#21 Intro To Google Sketch Up
In assignment 21 I was introduce to Google Sketch Up. Where I learn how to create shapes as shown below I started with the basics a triangle, a circle, and a square. After that I wrote my name with the shapes and making it look in letters and did my name in 3d dimension.

#22- 12 Isometric Blocks for Practice
Length:9 Width:4 Height:6
As you can see this is a quiz. I chose a number and with that number it was the block I had to do. The length was 10 its width was 4 and the height was 6. I did the the block and in the middle of it I used a circle and drew it from the median. Then I just got rid of the circle. I went back to Photoshop and open up the image of the quiz with the blocks and I crop the block that I had. Lastly I put the quiz block with the block that I did together and I label it.

#23 Abigail's Gingerbread House
For this assignment I used an image of a gingerbread house to create one similar to it. There was a lot of detail to it. For some of the parts of the house it look in 3d dimension. I also used the same color that it had. As shown the door on top had a round part I did that by drawing it with a circle. I also did two hearts by drawing a triangle and extending on both sides a circle and erasing the parts not necessary. Lastly I isolate it and there I got my gingerbread house.

#24 A 3d Viewing Gingerbread House
In this assignment I chose a background from Google. I open it in Photoshop and I also open the background of my gingerbread house. What I did was make it look in 3d form. That's why as you see it looks red and double but once you have the glasses on you'll see the 3d dimension.**********************************************************************************
In this assignment our task was to create a power button. I first did a circle with the ellipse tool. I did some changes to it in the layer stile. then I created another circle in the middle of it. I created an aluminum layer that I put in the center of it and set it to screen then I downloaded the power image and put it in the center of the circle. I did some changes in the layer style and I change the color of the power symbol to green. Lastly I did the animation part I had to duplicate five layers but in total there were fourteen and they were in order from where it turns on to off. There's one layer with the turn off button. The GIF is a moving picture which stands for Graphic Image File. That's how you can explain being able to see how the power's color turns on and off.

Test Part 1: Room

In the first part of the test I created the room where the lights are taken place at. I created a box with different pixels and with that box I was able to draw the lines to it. I had eight lines in total. After having the lines I was able to label each side of the room. For each layer label I did some changes in the layer style. There I got my room.
Test Part 2: Room with Lights and Merchandize
For part 2 there were questions that I had when it came to creating the lights. I had to ask my teacher for help and she would explain to me what to do. One of the questions that I ask her was " How can I create the triangular shape for the light ?" she would show me that if I use the polygonal lasso tool I would be able to create the shape. There were other questions that I had but the answer was right there when doing the work. Once I finish creating the lights for the left side I group all layers and name it 'lights'. Then I duplicated the group layer and I put them for the other two sides. Afterwards I just put an image of the merchandize under each light. I used the iPhone 4 for merchandize. As you can see there's a shadow underneath the merchandize I just use the dodge tool to make it look more like a shadow. That was all, there's my show case!

Reflection on Multimedia
During this semester I took the class multimedia. In this class I learn a lot about different programs. The programs that I learn about were Microsoft, Publisher, Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Google Sketch, and Blogger. The first program that I learn about was Microsoft and Publisher where Publisher is one of the programs that Microsoft consists of. Besides Publisher I also used the Word Document program of Microsoft where I wrote about the meaning of multimedia and in Publisher I did projects like the one with the business card and also the brochure. Then I work with Photoshop where you can do different graphics. One of the projects that I did with Photoshop were the one with color, gradient creation, color texture with my name, and other ones. After Photoshop we work with Adobe Illustrator where we created phones and other textures like that. And last finalist, we work with Google Sketch where we learn how to do figures with their lengths, height, and width, also with medians. One of the projects I remember doing in google sketch was the gingerbread house. One of the programs that we worked with through out the whole semester was the blogger program. Where we had our own website and we were able to post and write about the projects we did. This also help our teacher to be able to see the work we did and when writing about it she'll be able to see our knowledge of understanding to what we did. The program that I most like was publisher. The one I had difficulty the most was Adobe Illustrator but I was able to get a hand of it. I think learning about these programs will help me a lot in the near future. I enjoy this class and it will be helpful in my future work.
