Tutorial in Text Effects (Blogging Assignment No.2)

Metallic Text Effect

If you look at the output of the text effect, there's a reaction on the face showing or telling us "Can I really do it?" Or telling yourself that "It's hard so I it is impossible that I can create an effect like that." This effect was my first text effect assignment given by our teacher. If I would to describe the output I made using the text effect and the tutorial, I think it is perfectly done like what the tutorial shows.

Liquid-Filled Glass Text Effect

This was the second text effect that I chose using the tutorial. I was amazed by the filled-in liquid inside those letters so I managed to follow the steps on the tutorial. In the middle of the tutorial, I got confused on putting the so like crystallize liquid on the letters. Seriously, it took two hours of my time following and doing the text effect. But then, it was perfectly done and I'm proud of it.

Cookie Text Effect

This was the last effect that I followed in the tutorial. Supposedly this was not the effect I used to choose. It was something better than this. Something to do with 3D effects on the letters using the Photoshop. But unfortunately, while I was in the middle of making it, I did not notice that I got lost in the tutorial I don't remember where did I stop. I undo all those effects until it irritates me and consumed my time. It took me almost two hours making it until I saw the clock and thinking that I am running out of time. So I chose to focused on the easy tutorial and this was it. Eventually, it looks amazing in the end. I found it attractive and cool because of its unique lettering or text effect.

Lesson on the Production of the Activity

This activity was a great help for me because it will enhance more my ability in putting effects on texts. It was fun and I think I am not only who is enjoying the activity but also my co-classmates enjoy it too. In this activity, I learned how to be patient in putting different blending options on the layer style. And I learned the importance of color combination of the text effects that I can apply in the future activities that is waiting for me. I want to thanked my ITMM201 teacher -- Mr. Cedrick Zabala for teaching us the lesson about text effects.

Multimedia in our Society (Blogging Assignment No. 1)

How can Multimedia help us in our daily living?

Our society is filled with hi-technology things such as appliances, gadgets cars and etc. But these things won't work without the interaction of us, people.  Each gadgets and appliances was being made by a human being. Even though some factories uses machines but still those machines were made by humans. Nowadays, multimedia is getting on its way. Multimedia is media and content that uses a combination of different contents. BS in Information Technology, BS in Computer Science, BS New Media and Computer Animation, and BS Mass Communication are some of the courses that are related to multimedia. Moving on, multimedia improves the society's daily living. It is like, every month there are always latest or new in our society. Multimedia helps a lot of people and also people were glad that things like multimedia can make their lives and work easier to manage. For example in Churches, previously the churches are using an old projector known as overhead projector. Overhead projector is a variant of slide projector that is used to display images and text to audiences. It is still a form of multimedia because of the combination of text and images but it consumes energy and time because there are these hard plastics that serve as papers that must be turned every now and then. Now because of hi-technology and the advancement of multimedia, overhead projectors was turned into LCD projectors which is a type of video projector that displays image, videos, or computer data on screens or any flat surface. Beside of being small and more portable it is also less energy consuming and a little bit less time consuming.

As an IT student, cite some examples of on how you can use Multimedia?

As a beginner in the field of Information Technology, I learned photo editing using Adobe Photoshop that was taught to us in our previous ITMM course or subject. As of now since I was already taught how to edit photos, I can apply or use it to entertain people. I can make people laugh by creating funny pictures but not only photos, I can also create invitations like weddings, birthdays, and etc. I also explored making videos but I only had a hard time putting an audio on it. So, until now I keep on practicing and exploring the world of technologies, multimedia, and so on.

In the future, how can you Multimedia be part of your chosen field/career?

In the future, I can apply and use it by entertaining people. This is what my field is about, to entertain people. IT web developers, is kind of a hard task but this is what I want. I want people will be entertained and be amazed of what I have done in future.

The blogs that I will be posting soon are all related to ITMM 102 which is the course or subject I am taking this summer.
