Feathering

This lab was about blend, feather and smooth. We had to select a picture which we would be sure that, that image had some rough edges or something obvious to select. I chose a classic car. First we had to make a selection using the lasso tool and I must accept my selection wasn't good enough. (I could have done better) And after that we would press select and redife edge which was like an editor and optional to use in case your selection wasn't perfect as in my case I tried to improve it. And then I created a mask and as it was done in a previous lab we had to duplicate four times the image and had to add effects on it such as hue or saturation among others. That is the part I was missing but I did learn new skills about how to improve rough edges and improving its smooth areas.

Brochure

Project 8 I would say it's been one of the most hard projects we have done so far due to the fact that we had to work in teams, and not just that but also come up with original ideas to make our work appealing and to focus on getting the readers attention. I was the researcher of my team and along my group contributed to it. This was all done using InDesign and obviously outside information and we decided to advertise a zoo because having in mind the season and time of the year we are at, we thought that it will be something that would call attention specially to children and also to provide information and encourage people to go and visit because it is an interesting place to spend a weekend at. And lastly I would say that this activity helped us all to learn to listen to each other and contribute. We are using one of the most important soft skills that is team work which consists on mainly giving credit to all of those that tried to help and include basic teachings as well.

Puppet Warp

This lab was all done to pretty much make us all practice out skills on learning how to use new tools. In this case we practiced the use of puppet warp. First I had to chose an image that was more preferable to have its sides separated from its own. I selected my image and then I started to mark pins on areas I wanted to move so I ended up with moving the individual's head, arms and legs. I think it was a fun activity because we are not just learning new skills but also it will help us on our future as a designers and to use our creativity shown on new ideas. And also I think I could have done a better job finishing my work on time which I will try to work on the next time!

critical thinking and problem solving

This could also help you relate to what is has been going through tough situations but not finding the answer to solve them with an adequate attitude. Well this topic can include specially being patient and taking things easy. Thinking about it before doing it because one mistake can ruin your professional career. And it will also help you in your job, your manager will be more proud of you if you show him that you are able to take initiative at all times and can be independent.

Professionalism

Professionalism I can say it is a source if succeeding during an interview but it mainly applies during work days. You want to be hire based on how you take control of what you are left in charge of and how you take responsibility of your work showing that you are taking things serious. And another thing you can do is take initiative, don't just do what you are being told to but if you know that you can do something else to improve your day of working then go ahead and make your manager proud of having a person like you on their company.

Enthusiasm and Attitude

I think the video showed to us in class was clear enough to understand that enthusiasm and coming prepare to an interview and with attitude would be at least more than half of what the person that is hiring you wants. This includes being on the appointment in time, good business attire and having your material ready. It will not be difficult if you are willing to go for it and show this person that you are always going to have a good attitude and positive thinking towards succeeding. 

Synopsis

Synopsis I would say is the one that basically includes all the purposes of why getting ready for an interview is important. It's all about keeping the enthusiasm and maintaining a positive mind that will lead you to open opportunities. Communication as well because it is the main purpose of why you are on the position you are in and want to show the rest what you've got. But someone is not just going to hire you for that but also because you got skills such as working as a team, They are looking for people that likes to share ideas and responsibilities with others and will give credit to their team. And a last thing they are all looking for is professionalism, which basically is dressing properly, be respectful and be prepare among others.

Team Work.

Team work would also be consider as the most valuable thing for most of your partners at your job. It is important that when doing a project, presentation or even just a simple work given to you, that you give credit to every single person that helped you no matter if the help was a little or way to much. But it is also important that the person that is trying to help you has good intentions on helping and has the same goal as you in this case would only apply goals related to work, such as goals of wanting to succeed as an employee, and always having a positive thinking.

Communication skills

 

Communication skills is probably one of the most important skills that must be shown during an interview and at all times during a work day. It is important because that you show the listener that you are the type of person that gives clear detail about certain topic, that likes to share ideas and also the type of person that talks with respect and uses permitted vocabulary so that certainly tells a lot about your personality.

PJ#7 Respect for all GIF

For this project I had to create a GIF which topic was "Respect for All". First a chose a topic and started thinking about its actions. My GIF is about a different type of respect which is respect for nature. It shows a girl dropping water to a plant in order for it to grow. I think it was a good idea because not everyone nowadays give plants the same respect as of humans even though is the most important source for us. And I also think that this project will help us on later on ideas we may have and help us grow as designers.
