SECOND SECTION
The movie I chose was The Princess and The Frog and I used the Iron man poster for inspiration. I first selected a picture of the princess from the movie and got a picture of a frog. I used the magic wand tool to get these images by themselves and placed them side by side, using transform to make them the desired size. I put a stormy sky picture as the background to get the Iron Man feel and used the text tool to make the title of the movie and make the letters bold and in all caps like Iron Man. I used the blur tool to soften the edges of the characters and the movie title alike. I then used the transform tool to properly alight the font. So I am left with a Princess and the Frog poster but in the bold and dark style of Iron Man. :)

1st Semester final- Part 1


First section of 1st period final:
I selected two pictures of my dear friend Jennah, two that I felt depicted her personality to a good extent. I then opened then both in photoshop and I preceded to delete the background around the pictures using the magic wand tool and the eraser tool. I took the eyedropper tool and selected a blue/green color from the ocean in the first picture and used the paint bucket tool to make it the background color of my final piece. I dragged my images of Jennah onto my ocean-y background and used transform to make them the right size. I made sure the desired picture was in the front the other behind. I used the blur tool to put the final touched on this piece of work of my lovely amiga Jennah and used the brush tool to add final texture in the background.

The new mac computer than Lilia did her current event report on could
be used if our school system all of a sudden got a lot of money and
replaced our current computers with the new, fast one. It would help
us by allowing us to do stuff really fast and making us more time
efficient. With that new technology, too, we would be learning about
the new and the best and we would have a good idea how this technology
would work in the future.

The new energy efficient clusters that Evan reported on could help us
in a classroom by improving our storage and reducing the amount of
energy that we use as a school. Which is always a good thing.

The new eye implants that Anna reported on could help us in a
classroom by making people who couldnt see that well able to do their
school work better.

A new material (metal) has been discovered that can boost computer
data storage compacity and save energy at the same time. Usual 20 gb
chip can now hold about 1 terabite which means there's 50 times as
much storage due to the new alloy. The new metal can withstand twice
the temperatures as the old material. Dr Jageish is the discoverer-
director of national science foundation center for advanced materials
and smart structures.
