Intro: This is an Intro Video: kxjchcvckjv

This is my audio story focusing on what makes a good driver good.

Out of all of the tools and techniques that were associated with the readings/videos I choose to utilize the selective focus tool to blur my background and focus on other predominate objects in my poster. Like Brian says, your eyes are naturally drawn to the center object in your photo. In my photo the center object (the moon) is not hat i want the main focus to be. I want it to be on the mermaid and Roberts hall. So as Brian instructed in the video I went to the filters tab in the top, then blur gallery, then iris blur. I made selections on Roberts hall, the mermaid, airplane, and the title. I then hit the shift key to independently the blur to the selected object. From this I created a slight blur because for each object I selected I turned down the intensity of the blur using the dial in the middle. I really liked this tool because I was able the allow people to focus on the parts that i want them to focus and not the objects I don't ...

Topic Introduction My audio topic is inspired by the question, why are people driving fast than considered reckless and people driving slower than you considered annoying? I plan to center my audio topic around the idea of qualities make a driver good or bad.  Character and Experts Already in my audio story I utilized on of my friends who talked about  time where she found her self in what she thought was a dangerous situtation with her friend. Her friend didn't think he was being dangerous or reckless but her and her other friends in the car thought he was. For the expert that I would like to use are the people that determine if someone is driving dangerously. I plan on utilizing the High Point University security officers to get their opinion on when they think they should pull someone over. Then I was going to do some research on what they teach in drivers education courses to understand the standard. Finally, I am going to get the opinions of friends on campus ...

Scope Throughout tackling this project I knew that I really needed to buckle down in class and pay close attention to the instructions that were given. Making sure I knew how to transfer one image onto another, making sure that the image is a smart image, or how to cut the image apart. I found my self having to run from class to the library so that I do not lose any information from the lecture. I think that the over all scope of this project was a challenge but beneficial to learning about the Photoshop software.  Meme Explained The two men in front Billy McFarland (right) and Ja Rule (left), who produced and promoted a "luxury music festival" entitled Fyre Festival in order to promote their new app Fyre. During the Fyre Festival's opening weekend, the event experienced problems related to security, food, accommodations, medical services and artist relations, resulting in the festival being postponed indefinitely.

Using Audition Every week we are tasked to watch videos on how we are to use the softwares to our advantage. While this task has been proven to help in the end, getting there was a challenge. I found my self having to re-watch the videos and then clicking back to the soft ware to make sure I did it correctly. It took me a while to understand how to use the razor tool, but once I had my friend who had taken the class last semester to help me the processed seemed to become more natural. I think if I were to already knew everything then the process would have taken me fifteen minuets to complete. I do not think what we are doing is necessarily hard until you understand and get the hang of each tool and how it is used. Videos:  While watching some of the videos, I found some to be helpful and some to be why would I need to know this? I really appreciated the video on how to use the razor tool from Mike Russel. Before watching, I attempted to figure out how to use it on my own ...

Scope of Assignment Social media has become a platform for society to make us feel relevant in the world. It has become a place were people are marketing at time an artifical life style where they make there insecurities perfection through the use of photofilters. We have been task as a class to make an artifical mask to unatheticate the real world. The Process For the photos that I have chosen, I decided to go abstract in my filters by playing with the use of three adjustments, brightness/contrast, exposure/gamma correction, and the one that to the photo to extreme, threshold. When I first clicked on the threshold tool I was taken back by the drastic change of the photo. I set the filter to be 98, as well as the exposure be -0.17, gamma correction -0.91, brightness to be -21, and contrast -1. These photo filters may show a lie but they can also create and enhance an image of art. Photos
