HULK SMASHING HALLOWEEN PLANS!!!!!

Today, I call to your attention that Nicole personally updated me on what we covered in Illistrator. I learned all about how to "crystallize" and "bloat" lines. Some of the Tools in Illistrator are amazing! I know how to create stratigraphic columns. Its cool that I can draw a box, draw lines through the box and have illustrator automatically partition the box into it's seperate layers so I can fill them with sedimentary patterns. Cool Cool Stuff! I have no Question's

Today my plans are to watch "THE INCREDIBLE HULK" with my wife Michelle. I did so and THE MOVIE WAS SO AWESOME! We chowed down on candy as we watched the superpowered steriod HULK smash cars, destroy blazing Humvees, and take on THE ABOMINATION! WHAAA HAA HAA! Soo cool! Also the coolest of all, is at the end "TONY STARK" walks in to talk to the disheartened general. so is IRONMAN going against the HULK in the next movie?!?! I can't wait for what Marvel Comics comes out with next. We'll our Halloween was so so awesome, and I dressed all up like the Hulk and ran around Campus acting like a Gorilla Freak Ape! HULK SMASH!!!! HAHAHAHA

Favorite Haloween Costume!

I liked learning about the Group tool in Illistrator. It is convenient and useful for quick illustration of graphics. Also I liked the relationship between how clips that are not in the folder can be embedded into the same folder so nothing goes offline. I learned much about the following: Layers Pallet, Place and imbedd an image, Make an image transparent Locate an object, Dublicate using select and alt, aligh and distribute pallet, and exporting.

I have no Questions

This is By far my favorite Costume Ever! I had aluminum dryer coils around my arms and legs and I was fitted inside a hot and sweaty box. I Loved that Halloween! It was I believe 3rd Grade

Yes on 8

Today my ahh haaa moment was when I Learned about the line tools and how I can manipulate, scale and rotate them ect...Photoshop is for photos, but illistrator is for the more artistic type I feel. Just learning about how similar the programs are is also intriquing to me.

I have my extra Credit Panorama. I am emailing it to you. I hope to get FULL POINTS for 2 hours of good effort.

What do I want to know about my future? I want to know what kind of society my children and grandchildren will be raised in. I want to know just how bad society will be by then. If I knew I could make an active effort throughout my life in preventing it come to pass. One such thing that will throw our society into the garbage can (morally speaking) is if Proposition 8 on Gay Marriage is not passed. Look at the Photo below.

PHOTOSHOP 8

My favorite tool I learned about was the AUTOMERGE tool! oh my heck this is so so useful, I loved learning about this, I have no questions and when I was a kid I had a graveyard superstition. My friend and I held our breath when we crossed the graveyard on the bus. one day I poked him and he blew snot all in his hands!

Here is the Assignment #8 with before and after photos

Tool’s Used - Clone Tool (missing backpack, missing person – see photo comparisons), MANUAL photo merge process took the following: Transform tool, crop tool, warp tool, eraser tool, burn tool, dodge tool. Opacity adjustments ect. I adjusted levels, by using the adjustment>layers pallet. I got rid of the hazy look.

Here is also Friday's Mini Assignment. I after manual merging, I used several tools to replace the sky, including transform tool, eraser, marquee tool, selection tool, move tool, and level adjustment tools. It looks much different from the original 2 photos. See for yourself!

I Have allways wanted to Merge Photos Together! This was by far the coolest thing I learned today. How I can use the Eraser tool with a low opacity to erase an overlying layer to blend sharp lines out of the picture. I learned warp, transform, level tools ect, help in aligning my images side by side - to match. I love learning about photoshop, It's so so awesome

I have no questions

I am not a major sports fan, I have gone to several football games here and there but I prefer watching sports that I have personally been involved in such as swimming, triathlons, track, cross country and marathoning. ect. These are the sports that I am passionate about.

Below is Wednesday's Mini Assignment. The photo on top is the refined image, while the original is below. I used the Crop tool, rotating canvas tool, burn tool, dodge tool, sharpen filter, and adjusted the levels using layer>adjustments>levels option and selecting the eyedroppers respectivly. Looks better huh? Awesome. In this photo is my wife and two of her friends about 12 years ago. Shes on the Left!

Favorite Fall Activity

Today the coolest thing I learned was the burn and dodge tools. Just by the stroke of one of these tools, I can make suble and realistic changes in any photograph or scanned image with the click of a mouse. I also found interesting the paint bucket tool can actually get rid of unwanted noise in a scanned picture, by increasing tolerance.

I have no questions.

My favorite fall activity used to be raking leaves with my dad. Of course this was a long time ago when I did so, but It was enjoyable raking a big leaf pile and being thrown in!

Rotation, Cropping, Color Correction. Friday Mini-Assignment

Today I learned how to make awesome changes to text. I learned how to make shapes and apply a variety of tools for use in creating stunning text visuals. The above picture is modified from photoshop. The day was cloudy and modifying that color scheme looks unnatural, but I did lower the brightness and modified saturation values. I also fixed the horizon by rotating the canvas, and Cropping it. All tools for this assignment were used in the modification of the above picture.

I have no questions, and thank Nicole for a well written concise test. :)

My favorite Date was clearly the time I took Michelle Ice skating. We had just met me, and decided to dump her previous date so she could go with me. It was our first date, and we held hands. LOOK WHAT IT LED TO!!! She's now my wife, and were going to be Parents! Whoo Hoo!

Here is the Original copy of the modified photo. :)

Photoshop Rules!!!

AAAAAHH ITS THE OVERGROWN PUMPKIN MONSTER!!!! Photoshop is the coolest program ever! This is simply a pic I edited to show contrasting colors. The tools I used were the quick select tool, transform tool, and manipulating holding shift. (I think this is a pretty cool pumpkin! But hey, the coolest thing I learned today is rotating canvas, selecting closely related colors with the magic wand tool and quick select tool.

I will do Friday's assignment using these tools. Hey Jeff DIIIIIIIIE! haha. No questions

My worst injury happened at Snowbird ski resort. I broke my leg skiing down the moguls when I was like 10 years old. The worst part about the break is not that it hurt like heck, but that my injury canceled my families trip to Hawaii. But we eventually made it out there :)

Favorite Season

I love Photoshop! The best thing I learned today is just how similar the key commands are to final cut pro. If you hold Shift it keeps the aspect ratio the same just like in FCP, and Control T ect was also informative. My favorite tools of all time in photoshop are the magnetic lasso tool and the clone stamper!

I have no questions.

My favorite season is definately the Fall time of the year. The colors are beautiful, the temperature is perfect, and my wife loves to go on little hiking trips with me to see the leaves. This Pic is on the back of Mount Timpanogos. Beautiful!

Pet Story

Today, my Ahh Haa moment occurred while the review was taking place. I was exploring Excel and seeing how I can manipulate my different axis, when finally I understood how! WOW!

I have no questions

My favorite pet story was with Teddy, our famous Labradoodle Dog in St. George. THAT DOG HAS SO MUCH ENERGY!!! It is really fun to run around the house with him cause he would chase you, and then he would run away when we tried to chase him. There was one time that Teddy was flying MACH 2 down the hallway and I jumped out at him from behind the corner and BAAM! Teddy hit the wall. He is actually kinda blind cause there is so much hair in front of his eyes. :) THIS DOG IS THE COOLEST DOG EVER!!!!

Most exciting adventure!! THE TRENCH!

Today's Ahh Haa moment was clearly when I learned how Excel Graphs are made and how the coordinating axiz are both summed or averaged as well as how data plots can be changed or modified.

Does my graph (due Friday) have to include actual data points found in my references?

If I had unlimited money, the highest most exciting adventure would for me be to build an underwater city in the Marianas trench. There are places there that have never been seen by the eyes of man. To coexist with strange deep water organisms, and to "light it up" with our unlimited supply of money would be awesome. Below is a picture of some of the creatures we would likely find at the bottom of the trench. COOL!

Excell Rocks

Today was one of the coolest classes I ever had in Geo 230. I learned how to actually calculate things in Excell. We calculated the differences of moon crater parameters with area. Sorting is pretty cool as well as the FILL HANDLE

I have no questions.

My Favorite Breakfast food is French Toast with plenty of cinnamon and Powdered Sugar. DELICIOUS!

What instrument I want to play.

Today I really enjoyed learning about Excel and how to simply modify columns/rows ect. Merging cells and formatting text was something that will be useful for years to come.

I have a question about the Test. So how do we plan on preparing for the test? How are we to know the "specific" technical terms of what things are in the software? I feel being tested in this manner is not really how we best apply our knowledge. If I know where things are, and how to do them exactly, I would expect to get full points on the test. Let me know, please.

If I could pick any instrument to learn, Piano would be my first choice because of how needed it is in the church and elsewhere. If I wanted to truly become professional, I would learn how to use my vocal cords. I feel a professional vocal career would be much more beneficial than being a professional at any other instrument. Piano would help in the general things like church, but I feel it would be more fun to vocalize music.

My little brother is the Wierdest

Today the ahh haa moment was clearly the editing toolbar in Adobe Acrobat professional. For some reason I really like editing in Adobe cause it is less problematic than word, its easier to use, it is more customizable, and by far is more useful.

I don't have any questions at all.

My weirdest relative is definately my little brother. Just look at his face and you'll see what I mean . He loves girls at his youthful age and is just a goofy guy all around :) Well I am probably a little weirder than my brother in most respects. :D
