Logos&KISS&PSA

To create my logos in photoshop, I used layers and traced an outline of a tattoo with the pen tool for my flower. I added the gradient background for some color and text for my initials. KISS means Keep It Simple Stupid. It means not to make anything more difficult than what it should be if you will have the same outcome. I really was unsure about how my PSA should be until after I had recorded. The following day, previous PSA's were presented to us. I feel that these PSA's should not really be a big part of our grade considering it was our first time. I'm not just saying this because mine was horrible. I don't believe that I deserve more than a B- on this assignment. The only thing that was interesting were my pictures and even some of them made no sense. However, I loved making the music and given more time.. it would've been great. For the next PSA, I will be completely prepared with a good script and tone.

Bookmark and PSA

In the past two weeks, I've learned more about using new programs by creating a public service announcement and bookmark. The bookmark was less time consuming and way easier to make than the PSA. I learned how to change the size of the window, background colors, and more about layering in Adobe Photoshop while creating the bookmark. I also had no idea who was going to be Maid Silvia this year. Its interesting to see that people work so hard to make the Forest Festival so huge. Even a bookmark has an impact. I just finished my public service announcement today on career and technical schools. I learned how to make beats like Dr. Dre on a program called Garage Band. iMovie was another one I learned more about. It was a difficult task trying to get everything to flow together. I put my voice, music that I created, and pictures all together to make a movie. Garage Band is my favorite program and I hope we get to use it more.

PSA and Photoshop

I think Adobe Photoshop would be useful for many jobs. However, a photographer would probably use it more than most people. Covers of magazines, school yearbook pics, and many others are all enhanced by using some form of photo editing. I can use photoshop for my own pictures and projects in school. The program doesn't just have to be used for pictures. I've created different texts as well. PSA's or public service announcements are messages from people about a specific topic. They are used to persuade others to be for or against. The tagline in a PSA is the important phrase that gets the point across. Most PSA's are remembered for their taglines. You may not even believe you've seen or heard a PSA until you know what the tagline is.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop has been very difficult for me to figure out. There are so many different tools. At first I struggled, because the program is very overwhelming. However, the more that I use it, the better I become at putting the tools to use. Although, the face swapping was, without a doubt, the hardest thing I've ever done, I loved it after i figured it out. I could swap faces all day. Matching skin tones is pretty difficult though. The only thing I could suggest for the instructor is to not move as fast, but I understand that there are other things that need to be accomplished in the class, not just mastering Photoshop.

Harassment

harrassment--Have you ever been harrassed?--Have you ever harrassed someone? Do you think harrassment is a problem in schools? Explain--Should there be punishment for harrassment? If you say yes what should it be and if you say no why do you think that. Have you ever witnessed harrassment? If so, did you try to stop it and explain why or why not?

I have been harassed as well as harassed others. Although, there are times when harassment is mistaken for jokes.

believe it is a problem in school. Harassment is a crime and there should be punishment. I have witnessed

harassment in many situations. I have defended people in some situations, but not always.
