~Big Huge Lab~

Journal 10

Today I used an internet based program called Big Huge Lab. This internet program allows you to add cool features to already existing pictures. For example a mosaic and puzzle.

My task today was to create a mosaic and a puzzle. When using this program it was very easy as you only had to upload the pictures that you wanted to add these features to. This program is user friendly and only takes a few seconds to complete. The program was very easy to use and fun to work with.

This website is a quick and easy to use when trying to create affects on your favourite pictures. Here is an image I created earlier. http://www.bighugelabs.com/

~Wordle~

Today I used a program callled Wordle. This internet application allows users to type in a range of words. The application will then produce a cloud image from those words. This program also adds colour and textures to the words creating a fun and exiting image.

This program is user friend and requires minimal time to create your image. It is easy to use and only requires a few clicks. http://www.wordle.com/ Here is an image I created earlier.

~Prezi~

Journal 8

Today I used a program called Prezi. It allowed me to add a variety of picture on a particular topic. To complete this task I had to use a tutorial describing the key feature of using this program Prezi.

After finishing my design layout I was then told to embed it to my blog. Although during this process I was unsuccessful as the only thing you could see was a plain white screen. One feature of Prezi that I found difficult was determining the size of the pictures and texts.

I would still reccommend this program to others as it allows users to quickly produce an online poster using easy already created features. http://www.prezi.com/

Today I experimented with a web base tool that allowed me to embed a slide show of my favourite anime. This task was very easy as a search engine found all the images that were used in the slide show and only minimal programing was needed.

~Macromedia Fireworks~

Journal 6

Hey guys,
Today I use the program Macromedia Flash to produce my images of some cool fruit people. I took pictures of some fruits and added life like features to them using other fruits.

When I had finished the 12-15 images of fruit people I then used Google “Picasa” to upload the photos for free for public viewing. http://www.picasaweb.google.com/

This cool online program allows me to upload up to 1 gigabyte of photos to share with the public as well as friends and families. It is user friendly and does not require much work when uploading the photos.

During my time at using both Macromedia Fireworks and Google “Picasa” I have found there is a variety of tools and programs out there that people can use to share their photos. Although there are so many programs out there to choose from I believe its best to have a small knowledge and experience at all of them. As it is better to know how to do things using multiple programs rather than just using one program over and over again.

Below is a small taste of what I have created.

~Adobe Flash CS3 Professional~

Journal 5

Today I used the program Adobe Flash CS3 Professional to create a small m0ving car animation. To help us complete this flash movie I used a small tutorial from the following website. http://www.baycongroup.com/flash/01_flash_5_tutorial.htm

After I had completed my flash aniamtion we were then asked to make one of our own changing the car and the buildings in the animation. Through this task I have learnt the basic components of using the Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and how to follow some basic program tutorials.
