What does GIF, JPEG, PNG, Raw, and TIF all mean?

GIF- The acronym GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. It is a file format that supports both animated and static images. Keep this in mind, Its a picture file format and not a video file format even though it seems like its moving.

JPEG- JPEG is a picture file format that is very famous.It stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.Now, JPEG is popular in photography industry because its a picture file format which can compress the image into a smaller sized file.

PNG- PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics.This file type is like JPEG, It compresses images. Also, PNG files can compress 10 to 30 percent more than GIF files.

Raw- Raw is an image file type that stores information from a camera like for example, ISO, Aperture, Contrast, and Exposure etc. However this file type cannot be printed or shared since it doesn't compress the image like JPEG, GIF, and PNG does.Raw just means its a raw image directly from a camera.

TIFF- The TIFF file type is a picture format file type like JPEG.However, it leaves images in a much larger sized file than JPEG or PNG since it can be both compressed and uncompressed. TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format.

Blending Images

This particular blending images technique enhances the overall design of the medium by using different colors which relates to the name of the medium itself since colors are related to art. The design of the text is important as well since it shows creativity and enhances the overall design even more. The following text filled with image technique enhances its overall design by blending the image within the text unlike the example on top. It also enhances the design by using and image that is related to the text since an image of water is related to the text "water".

Windows 10 vs Mac Sierra

There are many differences between mac and windows. The main difference is the user interface. For example, In mac OS there is a dock and in windows there is the task bar. The two look very different in terms of design. Also, Most software are built to run on windows and so mac OS is limited to the software it can run but that doesn't mean mac cant do anything, It can, its just that some software don't run on mac OS. The user experience for the both are great and overall they are just operating systems. Not a big deal.

Reflection Journal for Lab 7

In lab 7, I used different kinds of filters on the same photo 6 times. The objective of the lab was most likely to see what each kind of filter does to a picture. To do this lab I created 5 copies of the same photo and used 1 different photo on the top right. On each photo I used 6 different types of filters, Artistic, Sketch, Blur, Distort, Liquify, and Diffuse filter. I added clouds in the background and lens flare. I used a software called Photoshop to complete this lab. This lab is relevant to web design because it shows you what different filters do. But in general, the key thing that I learned is to try different things since it can give you different and sometimes better results. In design, trying new things is important. Sticking to the same thing all the time makes it boring. I will use these skills in the future when I want to apply a certain filter to a certain photo.
