Reflection Journal for Lab 2

I created many versions of the same dogs on the same image. The dogs had different effects for each one. I did the different effects by playing around with the brightness, lightness, contrast, and hue etc.

The objective of the lab was to make several versions of the same dog. Each one with its own effects. Also another objective may be practicing and perfecting our skills on selection of something in an image.

I made several copies of a dog by selecting it and make new layers via copying the selection. Then after making the copies, I applied different kinds of effects to them. Each one had its own. For example, there was an effect that was black and white, contrast, lightness, hue etc. I basically played with the lights and contrast of the overall image.

To do this I used a software called Photoshop. This lab is relevant to web design because web design is not just about websites or technology its more about creativity and how a website looks overall and what kind of feelings it gives to the viewer. This lab requires creativity and opinion on what looks best.In that way I think this lab is very relevant to web design in general. I'm going to use these skills in future labs.

Reflection Journal for Lab 3

For Lab 3, we copied images of a car and we changed it so it to have different effects. Each one of four had different effects. For example, changed Hue, saturation, replaced color, and black & white. The objective of the lab was most likely to get familiar with the Photoshop software by using effects that is provided by it. So the next time we know what hue, does or what saturation does. Not only do we know what effects are what but we also know how to apply a certain effect on the image. I did this project by using different tools in Photoshop and by using different effects on the car images. The software I used is called Photoshop. This is relevant to web design because it gets you to be more familiar with tools and effects in Photoshop. In web design, Photoshop skills are important because most of the websites are graphics and is what visually appeals to a visitor of the website. In that case getting used to Photoshop or learning Photoshop skills are very im...

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 4

In Lab 4, I basically created a collage like thing with a few pictures. The objective of the lab was most likely to explore and learn more about photography. For example, what makes a picture look good and what makes it look bad and how to improve on it etc. We took pictures at high points of view, Low points of view, eye level, close up etc. Later on we put those pictures together to kind of make a collage. To complete Lab 4, I used a software called Photoshop. Photoshop lets you manipulate pictures and lets you do a lot with just one picture. This is relevant to web design because it lets you become a photographer temporarily and it lets you see what looks good and what looks bad. You gain more experience with photos which most web designers are. These skills can be used to edit photos in the future.
