Photoshop Evaluation F

5-6 Satisfactory personal engagement and a satisfactory attitude towards safety, cooperation,
and respect for others is consistently displayed

   I had fun with this project and always folllowed the rules when doing so.

Photoshop Evaluation

Criterion A - Investigate
5-6 Information from a broad range of appropriate, acknowledged sources is collected -I cited and got many ideas from many different cites.


Criterion B - Designing
5-6 A range of feasible designs are generated. -I posted a couple good design ideas for my final product.


Criterion C - Plan
5-6 A plan containing greater detail is produced. -I made a plan in illustrator about what I thought I was going to do.  It has labels of what foods they are and color, unlike the designs.


Criterion D - Create
5-6 Appropriate techniques and equipment are competently used.
A product must be of appropriate quality in respects to requirements and resources.
The plan is followed and any changes from the plan are justified.
Appropriate Quality: The best product or solution that can be produced in respect to resources and time available, skills and techniques used, educational development, how it addresses the need, and aspects of safety and ergonomics. -I worked really hard on this product.  I got many different foods and used them in different ways.  I changed the colors using the photoshop tools and used all of my recources.


Criterion E - Evaluate
5-6 The success of the product and the student’s own performance are evaluated in respect to design specification and views of intended users. Possible improvements to both product and student’s performance on each stage of the design cycle are described. -This is my evaluation.  I evaluated each step exactly and placed some notes at the bottom of what I thought I would have done differently.


I thought I did excelent but I with I could have made the food look like it went together more and that it was more all one picture.  I might have changed the hair just because it looks a little sloppy. I would also like it if the picture looked a little more like me.

Me Created in Food, Create

   I changed a few things from my plan.  I decided against the pickles for eyes because I couldn't find a goo picture for it.  I added a body and dress because the picture seemed unfinished without it and the can background.  I also added a cake "hat" to take away from the, less well done, hair.

   I Posted what it looked like when I was about half way through but I didn't do any designs aside from that.

   I spent most of my time on this, I used Illustrator, as instructed and made a map that fully reflected what it was designed to reflect.


Criterion E- Evaluate
5 he success of the product and the student’s own performance are evaluated  in respect to design specification and views of intended users.  Possible improvements to both product and student’s performance on each stage of the design cycle are described.

RBG and CMYK

   I googled them and found that RBG means Red Green Blue and CMYK means Cyan Magenta Yellow Black.  I don't understand why the last letter is black when it is a K in the acronym.  RBG is what you see on your computer screen, it is the primary pigments.  CMYK is what your printer prints through and is slightly duller in some cases.
   You can also convert a picture to CMYK to have ore control over what your picture looks like.  Also there are some colors that cannot be seen through CMYK.  These colors are "out of the CMYK gamut."  It seems that when you print your printer has a different color pallet and it won't come out the exact same as on your computer screen unless you convert it to CMYK.

File Types

There are different file types on the computer.  we use file types like .JPG .AI .PNG and >SVG, in our class.  We use these and a couple others because they are all different.  It would be easier to have just one but then we wouldn't be able to do the things we can.  There are different file types because they do different things.  Whether it uses pixels or vectors, or whatever,  you need the different file types to make a picture look different.  It all depends on what you need to use the picture for.  We also have different file types to be more compatable with different software.

Illustrator

   Illustrator was useful and I can see why a lot of companies use it.   It had more applications then ROME and I was able to do a lot more on it.  It was kind of hard just because we had to practice a bit more since there were so many things we could do.  I think I like Illustrator more just because it has more applications for different uses.  It is hard to work in but not if you practice a lot.
   Illustrator is a software that can create many things.  A lot of companies use it to make logo's, characters and other things.  In Illustrator you can create shapes with color, depth and color changes.  It is great for making maps, characters, graphs and much more.  I made a map using illustrator and in my oppinion it turned out much better than the original.

VECTORS vs. BITMAPS

Vectors use math no matter how big or small you make them they will never become fuzzy or pixelated.  A picture in vectors uses an equation, this makes them always perfect but makes them load longer. If we did everything in vectors it would take an hour to load a webpage.
Bitmaps use pixels.  Each pixel it assigned a color and value and they all make up the picture.  To make a bitmap picture bigger you increase the number or size of the pixels.  They are easier to load but can come out blurry.

Evaluation Questions

When creating my ICONs I had trouble figuring out the software because I have never used ADOBE ROME before this class.  The ways in which to bring things forward and backward and to warp them were difficult.

I coped with these challenges by reading the tutorials and playing with the software before making my ICONs.  I also had more than one sketch on the computer to try to know what I liked about my ICONs and what I wanted to change.

I did well on making the the final product because I had done a lot of tutorials for ROME and knew what I wanted before I made the finished product.  I had made four different sketches before creating it.

If I could restart my project I would make better sketches.

I learned a lot about ADOBE and I can use that information in other things outside of class.
