1) I could help ensure a pleasant and safe environment in the classroom in the future by helping other students when they need help, listen to the teacher when she talks so people can also concentrate.

2) My strategy i employed to help myself be more engaged in the class was to search more cool things about photoshop online and try to learn more new things and make more projects on photoshop. After producing a project i feel successful.

3) I never knew how to use photoshop and i thought it was a very complicated thing to use. I never thought i would be able to use it that well. I always thought that those computer geniuses are the only people that can use photoshop or other stuff well. But after using photoshop during this semester, i understood how it works. I think my creativity stood out in my work.

4) I thought photoshop was the topic i was most interested in. I always got help from friends and my brother. Even though we don’t have photoshop at home, he still taught me many things from online websites.

5) I am most proud of my final self project. I tried so many different things for my project but nothing really stood out until one day i was hungry and i thought of gingerbread man. I really liked my project but the color was a bit dark. Just like what Ms.Koch said, when you first look at my project you’ll think that i was in a bad mood so that my project was very gloomy, it does have this funeral feel when you first look at it. I tried really hard working on my project, and i wanted to produce a very nice project for the end of the year.

6) The most significant thing i learned this semester in Digital Imagery is using photoshop. Photoshop is a very useful software that many people are good at using it. Some people use photoshop for many different cases, some people use photoshop for fun. Photoshop is also useful because people make ads from photoshop because of all the effect it has. The better the ad is, the more people that’ll be interested in your company or anything.

LEARNING LOG ( May. 16th. 2012)

I was doing my self project today. I tried to think of something interesting to work on for my self project.
I didn't search anything online today except for pictures.
I tried different effects for my picture and i thought it was very cool.
I was thinking: Is my project too plain?
Today's lesson was to get my work done.
