PS HW 2

The guy in the video made a point to explain the history tab, which I haven't seen or used before. I want to try it, because I figure it will give me more control then just constantly using command+z. I am worried that it is going to be annoying and hard to use though. I think it was interesting that he made a point of saying that there you can monetize your ability to photoshop. Our Digital Media teacher also made a mention of this, I wasn't aware it was actually lucrative business.

In this video she explained generative fill, and showed an example of how to turn a baby stroller into a dog. I think I will try to avoid using this tool whenever I can because of it's basis in unethical A.I., but I might have to do more research. I appreciated her pointing out how to pin the bar into position, the way the bar always moved around is a bit annoying.

In this video the guy talks about how you can use the remove tool to loop around an object and remove it while Photoshop automatically fills it in. This could definitely be a short cut for some of the processes we used in class today, where we learned how to remove watermarks among other things by using the clone stamp tool. I'm not sure how much more effective the remove tool will be versus the remove stamp tool, but it looks like it will be boringly easy.

David Z Intro

Hello world! My name is David Z, and this is my blog. I am a student at the University of Tampa, currently studying under the film major. I love movies, and just recently watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a beautiful romantic drama starring Jim Carrey. I also love music and have recently gotten into the band Della Zyr, as beautiful shoegaze and post-rock unit that just started in 2022. I would highly recommend them! My dream is one to one day make movies in the genre of romance and drama, as well as direct my own animated movie. I have several hundred pages of idea already written out. I am currently working on my first animated short film with an animator I hired over the internet, and am also writing out the plot for a romantic comedy I plan to direct and star in. I created this post for my Digital Media class, taught by Ms. Roundtree. I am excited for the class going on. I think the information is going to be interesting, and after one class I already know how to make a...

With all the glitter, I can't imagine how many edits it must have taken, along with the bruise effect he put on himself.  He may have just extended the photo slightly longer to the side and then added more glitter, which I imagine would be easier. 2. https://www.instagram.com/p/BZyr9r7BNTm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I like the vibe of this photo, the colors and people in the background is something I would probably want to replicate for my Somewhere project. I might take out the goofiness part of it though, and try to make it look like I was seriously in there. 3. There was really no photoshop in this, but I just like how he said "I like his face." I like his face too. 4.  As an amateur filmmaker and amateur actor, I really enjoyed and respected pretty...

Using Tools in Illustrator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY   The video by Flow Studio moved a bit fast, but it was very straight to the point. I liked how he would mostly explain how to activate the tools with a keyboard shortcut key, like using “T” for text. I will definitely be using the shortcuts, that’s going to make it much easier. I think I will mostly struggle with the curvature tool, it looks hard to use and a bit complicated. Also this guy apparently has a game on Kickstarter which he advertised a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzilL2zvldo   Bevcause the curvature tool seemed challenging, I watched thie video to help. The guy recommending to draw the outline is good advice, I will definitely be doing that. I like how you can choose whatever point you want along the lines drawn, but the whole idea of vectors and drawing these lines still feels complicated, its something I’m going to have to work on. I do appreciate that the guy draws out a Batman symbol.  https://www...
