Exploring Powtoon

Today we explored Powtoon. I do not like this program very much, as for some reason, the templates would disappear when I was browsing for the one I needed. Other then that, things are not very organized, in my opinion, and certain objects were full white, with no border around them, effectively making them invisible. I personally do not see any points in the future where i would use powtoon for anything. There’s a saying that goes something like “if you need something done, you gotta do it yourself”, and that’s what I would most likely do for a resume, or animation.

Exploring Photoshop

 

I made 2 variations of my final image, one that had more color contrast added to it, (right), and one without, (left).

I was trying to convey the message, “if i can wear a mask, you can too!” and that remained prominent throughout editing.

For the after image, i have used a hue/saturation editor, used another photo i had taken, and layered it underneath, and used layer masks to make the blue around the arrow translucent.

I want to learn how to make very cinematic shots look even better.

HTML and CSS website

I used the HTML to make sure the list was working correctly, and that all the text was aligned the way I wanted, while CSS was used to make the text a bit more readable, and to style the website.

I want people to notice the image, and see the above text, hoping they read it.

I used Creative thinking, because i had to make the website look nice, which required me to think outside of the box slightly.

Exploring Python

Python is a type of coding language, it was given its name after Monty Python, and is one of the easiest coding languages to learn, using print, if, else, and other simple statements to make a program.

What I find most interesting about Python is that it’s easy to pick up and learn, and once you learn the basics, you can pretty much go wild after that.

What i hope to learn next is how to make more interactive programs.
