Essential Question 8

I like this photo because of the angle the sign is at and the way the sun shines through the trees onto the sign.

I like this photo because of color of the flower and how focused the flower is and unfocused the grass in the background is. 

Essential Question 7

To start a company you would need to make a plan for what you are going to sell, where you're going to sell it, how you're going to make it, where you're going to make, who is going to make it, how much you're going to sell it for, how you're going to advertise it, how much funds it will take to start, where or how you're going to get the funds, and if you're product is approved and legal. You should make many "rough draft" plans before you have a finalized plan and are ready to start.

This photo is originally two separate photos; the bee is added on. To put this bee onto these flowers I used the magic wand tool to select like pixels. Once I selected the bee I copy and pasted it onto the flower photo on a new layer. I had selected a little bit more than the bee, so using the eraser tool I erased the extra, staying on the bee's layer and not the flowers. After I cleaned the bee up I changed his size and position using free transform. While using free transform I held in the shift button to make sure not to distort the bee any. I changed the image width to four inches by selecting image, image size and typing in a 4 in the width box. After editing the photo I selected save for web under the file tab and saved the photo as a jpeg so I would be able to upload it to the internet. 

Essential Question 6

My favorite activity we have completed so far in Digital Imaging is the Forest Festival bookmarks. We were given two bookmark templates to start with; one landscape and one portrait. To make mine I choose the landscape template. I used the gradient tool to fade purple into green for the background. Then I downloaded three photos; one of Maid Silvia and one of each of the Maids of Honor. I also downloaded the Forest Festival logo. Once I downloaded theses items I opened them in photo shop and used the cutting and feathering tools to place them onto my bookmark. After inserting the photos and logo I played with the many fonts and colors to display the title and maids' name. As a finishing touch I used the paint brush and chose the leaf brush to print fall leafs around the photos. When finished I printed the front and back out, cut them, and taped them together.

Essential Question 5

The KISS theory is "Keep It Simple Stupid". This theory is important to remember when designing logos because you want the logo to be easy to understand, easily printable, non-space consuming, and eye catching.

Essential Question 4

Illustrator, in my opinion was better for creating logos than photoshop. There were lots of images that were easy to insert with the spray paint tool. Also there were a lot of ways to set the text, including the path and vertical path tool. I found it easier to add effects to my logo.

Essential Question 3

The DPI for photos going on the web is 72, so they are not too big and become pixelated. The DPI for photos being printed is 300 so that they are large enough and in proportion with the paper.  These week I learned how to use the paint brush on photoshop. Also, I learned how to use the feathering and the elliptical tool.
