Hey everyone!!!!
Anyone wanting a website that enables you to create your own with minimal effort then Wix is for you. http://www.wix.com/

This website allows you to make websites from already premade layouts as well as allowing users to add their own special touch. Through this website users will also be able to add special effects, videos, pictures, widgets and many other useful items to their web page.

During my time using Wix I have discovered that presentation and detail is very important when working with a visual project. Other sources such as videos and pictures may also be used to give your audience a clearer message on what you are trying to communicate. By using Wix I have gained more knowledge in the Website Designing department as I now know what most web designers go through.

Below is a preview of a web page that I have created on my favorite movie Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Also heres the link to my finished project.

This awesome websites allows you to upload your favorite pictures and form it into a short film. This web application also enable users to add their favorite music as well as add special effect.

From this website Animoto I have learnt the importance of pictures and how it communicates to viewers. Music in these short films are also important as they set the mood of the presentation. These skills will likely help me as I may pursue a career in IT.

~Go Animate~

Journal 2

Hi everyone its me again =]
My recent discovery of a website called Go Animate has been the highlight of this week. This website was great, it allowed me to create my own cartoon movies with already created characters, backgrounds, music and even scene techniques. For example zoom ins and fade outs. This website had everything that a young talented movie producer would want. Through this website it would allow you to express your imagination and creative ideas as well as edit your movies to your interest.

During my trial with Go Animate I have gain a slight knowledge into what a producer is faced with when editing a film as well as the camera angles needed to entice his/her viewers. By using this website Go Animate I have gained more experience in making animation movies and have acquired many skills. These skills include knowing when to use camera angles to create emotion from viewers as well as learning that the facial emotion on characters is an importing key when communicating with the audience.These skills will forever live with me as I pursue my studies in subjects like IT.

Below is a screen shot during the making of my first animation called Stick Figure Brawl. The final video is also below. So enjoy!!!!!

Journal 1

Hi everyone!!!!
My recent experience with Flickr was awesome. This site allows you to post your favourite pictures and videos sharing them withfamily and friends.

My first postings on Flickr was that I cut out sandcastles and pasted them on different backgrounds using Photoshop. I found this task quite easy as I have had past experiences with Photoshop and are quite familiar with the tools availible.

After I finished editing all the picturers I quickly uploaded all of the pictures to Flickr. Without the Flikr guild this process would of taken much longer.

Through this task i have learnt how to use the website Flickr as well as improve my skills in Photoshop.

Hope you enjoy these extremely cool sandcastles!!!!!
