Final Project

I chose the title "Katie-O's" because this cereal describes me. In each bowl there are my favorite things, including a dancer, soccer ball, giraffe, and more. I used the rainbow background because it is bright and expressive. I also used many different tools on the text like text overlay, inner glow, and drop shadow. Around the picture of myself I used the star paint brush to make a border.

Glogster

This is my Glogster. I used a bunch of pictures that describe different things in my life. I also used a lot of graphics all over the page to make it less boring. There is also a few quotes on my page that are meaningful. Also I thought it was cool how there is a quote with a girl laughing and her friend smiling and next to it is a picture of me and my friend basically doing the same thing.

Pros and Cons of Facebook

PROS:

1. It's a good way to interact with friends and family.
2. It's a good way to find people that you have been searching for (biological parents, etc.). 
3. It's a good way for a business to share their product with other people.

CONS:

1. People can stalk you.
2. People can find out about your personal information. 
3. Things you put on there can be seen by future bosses and cause you to not get a job. 

I think Facebook is a good way to connect with friends and family but it can potentially be dangerous. Some random person could stalk me and/or take my personal information. I feel like Facebook is a good thing to have but you need to be careful when using it. 

Creative Photoshop

For my creative photo shop I took a city background and put myself on it holding the Eiffel Tower. For the border I used floral brushes and did four different lines of them. I transformed two of them and turned them sideways. The hardest part about this project was making the center of the Eiffel Tower look like the buildings were behind it. I just used small white brush strokes to make it look like the lights from the buildings next to it. 

Light Saber

During this project we changed a ruler stick into a light saber. I thought it was very cool but also very difficult. It was hard turning the ruler stick white so that I was able to make it glow.

Landscapes

These are my two landscapes. The first one I followed directions to make. The most difficult part with that one was the rainbow. The second one I made myself and it was pretty easy after I got the hang of everything. My favorite parts in the second one are the grass and umbrella.

The Lost Animals

The Lost Animals

On the website goanimate I used the animal theme to create an animation between a zebra and an elephant. Throughout the animation they are discussing what they're going to do to try and rescue the other animals. My favorite part of this project was being able to type out the animal's dialogue.
