Reflection Journal for Lab 6

For Lab 6, I used vector shapes to remake a drawing that I have done. Vector shapes can replicate a lot of things in a simpler version, which is shapes. There are a wide variety of vector shapes to choose from to match my needs. I used grass shapes to replicate the grass in my drawing and tree bark texture shapes to color the tree in and outlined it with the line shape. To do the clouds in my drawing, I used the eclipse shape and so on. The objective of this lab was most likely to recreate a drawing but only with shapes. I used Photoshop (a photo editing software) to do this.

This lab is related to web design because it relates to general designing. I used a lot of different shapes to create a drawing. That is directly relating to design in general, and web design requires a lot of designing to do. That is why it is called web design in the first place.I will most likely use these skills when I draw something on paper but i want to improve it digitally.

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".

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.

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.
