Today is our prelim exam.I got nine out of ten items. :)

For this day,we leaned about different file formats and the difference between raster and vector images.

File Formats

JPEG
        -best used for photos.It is the commonly used file format for photos.

GIF
        -used for animation.

PSD
          -format for adobe photoshop.

MP4
        -commonly used format for music.

Other file formats:

-AVI
-TIFF
-MP3
-WMA
-MKV
-PIC
-PIX

RASTER IMAGES vs. VECTOR IMAGES

Vector images are better than Raster images or Bitmap images because it has better quality and even if you zoom in the images,it is still sharp and presentable.

My fourth meeting for Color Theory.New learning were gained even though i came up late :)

For this meeting,different color styles were discussed.

ProPhoto RGB color space
         use with photographic output in mind.

sRGB
      use for the web.

CMYK color model
      use in color printing.

Adobe RGB 1998
      designed to encompass most of the colors achievable on CMYK color printers,but by using RGB primary colors on a device such as the computer display.

LAB color space
     is a color opponent space with dimension L for lightness and A and B for the color opponent dimensions.

This is our third meeting for the Color Theory class.Every week,there's something about this class that will make you excited and you will learn many things.So,we better not miss it!

For this day,we learn about RULE OF THIRDS.

Rule of Thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in photography and other visual arts such as painting and design.

It is like making a simple photograph to a dramatical or a picturesque one.

Here are some examples of mine:

Hello!this is my second blog entry for the subject Color Theory.This subject gave me so much knowledge about computer techniques especially in using Adobe Photoshop.

For this day,I've learned about the preferences and color settings for photoshop like how to adjust the settings and some shortcuts.

Here are some shortcuts:

If you want to reset the setting of photoshop then you should press command,option and shift at the same time and click yes,then open the Adobe Photoshop.

If you want to use the ruler then press command + r.

And also i've learned the differences of PC and Mac keyboard shortcuts:

Control        =       Command
Alt               =       Option
Shift             =       Shift

Shift stays the same on both PC and Mac.

Also,8 points,smallest in print,is equal to 12 pixels on the web.

On print  = dots per inches
On web   =pixels per inches

And for easier guide lines,instead of using Ruler,you can use Smart Lines for an automatic ruler.

If you want to see all stuff that you undo,you can see it in History,but be sure that it has limitations because it can enlarge your file.

For preference setting,History and Cache,be sure that it will not be too large so that your computer will not hung while you're working on your project.

In color setting,it is better to use Adobe RGB(1998) than sRGB because it has more color capacity.

And one more thing,paper is also important.Sometimes,your project depends on the quality of paper you used so make sure it is good :)

I guess,that's all i've learned for today,maybe not all but that was all i remember.

THANK YOU! :)

Oh!This was the first day for the second semester of being a freshman college student.And for this day,we encountered the Color Theory class with our professor,Mr. Rey Mendoza.He was quite amazing and nice too.I was impressed by his story,his works,a photographer,web designer and a part time multimedia professor.He showed some of his works that are very impressive.

In our discussion,he taught us about the history of colors,how colors were made and where it all begun.We also learned about how the artist should handle the given projects or how to start a project.

An artist is a problem solver.In solving a problem,first is to identify your goal or what is the main objective of the project.Second,who is your audience?You should identify who will be your client and how will you satisfy them through your work,And lastly,What is your budget and timeline.You should be responsible on how to do the project with the right amount of money and should have a right and adequate time.

So,that was it,a very productive class for today.A four hours class for this day was worth it.
THANK YOU! :)

ICCS CONVENTION

              My 6th entry!The days of being a college student seems so fast.I already encountered a lot of new experiences.Recently,last September 1,2013 was a great experience too!It was the ICCS convention or the "10th Big EdukCircle Convention on Media Media Communication" with its theme "Investigative Journalism" held in AFP Theater in Quezon City.There's a lot of students from different universities all around the Philippines.It was fun actually because we've seen different faces around the country.As i said,it was new experience.It was my first time to attend this kind of event.At first,i don't have any idea of what will happen.Will we just sit and listen?be bored?

           And this is what happened.I am surprised when Susan Enriquez and Mark Salazar came out on stage and will be the host for the whole time.They are known Tv personality in GMA 7.Ok,the first speaker of the event was Ms. Marites Danguilan.She talked about Risks and Ethics.In her speech,I've learrned that,in creating a documentary report,taking risks is a must.We should not fear anything.We should be brave enough of what will happen.We should be ready all the time because this job may give unexpected happenings.And ethics is an important thing that should journalist must learned too.

            Second speaker is,Ms. Love Anover,also a well-known tv personality and host.She showed a documentary entitled "Mangagamot".It was a catchy documentary.Why?because it was very creepy!(LOL)it is about a man who is not a licensed doctor but treat patients with his own tools.Yes,it was illegal but he was a well known "mangagamot" in their place.There's a lot of screams and shouts from the audience.It's like,we're watching a horror movie :) And in Ms. Love speech,I've learned that teamwork is one of the key in creating a documentary.With teamwork,a successful documentary can be done.And also starting in the lowest position in the production team is very big advantage.For instance,you are now the Production Manager and one of your member is missing(researcher),you can be in the part of the researcher because you've already experienced being a researcher.Get the point?

           The third speaker is Mr. Ed Lingao,a multimedia director :) what i've learned from him is,your documentary should not only be informative but also entertaining!It was the most important idea for me in the whole convention.And what i love the most in the convention is the awarding of different personalities!!!The crowd got wild and alive when we saw different tv personalities! :) It was so fun!Hope it will happen again!This convention is very informative yet so fun! :)

         

CREDIT ALLIGATOR

            Hi people!This is my 5th blog entry.So far,Im adapting and yet enjoying this whole blog thing :) It's kind of fun actually.Midterms is done and Semi-finals is yet to come!Can't imagine time passed very quick and our second semester is finally raging :) can't wait...

Okay...

Our topic for this entry is "THE CREDIT ALLIGATOR"

any idea?

NONE x)

First,i'll show you the meaning of the two words...

CREDIT is recognition by name of a person contributing to a performance.So it is like showing honor to the creator of something like movies,music,novels and etc...while the term ALLIGATOR is a person who is a thief or maybe a cheater...

and if we'll combine the two words....

CREDIT ALLIGATOR is a person who steal someones work and make it his/her own.Not just someones works has been stolen but efforts and unsaid praises too.It may seem so unfair for those who actually the creator.

It is connected to what we all know.PLAGIARISM,the act of copying one's work without permission.

Honestly,i did this things sometimes.BUT!Now that i've learned the consequences and efffects of those things,i'll make sure that i'll never gonna do it again and make sure that everything i searched or copy,not totally copied x) will be properly credited to the real owner.

And for those people who are still and will be CREDIT ALLIGATORS,please respect  and understand the efforts and time spent of the owner with their works.There's nothing wrong with copying(not totally copied) someone's work,but only need to respect him/her.

 

REMEMBER...

-Everything has its own limitations.

-We should respect others.

-and BE UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL! :)
