LAB #1 REFLECTION by Jorge Carty Diaz



               In this first lab, we started using Photoshop CC to put our 5 best photos that we took with the camera, label each photo angle and label our work by putting our name on it. In this lab I placed 5 photos in the work-space that represented a close up, high point, low point, angle, and eye level images. I resized the pictures by pressing "command+T" to resize and while resizing the photo i kept the "Shift" button pressed down to not mess the image. Then, i selected a type of font to label each picture but before that i had to change the font's color so i can make it visible in the work-space. After labeling all the photos, i added a stroke on the words to make it a little bit easier to read. Also, i added a shadow behind the letters to not make the it look so flat with the background. At the end i labeled my lab by putting my name, class name, date and # of lab. i also used the stroke on those words but i decided to not put the shadow behind it because i did not like how it looked. After all this, i started to do my background, to do this background i used the "Gradient Overlay" to not make it a flat one colored background. I used white in the middle and gray on top and bottom. I believe this skills are important for a web designer because a web designer will be using this basic tools on basically every project and without these skills, you won't be able to web design, these are the basics for a web designer.

COMPARING THE DIFFERENT IMAGE FILE FORMATS by Jorge Carty Diaz

Image
1. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image that was created by US-based software writer Steve Willhite while working at the bulletin board service provider CompuServe on June 15, 1987 and now days is used by a lot of people for different purposes. 2. A raw file is the image as seen in the camera's sensor, this allows you to process the image to your liking. 3. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) have two sub formats called JPG/Exif usually used by photographic equipment and JPG/JFIF are often used in the WWW. 4. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression and it was created as an improvement, non-patented replacement for GIF.

My experience in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Image
This experience was great! I loved everything i saw in the museum but of course, there are some stuff that could have been better. Let's start with the negatives so we can finish up with the positives. One negative aspect about the trip was the waiting time outside. It really was a pain to have to wait for around 30-40 minutes outside in the rain. It really didn't feel good but i believe the staff was doing everything as fast as they could to get every single student inside the museum. In the museum i got to talk to many representatives of different programs around New York and they gave us stuff like posts its, pens, little notebooks, pins, stickers, etc. These programs offered many activities, some of them paid and some others free, and these programs were really interesting because one of them offered game development classes, others musical classes and more. I was surprised by the variety of stuff you were able to sign up for, and all of them were really nice and friendly.

Lab Quince | JS Drum Kit & Clock | Jorge Carty

Image
In lab 15, I was required to create a website that allowed the user to play sounds from a drum kit using the keyboard, to be more exact, with keys like "A", "S", "D", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L". Also, this lab has a clock that tells you the real-time and it's constantly updating. To develop this idea I had to design the clock and the drum kit in HTML and CSS, and add its functionality with JavaScript. For the drum kit, divs were made with specific data-keys and using audio tags that also react to data-keys which makes the sounds work, and the other makes the div get highlighted once you press a key in the drum kit. A function in JavaScript was also made in order to allow the user to spam the sounds, otherwise, the sound would play and the user would have to wait a couple of seconds to play it again. As for the Clock, it was made using divs and changing their form by modifying the radi
