In this first project, I learned how to use the Bubbl.us software, arranging the 'bubbles' in a way that was symmetrical. In the Adobe Photoshop CS4 software, I was able to learn how to add vertical text, square design border, and drop shadow effects, completing the map.

In this second project, I had already obtained information about both previously used softwares, and further expanded my expertise by centering the Mind Map around a bird shape (Since veterinarian medicine was the major focus) After continuing research about 4 different colleges in this field I was able to display this in a clear and colorful manner.

My original design was created at the start of this unit, forming a geometric pattern using various shapes. Upon uploading this image to Adobe Photoshop CS4, I used the Polygonal Lasso tool in order to create each individual shape, later dropping in different colors. This became the starting piece for each of the later adaptations.

After multiplying my design four times, I took away the color, leaving the image Black and White. Then I used the Levels feature on Adobe Photoshop CS4 to change the intensity and hue, for certain shapes to stand out compared to others.

After multiplying my design four times, I used a similar process as to the Black and White design with the Level tool. Instead of eliminating all the colors, I set the tone as cool colors, which are blue, purple, and green. I used different shades for each, making the piece fit together more.

After multiplying my design four times, I edited the layer function similar to previous two designs. Upon finishing this, I found a design of a sweatshirt online, and edited it on top. This creates a preview for how an actual design would be used in real life, for example in a store for purchase. I choose a sweatshirt since it is an article of clothing I most often wear in my day-to-day life, and would more likely use.

This program helped when creating the Class Expectations brochure, and has many templates for flyers. Best of all, its free to use!

This website effectively creates Mind Maps, using colorful bubbles in any design of your choice. It comes much in handy when trying to organize thoughts and ideas in the best directional pattern that makes sense to you.

This website was a major tool used in the Animated Gif unit, pixel art designs can be created and turned into seamless looping videos in seconds.

In almost every project, this program came into use for editing photos, mind maps, coloring designs and so much more. The extensive amount of editing tools and features are far beyond some other photo editors, making it truly needed for a creative piece of art.

As an entire class, we upload each and everyone of our design projects, in an easy-to-view gallery. The link attached is directly linked to my own personal album, which is a great resource to share a large amount of pictures with.
