07/10/22 Photoshop Work

In today's lesson, we were learning how to use Adobe Photoshop.

To begin the day, we were given the task of removing the pan from this picture, and re-filling in the background, to make it look like he was never there. To do this, we had to look at multiple different images of the area that we had downloaded on Adobe Bridge, and take pieces of those images, to replace the missing parts of the original picture. This was made more difficult, by the fact that none of the other images were taken at the same angle as the original picture, so we had to adjust the pieces that we were taking, to properly fit our picture.


We also had to learn and use some new tools, such as the Rectangular Marquee and Smudge tools, to edit our images to make them look as realistic as possible, and as accurate to the other images of the building as we possibly could.
Later in the day, we got to play around with the techniques that we had learnt to make it look like there was a nuclear bomb going off in a place of our choice. This allowed us to practice some more of what we had been learning, and improve on our skills. For my image, I had to use the rectangle tool to select an area that I wanted to cover the bomb smoke, but that you could see it behind, and use that area to create a new clipboard, where I then used the Eraser tool, to cut around different parts of the tree, shrubs, and buildings, so that you can see the bomb smoke behind it.




Later on in the afternoon, we had to use the skills that we had progressed during the day, to create this image. To do this, we firstly had to cut out the man from one image of a busy train station, and edit him in a new clipboard, to make him have a black and white effect on him, and then move him onto the image of the road. We then had to edit his size, so that he was in proportion to the rest of the image.
We then had to create a shadow for the man, by creating a copy of him, and rotating it to be a realistic-looking angle, and shrinking it using the Free Transform option, to make the shadow in proportion to both the man, and the rest of the people and objects within the image. I then had to change the look of this layer, by adjusting the brightness/contrast options, to make it have no details from the original man's image, and blend in as if it was a real shadow in the background of the final image.

07/12/23 - HTML And Figma Alterations

Image
In today's lesson, we covered a more in depth overview of  the HTML coding language as a follow up from last week's lesson. We looked at html tags again, as a recap, and then went on to write our own basic html code in the notepad app. We then learnt about the different tags to change text to be bold and italicized, as well as how to highlight and sub/superscript text. After this, we learnt about character codes, and how to add links and images into our web pages. Following this, we looked into lists and tables, and finished off the work with how to comment on your code. After this, we were allowed to just work on whatever work we needed to do. For this, I was editing my Figma app, to add in a time and Wi-Fi, service, and battery icons. After I'd added these in, I had to slightly rearrange parts of my pages to all fit in better. I also added in coloured rectangle behind each sections of my app, so that it would be easier to see what pages did what at a quick glance at the f...

10/01/24 - Final Game Session

Image
In today's lesson, I was working on my literature review, as I was for most of yesterday as well after receiving feedback within my morning tutorial. I was finding new sources to reference and add into my work, so that I could discuss the work of different people over many similar topics. However I then had the issue that I was way too far over the 1500 wordcount that I was supposed to be following, so I had to go through my previous work, and cut out or re-word sections that I felt were not as necessary for the overall message that I was trying to get across. In between my writing, I would go and see how the game finalisations were coming along, as Spike was getting ready to export the final game after fixing a couple of small bugs that we had found.

08/01/24 - Presentation, App Updates And Game Run-through

Image
In today's first lesson, I was finishing off my presentation. Although I only had a couple of pages left to finish, I needed to ask some questions on how to complete these sections as I wanted to make them as accurate as possible. I then thought of another feature to add to my app, which was a premium membership subscription, so I had to create another page to represent google, as when you press the button it will open a new google page to buy a membership.  I added a few different options for the membership, so that people can feel like they have options, and even added in a student discount option so that students with a lower or no income feel like they are getting a good deal and will be more likely to buy the membership. In today's second lesson, I was continuing to work on this presentation and app page, as our game group is basically finished and I can't really contribute much else for completion. Earlier in the week Spike had told us about how the church model wasn...
