The MET Reflection Journal

  On Friday the 17th, me and my classmates went on a trip to the metropolitan museum of art. We saw different forms of art, different materials used in each masterpiece, different meanings behind the masterpiece etc. I learned that art is a message. Art can just look like art but it can also contain a message for you to understand, A message that is worth sharing with others. These messages can be something very simple but sometimes very complex. Its hard to figure out what the message is, but that is the fun of it all. Looking at art is very different for me now, because going to the museum changed my perspective on art. Before I would look at art as something beautiful and only good artist can make it look beautiful, but now while it still is something beautiful it is also something that conveys a message to the gazer.


  I can be more creative, going to the museum gave me ideas, which I most likely would never think of before, my perspective has changed on art and now I can apply this to visual design. Design is something important in my class and I can apply what I learned by understanding that everything, every design has meaning behind it. The design should be relative to the message that I am trying to convey. The only thing that I didn't like going to the museum is that we stayed for too long and I was getting tired. Other than that everything was great. My favorite part at the museum was when I was gazing at a painting that looked like a child painted it, because its interesting that something like that can still convey a message. My least favorite part was when we were walking around art because we weren't standing still and figuring things out, we were just moving on. I don't think I would go to the museum again but I would definitely invite someone else to enjoy the experience.

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.
