Visual Design Journal by Khademul Mahin

    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...

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...

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 T...

             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.
