I did was change the lightness of the photo. Next, I touched up the saturation just a little. Finally, I added the sepia effect to give it a more unique appearance.

I like this funny picture of Hannah and I dancing. This was our action one so we were just goofing around and being dumb. I didn't really change much about this photo except touch up the saturation and hue.

I took this picture of a chain and added a "heat map" setting which presents the picture in a very unnatural look. It's exotic, but pretty interesting at the same time.

Manual Settings

These are a few pictures that I took with the digital camera on the super macro setting. Not only does this setting allow me to take very close up pictures, but it totally changes the focus on the camera to provide a much better quality look. This avoids the blur and light given from a flash when snapping a shot and instead produces a much more interesting picture with lots of detail.

I like this collage that I made to show the difference between a high exposure setting as well as a low exposure setting. I appreciate how the camera allows the photographer to choose which setting is best for the surroundings. One could also choose the opposite setting than what is recommended for a unique and original appearance. If you are in a very bright area, you can set it to a lower exposure so the picture will not appear as bright. For dark surroundings, you may make use of higher setting to allow more light to be provided by the camera in the picture.

The ISO setting decides whether the picture being taken is in a higher sensitivity or a lower one. The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed in an exposure. I enjoy being able to choose if I think the scenery will need a much higher or a more lower ISO. The lower the number you choose, the less "noise" you will have which is more appealing in a picture.

In these drive mode pictures, I took one of me just standing still. Then, leaving the camera still propped up on the playground stucture, I told Hannah to come dance with me. It was quite windy outside, as you can tell. I like this setting because it allows you to take self-portraits for a time that no one is their to take it for you.

I really like this collage of my sepia and black and white shots. I think that the reddish color really brings out these photos. The sepia is actually one of my favorite settings overall. It gives pictures the perfect vintage look.

Browser Comparison

There are quite a few features of Flock that can be found unique. Flock contains no extensions other than the default. It also is able to run for significantly longer periods of time without causing any problems than most of the other browsers. This browser is also recognized for being not only fast, but consistently quick, as other web browsers tend to slow down after awhile.

I appreciate the setup of Flock and how it is easy to access all the different things, and still providing quick service. It's pretty convenient for having lots of tabs opened, and it is designed in a simple set up.

There are various views on the different browsers, but I think I still prefer Internet Explorer to the rest. While many of the others may have a little faster service, I still have become accustomed to how Internet Explorer works. The design is more familiar to me, but maybe I should start trying something new because I wouldn't mind getting things done more quickly and a setup that is more convenient and allows me to access things easier.
