CTE Expo Reflection Journal

The CTE Expo is where freshman come to visit and decide on which CTE Academy to chose, and sophomores, juniors, seniors present their projects to the freshmen. By doing this the freshmen get an idea of how it'll be once they choose to join that academy and also get an idea of what they can hope to accomplish.

The CTE Expo is important because not only does it benefit the freshmen but also the people presenting. It can benefit the freshmen because they can decide on which academy to choose and it can benefit the presenters because they can learn social skills and handshakes. Its an experience that is highly educational, it may not be academic but it is definitely educational and important.

During the CTE Expo 2017 the freshmen got to see what others were doing in visual design and video academies. The thing that went wrong was that the freshmen don't listen, we can improve it by shaking hands or relate to them in some way to make yourself more friendly and inviting, then they might listen. It went right when I did what I am supposed to which is to present to them and shaking hands. It will continue to go well if I treat them with respect and kindness.

The CTE Expo can help me and my classmates because it helps us learn how to socialize and communicate effectively. Learning to communicate and socialize is very important in my opinion. This can go a long way maybe even far into the future when you have to present something and you remember how to socialize effectively and be more convincing.

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.
