1) How did you enjoy the film? What stood out for you?

I enjoyed the film because the kids in the movie want to change their life and not end up like their mothers. What stood out for me was that the teacher was willing to help them in photography.

2) Did you learn anything new about photography, life, and people? What? I learned that children want to change their lives and be different from each individual. And also that they’ll go for their dreams no matter what.

3) How do you think the world needs to change? How important is this? It needs to change by how people are measuring (judging) other people because of their parents or where they live. This is really important because if people wouldn’t stop to take a chance to understand the person, there will be more impact in the world.

4) What are you willing to do TODAY to be a part of that change? Well I do not know how I would help to be part of that change because we can’t tell people how to think or they’ll get mad for hearing your opinion.

5) Do you know a good song/rap/poem with good lyrics about change in the world? Post a link or lyrics to share it with us.

This song is called “As I Grow” By Eve

“As I Grow” [Eve]
Turn your negative into a positive
This one is for the kids
Hmm[Chorus: Eve]
People hear me when I talk yea (As I grow)
People try to break me but I (Still stand strong)
Cuz this life that I live it’s (All I know)
And can nobody can take me off this (Path I travel on)
People hear me when I talk to yea [Eve]
Yo
I’m in a position to help a lot of people
When I love it, but people that claim that they love me
Want to take advantage of it
I duck ‘em, I can’t lie
That toss alot of lies
Can’t trust the story tears swellin in my eyes
Let my pen stab the page, Times I feel raged
Sometimes I feel trapped got me locked in a cage
But I break free
Won’t never let the anger overtake me
Cuz actions of another never make E or break E
I never let ‘em shake me
And no matter what I never always wish exesive ho’s that hate me
The ones they call my enemies
Who only want to be friends of me
On the other hand surrounded by the greatest team
Who wouldn’t trade mind for nothin not for anything
Thank you for giving me your best
And I appreciate giving you everything and nothing less

[Chorus: Eve][Eve]
I live my life threw my semi chest
My heart beat strong, sometimes contaminated by the pest
And yeah I know I’m livin’ blessed
And if I didn’t make it here, my life would be a mess
Can’t live a life of fear
All that get you is nowhere surrounded by a bunch of stress
And I always had a hard head
Had a choice to play around wit life or listen to a gossip
So I straightened up and I’m doin right
Growin every year, aiiyo this thing ain’t happen overnight
But I still got alot to do
And never givin up cuz anything I feel I know is possible
Don’t never let people discourage
Plants see the dream, Baby and let ‘em flourish
Lettin you in on what I know
Huh, as I live my life and as I grow
[Chorus: Eve]

6) Pick a non-profit organization that is important to you. Why is this important to you? Do they have a website?A non-profit organization that’s important to me is Angels In Need. It’s important to me because hearing that infants are being cared for in a emergency shelter is heart-breaking because they don’t have a permanent home.

7) What ideas do you have for media arts projects that we could do individually or as a class to help contribute to these organizations that are important to us?

We could start making posters, make small meetings about these organizations, or even make a concert to contribute to it.

3a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching? What about it promotes curiosity? How is it visually pleasing? What makes it easy to understand?)

The eye catching thing on my magazine is how big & bolded the title letters are and also the 2 stars on the magazine cover. The thing about it that promotes curiosity is that the people would want to know what’s happening between the super divas so they would be up-to-date with the latest gossip to brag it out and also they would want to see celebrities at their worse & best. It’s visually pleasing to others because these celebrities are known for their singing & music so that their fans will be satisfied. It’s easy to understand because its simple and people are always about fashion & gossip nowadays.

3b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?

1. Gwen Stefani & Rihanna

2. The title

3. The background

4. The secondary storyline

DPI (Dots Per Inch)

creyzziie — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:18:25 +0000

1. Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image would be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?

I think the 300 dpi image will be clearer than the 72 dpi image when printed out because the 300 dpi image has more dots to work with than the 72 dpi image.

2. What would a picture at 1 dpi look like?

It would look like a square and blurred and it wouldn’t have any definition of what the picture would look like.

Fruit Bowl

Fruit_Feather

Fruit_Combo

Fruit_Wand

Fruit_Lasso

1. What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?

I used the polygonal lasso tool to get most of the background then I used the eraser tool at 3 point to get close to the fruit bowl as possible.

2. Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?

I’d say the magnetic lasso tool works faster than the other 2 because the magic wand takes up more time when you select the back ground to delete it doesn’t get everything.

3. Experiment with the following:
After you make a selection in the menu and go to
     a) Select > Modify > Expand
     b) Select > Modify > Contract
     c) Select > Feather
What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.

Expand makes the fruit bowl become bigger and Contact makes it smaller. Feather makes the picture have a glowing touch to it and also deletes the background.

Hello world!
