This is a project I did in physics about how forces effect the bus and people.
This project was about the immigration of Japanese and why they wanted to come to America.
This is my Quarter 2 project for image editing in Media. This image is about going to your safe haven when feeling lost, depressed, or anby bad feeling.
My project is about the place of tranquility and finding your happy place. My goals are to show people the different kinds of places people’s mind go to when they need to think or go to a place of peace. What I hoped to learn is a way to expand on my artistic knowledge.
The process I used to make my image was on pixlr editor. With pixlr it gives you over thirty different ways to edit a picture and make it the way you want it. I started off with my background and use five different effects to make the picture brighter in the middle and darker on the outside. I then cropped the picture of my girl so she is in the middle by herself.
There were more failures than successes because I wasn’t able to edit the picture and make it the way I wanted. For some reason I couldn’t get rid of the background so it messed up my whole photo. I really didn’t overcame my failures I wish I could get over it.
I learned new ways of enhancing pictures and different names of effects like vignette, color balance, exposure, and gaussian. I learned you can make a picture look lighter using the sponge and do the lasso effect which is outlining a specific area of a picture.
What I learned about myself is that I’m not good with time consumption and I am easily distracted.
What I would do differently if I were to do this project all over again is have a clearer meaning of my picture and also get rid of all distractions. One tip I would tell people is to Use your time wisely.
This project has inspired me to find different ways on making pictures look more unique. It also inspired me to try to expand on image editing itself. Or even try something more advanced like graph editing or computer science. My only source with this project was pixlr.
The message I tried to convey with my picture is a place of tranquility and peace. Something like a safe haven.
For this quarter I decided to do graphic design this time and I decided to do “The mask” which basically is the mask that hides your true feelings. So the mask is happy and behind it is a little girl crying. So the mask is showing everyone fake happiness when really underneath the girl is unstable. My goal was to have my final cut out done way before the last checkpoint which I achieved.
To do my project I first found a copyright image off of google and downloaded it. I then used pixlr editor to edit the image where it focuses on the little girl crying. Next I downloaded on another image of a mask with a smiley face. I used pixlr to cut out the face of the mask so it fits on the little girl’s face. I cut out the eyes so you can see the girl crying behind the mask.
My successes was the project itself. I feel like I did a really good job on it and I took time to do it. But my failure would be the cut out of the mask. It wasn’t accurate or neat enough for my liking. I overcame it by just reminding myself that everything won’t be perfect.
I learned that if I put my mind to something I can actually get it done and it can be something good.
I learned that if I put my mind to something I can get it done on time and efficiently. I don’t think I would do this project different because I really liked it a lot. It inspired me to do another graphic design project because they’re really fun to do. I don’t really have any citations for this project except the pixlr.com website. The pixlr tool didn’t really help or hinder my project because I feel like you can do this on any editing website.
