Digital Design Final

This was a really fun class. I learned about a lot of cool online programs, although I wish we got to learn more about photoshop.

This is a Glog I created with some things that I like, including: books, movies, music, and video games.

Lightsaber Project

This was a fun project to do. Every young boy wanted to be a Jedi when he first saw the Star Wars films. Although, this would be a painstakingly long series of steps if one were to do this for every frame in a scene.

Edulaunch Brushes

I found that the pen tool is very difficult to learn. I used it to create the shape of the rainbow, but it is a little bit misshapen. I also free-handed the trunk of the tree, using different leaf brushes for the leaves.

For this second picture, I free-handed the mountain and hills while adding some color. I then used tree-shaped brushes in varying sizes and colors to create a sense of depth.

Go Animate!

Go! Animate is a cool, quick video making software that uses artificial voices to tell your own story. The quick video makers are not very flexible, but the full length interface allows for a lot more customization. It's another one of those potentially great, free websites that makes me curious what can be done using it.

Picmonkey

I used this picture of the student next to me (D-man) and turned him into a zombie. At first, I dyed his skin with the demon colorations and then zombulated half of his skin. I added plenty of blood splatters and some blood spills/trickles. I also placed a zombie virus glow around his mouth and eyes.

Picmonkey was a fun site to use, but I don't know if it can go as in depth as photoshop. It was definitely easier to use than photoshop, but it didn't have as much customization. For a quick, fun photo editor, use picmonkey; but if you need something more professional and in depth, I'd use photoshop.

Alien Halloween Project

I used the clone stamp tool to create duplicate eyes and color replacement to change the color of my skin and hair. Using the liquefy filter, I changed the shape of my nose and eyebrows. I formed the horn-like shapes with the smudge tool. I also placed lens flares on my eyes.
