Yes, i know a song but it might not be about the change in the world.

important to you.Why is this important to you?
Do they have a website?
World Vision Canada. It is important to me because the provide thing like clean water, nutritious food, health care and access to education when you sponsor a child in just $35/month.  Yes they do have a website: www.WorldVision.ca 

7) What ideas do you have for media
arts projects that we could do individually
or as a class to help contribute to these
organizations that are important to us?

We can create posters like our magazine assignments and let others know that there are people in the world who need clean water, nutritious food, health care and access to education.


 





Class Task #4: Understanding Resolution

16 01 2008

1) Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?

I Think that 300 dpi image will be more clearer than 72 dpi image because 300 dpi image will have more pixels than 72 dpi image. The more pixels per inch there are, the clearer and more detailed a picture can be.

2) What would a picture created at 1 dpi look like?

The picture created with 1 dpi couldn’t be seen because the picture will be very blurry and there wouldn’t be much detailed.

Fruit Bowl using Magic Wand and Lasso Tool

Questions and Answers:

 1. What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?

 I used a combination of the magic wand tool and the magnetic lasso tool, and the eraser.  I use magnetic lasso tool to cut out the upper part of the picture and I use magic wand to cut the down part and I use eraser to take out the small pieces that were left over.

2. Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?

The magic wand and eraser tool was most productive because it take the similar colour that we select which made the work much easier.

3. Experiment with the following:
After you make a selection in the menu and go to
     a) Select > Modify > Expand
     b) Select > Modify > Contract
     c) Select > Feather
What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.

Expand makes the selection larger and contract makes the selection smaller. Feathering make the edges of selection faded. Feathering can round of the edges of the selection and makes the image look soft.
