Adobe Premiere Pro Projects

Project #1

I used 10 images, including one of my own at the end. I used the fit to borders command to make the images fit and mixed two music pieces together.

Dynamic Systems Friday Project

I made sure to use classical music, because that's what the teacher wanted. The project includes 10 solved/unsolved courses taken from the game "Dynamic Systems"

Thunkable - Like Scratch, but for Phones (Friday Post)

"What if we put Scratch on a phone, and made it a bit different?" The result is Thunkable, an app and website created by the company of the same name, where you can design the layout of apps, and program them using a graphical interface similar to Scratch, with some changes. The software the app uses is based off of the MIT App Inventor, a website created for schools.

Thunkable is extremely user-friendly, allowing even the less experienced coders to build their own apps using its easy to use graphical interface. I've enjoyed programming things using the site and seeing what I've made come to life on their own Thunkable Live app.

I recommend this app for anyone who's familiar to interfaces like Scratch, as it's basically that but for designing mobile apps. It's also really fun.

Here's one of my projects done on the website:

First two Photoshop Infograph projects

Project #1

Project #2

Friday Post #2

1. Photoshop shortcuts

There are a majority of shortcuts exclusive to Photoshop, such as;

CTRL+G activates the grouping function. This allows you to group pixels together and move them around as if they were one.
CTRL+I selects the eraser. Self explanatory,
CTRL+R toggles the ruler, a small bar on top of the canvas that can show inches, centimeters, and picas, among other ways of measuring sizes.
CTRL+H toggles the pixel grid, useful for extremely close-up photo manipulation.
CTRL+J copies layers. Simple enough.
CTRL+K opens the preferences window.
CTRL+W closes Photoshop.
CTRL+Q quits Photoshop.
CTRL+L opens the levels window.
CTRL+1 and +0 zoom in and out, respectively

2. The myth of the Tree Octopus has been officially debunked.

This is the closest I could remove the octopus from the tree before

turning it into calamari...

I used the magic eraser tool to remove the branches, than used the rest of the leaves using a basic eraser, shrinking it until I could see the pixels of the octopus. This is very intricate, and required much undoing if I made a mistake.

3. An Interesting Video

1. What do I already know?

What I already know is how to design things using vector graphics. I also know how to navigate a web page, as I know quite a bit about web design.

2. What do I want to learn?

I want to learn how to model 3D objects, as well as animating those objects. I also want to learn some Javascript code, as well. Perhaps I could take a crack at programming my own video game?
