Through consideration and nostalgia for outdoor wilderness activity, I’ve found that it’s trying to remember some key details about preparing for the troubles and mysteries of a new adventure. In today’s society and stances on common sense, not many have a decent idea of what needs to happen when something goes wrong. The Scouting Handbook […]

Here, I decided to grab a picture of Sean McGloughlin (Jacksepticeye) for Lab 1. I had a great time making these, even if they were a bit extensive. I learned more about the Mixer Brush tool than I thought I ever would, mostly because I don’t deal with much digital art that requires it. However, […]

Even after using Illustrator in Intro to Digital Media, I could not have been more unprepared to work with the pen tool, but luckily the directions were available on the template itself. I found it easy to keep up with the directions and successfully draw the shapes I needed to. I’m happy I could understand […]

After using Blender haphazardly about a year ago, it was fun to come back and learn new skills in making 3D objects in the program, such as extending the cylinder that I was using and scaling its components. I thought it was easy to recognize the 3D view controls, in addition to repositioning the camera. […]

Finally! A brick rose! For this lab, I learned a few skills that let me take pictures from a foreground image and apply them to different backgrounds. I also learned how to use shapes from other layers to form easy pattern designs out of background images. Here, the magnetic lasso tool was used on the […]

Here is the textured fill layer and gradient layer of my Lab 4. I figured I should include the gradient layer simply because the gradient shape didn’t export to jpeg very well, and I love gradients regardless. I learned how to create a new texture with the offset and clone stamp features, and I figure […]

Although the construction of the card is relatively easy, I soon learned that the separation of the front of the card and the back of the card in separate artboards would prove to be difficult, as it’s somewhat unclear as to what needed to be done for both artboards to show up in the final […]

Upon creating these images, I hoped to see some sort of difference between the default coloration and the gamut-decreased version but learned that there was “not much” for Photoshop to change. The gamut difference didn’t prove to be much here, either. I wish I’d known how vibrant Photoshop considers pixels in order for gamut reduction […]

These images of my water bottle are both taken from my phone, but the first of the two was taken with the phone’s selfie camera. My biggest note of the difference between the two shots is that the sharpness is much greater in the front camera, where the selfie camera feels softer, and doesn’t differentiate […]
