This picture is my picture for inspiration. I got it from flickr. I added the word inspiration to it and gave the word a drop shadow. Effect than I turned the picture black and white and than inverted the colors.

Interview Project

I interviewed Chris Forslund a college student at Wayne State College who is Majoring in Graphic Design. Here is what he told me 1. Basic design principles? I would have to say pure creativity you be the heart of all designing. It takes a creative mind to even to start thinking about a design. 2. Tips for success in the field? Start working with other designers depending on what type of designing it is but for a graphic designer working for a someone else is a good place to start. 3. Advice to a novice designer? Always let your mind take you new places it is a good thing to have a broad view of things when it comes to designing.

This picture is really cool it was taken at an amazing angle and they picked a really good time of night to take it. The light on the metal design is amazing!http://www.flickr.com/photos/44233857@N00/929069316/

Photoshop Podcasts

I watched a few podcasts videos and the one i liked the most was a quick tips video on how to creat comicbooks effects on you photshop lessons. They showed it in a very easy way to understand and it looks very cool. Also what i like about it is that its totally non destructive to your picture.

What I Liked and Disliked about Apple Student Gallery.

I liked the artwork, movies, and animations. I think its a good place for students in design to post there art work. I think they it was a very interesting website but has some room for improvement. I think they should expand the site so that you dotn have to be 18 to post pictures to the webiste. Because I'm sure many students under the age of 18 would use this website without havig to have a teacher or someone they knew older than 18 to post their pictures and things for them.

What i learned from atomic learning

I learned how to use a camera to crop photos. I also learned how to create layers to my picture. I learned to how to get rid of imperfections in my pictures as well.
