Showcase Room

This was the last assignment of Multimedia class. It required that I create a 3D showroom to showcase myself. It took me several tries to get the lights working, and the room itself didn't really conform to the guide. The lights were the hardest to me, because sometimes the elliptical tool did not want to work, and I had to be careful of the opacity and position of the spotlights. I had a classmate take three photos of me, the front, side, and back views, and I arranged them under the spotlights. I also erased the backgrounds and had to use the smudge tool to smooth out some eraser bumps. 

Power Button Animation

For this assignment, I had to create an image of a power button. I used different filters and blending options to create the glowing button and the aluminum effect to give the button a more realistic look. After adding the power button image, I then created the "green glow" of the button on a duplicate copy. After both buttons were saved, I created the animation where the button is continuously turning on and off. This assignment was difficult, and I had to try several times to get the power button image right. I recommend asking someone who is already a master of Photoshop for guidance if you're stuck.

3D Effect Bungalow

In this assignment, I created a 3D effect on my bungalow by using three layers, one being the grassy background, another one being the bungalow, and the last a copy of the bungalow layer. The original bungalow layer retains the 'G' and 'B' on the blending options, but the copy retains the 'R' blending option. After using the 'Magic Wand' tool to remove the background of the bungalow, we can see the bungalow on the grassy field. After moving the copy slightly to the right, the 3D image has been created. Now all that is needed are a pair of 3D glasses!

Bungalow

This bungalow project was assigned last week and was the bane of my existence. It required the use of many rectangles and the push/pull button. All the lines had to be hand measured because the Measuring-tool did not cooperate. I had a hard time choosing the color of everything, especially the walls. In the end, I made a log cabin not a beach bungalow.

Block Quiz

This was actually a quiz to see if we could use what we learned to create a block with a rounded shape. It was extremely frustrating to do this block because it required circles and the meticulous use of the 'delete' button.

20 A, B, C: 2D Shapes, 3D Shapes, My Name

For this assignment, I used Google Sketch for the first time. The objective was to play around with the many buttons and programs on Google Sketch to create 2D shapes and 3D shapes on a 2D axis. Also, I had to write out my name and make it 3D. The process was frustrating and a little time consuming, considering that the line tool doesn't do what I want it to.
