My Future Artifact

Tutorial: http://www.worth1000.com/tutorials/162092/how-i-created-bubble-berry

The process that i went through to make this future artifact was kind of challenging and confusing. That's because I'm not a pro at using photoshop. Although it was kind of hard for me to do this I was able to finish it, and i think i did a pretty good job. The first step to making this artifact was to find a picture of what I wanted to turn into a bubble. In this case it was a basketball. Second, I had to find a picture of a bubble (this was easy). Third, I had to put both pictures together and desaturated the bubble (the bubble was overlayed). Fourth, I had to copy the bubble layer and put it on top of the already existing one with a lower opacity. Fifth, I had to Cut out the lines out of the basketball, mirror it, and then put them to overlay one with a slightly higher opacity then the other one. Sixth, I had to extract the basketball from the background, and repaint the background to the color i wanted. Seventh, I got another source of a bubble for a reflection, and placed it on top of my bubble basketball but with a really low opacity. Eight, I lowered the contrast just to give it a bit more of an effect. Now that I've told you the steps I went through to make this object, I will talk about the things I didn't, and did like about it. The things that I disliked were that It was kind of hard, and the fact that the tutorial wasn't really that clear. On the other hand there were many things I liked, some examples are that it was fun, I learned new thing, and I thought the final product was cool. Also, if i could change anything from my project I think id leave it the same. That's because I don't think i did a bad job at it, I actually think It was good.

In my opinion Julian did a great job in this project (https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3h6GHTA-20ymJEHGA28N1eYGFZAeDzXaw-JZ5xGE8hNPIRFxkMZdbkFbZdMVGd-OiTdnm1eAHkXHYMnPumAY-ZMul0TD_Ry6Ho7m8Y8TNy2OTiSPo6MMql6c018gsfOTXhB9_utKBn5Q/s1600/cat+julian+photoshop.jpg). What I liked the most of from this project was the fact that it looks realistic. Also, it looks really hard to make. Not only that but I can tell that he really put a lot of effort and time into making this. Furthermore, I can see a few photoshop skills that I would like to learn. An example of this is that I would like to learn how he made the cracks, he made it in a certain way so that they only show on the rock and not on the cat. Not only that but I would also like learn how he made it look like a drawing.

My artifact is suppose to be the future of architecture, It's suppose to be the a machine that will turn anything into a non popping bubble. Although I like this object, I don't think It could be invented during my lifetime. I think that because so far there's nothing such as a bubble that wont pop. Also, I think that it is way to hard to make a machine that transforms something into something else. In the other hand, If it was invented during my lifetime I would get it because It sounds like lots of fun. Not only that but I would make a lot of things into bubble just to decorate my room a bit more. This artifact will benefit the people who are getting it, in the way that it will offer does people a wider variety of decoration. In conclusion, this artifact will benefit designers and architects the most.

My Net Speed, Gross Speed, and Accuracy, Growth and Decline (2010-2011) Charts

1. This chart is useful because the lines show how I've improved or unimproved. The colors make it easier to know which score is which.


2. This second is unique. It accurately tells me each one of my score. Another reason why i chose this is because it's easy to identify what is what.
3. I think this is the best chart because it is very accurate, easy to understand, and it shows me how much I've gone up or down in between scores.

Cristmas Break!

This Christmas break was really fun (except for when i got sick), and weird at the same time. It's the first time I stayed here in Puerto Vallarta except for one very busy day. The first two days of vacation I hanged out at Santiago's house. It was fun, we played basketball, video games, and we even went to the gym. After does two days i went back home and rest for a few days. Once i felt full of energy i went out with some friends, and did this for another couple of days. Two days before Christmas i went to guadalajara for christmas shopping. It was really tiering since i spent all day walking around the mall.

Christmas eve came and my stomach was feeling really bad,when dinner time came I threw up about six time (not pleasant). The next day (Christmas day) I was feeling a bit better, I got really cool stuff like: clothes, drum microphones, a musci program, and music interphace. After a few more days I was feeling better, I would just hang out with friend. Later on this Christmas break one of my best friends came to Puerto Vallarta to visit (Mark), I was able to hang out with him for a long time, but later on that day i had to go back home to celebrate my dads birthday. New years eve came, and I went to Sebastians house to celebrate, I had a blast! Now im hear at school missing vacations.

Stop Motion Examples

After watching the videos in moodle I would define a stop motion video as a piece of art were you take a bunch of picture, and put them together. I would think someone would make a video in this maner to challenge them selves. Also, it looks like it is alot of fun, and time consuming. Not only that but the finished product is amaizing. In addition to this it gives an incredible effect to the viewer. My guess of how they make the videos is that first, they get the materials. Next they make something, and take a picture. They repeat this a bunch of times. Next they put all the pictures together to make a video. My favorite example of a stop motion video was the post stick one, and another cool one i like is. In conclusion i really enjoyed watching all does videos, they were all great.

Watercolor Tree Interpretation

Watercolor Tree Interpretation

This Friday, November 5, 2010 we went into English class and made some watercolor paintings of a tree being struck by lightning. I didn’t expect we were going to do this at all, but it was fun. My drawing consisted of a thin tree trunk being hit by a lightning, grass, a lot of leaves on the tree, fire, dark clouds, and a dark background. I chose making my drawing like that for some specific reasons. First, I decided to make a thin trunk because it was going to be easier to draw considering I don’t have great drawing skills. Second, I made a dark background and clouds to represent a heavy lightning storm. Third, I made a lot of leaves on the tree because that’s the way i like them, I don't really enjoy looking at dead trees. Fourth, I made the tree catch in fire on the spot were the lightning is hitting it. That's because when lightning hits a tree I would expect it too catch on fire. Also, it makes it look like if the lightning is actually hitting the tree. Fifth, I made some grass around the tree. I did this just to use the space up a bit more. Not only that but it also makes the drawing look better, or at least that’s what I think. Not only that but i think that tree in general represents pain. That’s because the tree is a person who got hit (lightning), and is in pain (fire). Lastly if I could redo something from my drawing better I think I would of done the tree again. I just didn't really like how i made it, it’s to simple. In conclusion I had a really good time making my tree, and I hope we make something similar to this in the future.
