Today in e-Com I made a butterfly. I used the tools to change the shade of each peace of the wings to a different color. Then I used the clone tool to make the wings look like they were beating. I will use this experience to make my next projects better. If I got to do this project again I would keep the colors them same. However I would take more time using the clone tool to make the wings look like they were beating.

This is the third picture of ONW we created. This one we created by using the magnetic lasso to take the ravens head out of its original picture. Then we adjusted the settings and added different pictures around it and adjusted the settings on it too. We also used the clone stamp to take light poles out of the picture. I will use this experience to make photoshop documents with the magnetic lasso and the clone stamps. If I got to do this project again I would take more time using the clone stamp to take out the light poles. I would keep the coloring and effects on the raven and photos of the school the same.

This is the second photoshop document of ONW that we made. This one we made by taking a picture of the school and writing Northwest over it in the type mask tool. Then we added a gradient in the school colors. We edited the photo behind it to make it lighter.  In this project I learned how to use the type mask tool and how to adjust the photos. If I had to do this project again I would keep everything the same, the only thing I would change is the direction of the gradient. I will be able to draw from this tutorial for future photoshop projects.

We made and invasive species website in e-Com this week. We used dreamweaver to create a website from scratch. We put in all the information and coded the website according to some informational videos. We got to chose out color palette and fonts. This website was made to increase invasive species awareness. If I had to do this project again I would keep the colors and fonts the same. I would change the logo background.

This week we made three different pictures of ONW. The first is the one in the right, which says ONW over a picture of the school and the school compass logo. In this project we used photoshop, we extracted the backroad from the compas and made it somewhat transparent. Then we used the type tool to write ONW and made that somewhat translucent. What I learned form this project I show to use the beackground extracting tool and how to use layers in Photoshop. I will apply this knowledge for the next time we use photoshop. If I made this again I would center the compass better.
