More Photoshop

All seems to have gone to plan at college so far today, I am currently in the Digital media still images class and working with Photo shop, carrying out a few task. Today I am adjusting the colours of some pictures to make them look more professional. For example I have to change the colour of a building, leaving the building next to it as it was when I started the change. all good fun to be honest.

Hometown and travel to college

The day has started fine so far, the class has created a Wiki for everyone too see. The general topics are our travel to college and hometown, considering my hometown is in the middle of nowhere. Wasn’t much to say, but my memory served me well to help me create a good paragraph?

A new season nears

Has been a cracking day considering it is February.

So this picture reminded me how the season and activities of the farmers are changing .





Not bad for a mobile picture.

My progress so far

With the week ending and the weekend approaching I’m feeling relieved the week has gone to plan, have now wrote the review I had to write as a task for the Social Software. Just away to submit it to my tutor to see if he would read it and see what he thinks. Other than that I’m pleased with my college progress and looking forward to the up and coming weeks, with the first week of class overviews of what I will be doing and what’s expected of me to pass the course. I now look forward to next week when the proper work of passing the NC in Digital Media Studies will begin.

The Fun Continues

Has been a very interesting day today, started off with interactive media for web development. This first involved a brief outline of the unit and what is required to pass the assessments later on in the block, then I got the chance to use Flash CS3, had a little play around to make small animations. Then came the real task, creating a storyboard for one animation that has to feature on a website, this animation has to include buttons to stop and start it.

With the brain storming over and the finalised storyboard I started developing my animation. With the idea of a clown like figure I decided the animation will include the removal of a hat the clown will be wearing at the start of the animation.


This afternoon was taken up in the Digital Media Audio Editing, being the first week of block two it involved some talking about the unit and assessments. Other than this I watched Duncan demonstrate how you can edit sound in small audio clips, then I watched a video about audio and how music was made using different sounds and techniques to get the sounds and effects, for example the original Doctor Who series theme tune, this was made by talented people at the BBC years ago.

Block 2 continues

Well the day of college has ended and I must say I am really enjoying block 2, considering I have only been doing it for three days. so many new things to learn and do, this morning I was in Social Software, comprised of researching things to do with Social Software of course. Not forgeting the homework of reviewing a Social network site, mine is Wikipedia. Something to do and keep me focused on college. Next was Digital Still Image Editing, this was working with Photoshop CS3, got a small outline of whaT I was going to be doing, then carried out a small and simple task. All good for when it gets to the point of editing pictures. Last class of the day was Digital Video Editing, where I created a small video clip on how not to leave a computer, and how it should look. Great fun.

Block 2 has arrived

With it now approaching mid week I could happily say, everything has gone fine.
At last I started block 2 yesterday. First class was working with Microsoft PowerPoint, happy to say I have got the hang of PowerPoint. Good to see I am doing the Digital media, Elements for applications, this wasn’t hard at all, just gave me a brief idea of what element were. For example, what is Animations, audio and video? And how they can be used. I also was given the chance to learn about extensions like .doc and .mp3, this class will be very important if I chose to study web development next year as it will give me the skills of inserting media into a web site.
