Decide for yourself what aspect of the digital media class (lecture and/or lab) you want to reflect on or explore further in your blog post for this week.
This week in the digital lab I was really intrigued by learning all the different tools and filters that are in Fireworks. It was very interesting to learn how to change photographs from its original form into a different picture using a variety of tools. We learned how to create basic shapes and how to alter them, add textures, and add different tints and shades to the colours. All the information that I learned in this class will be very beneficial for the poster and/or C.D cover assignment.
In this week’s lecture we learned many new terminologies, most of which involve colour. I was aware of the colour wheel from high school, but it was good to be refreshed about how to use it, and how it works. I was able to remember how to find complementary colours, analogous colours, and monochromatic colours using the colour wheel and am now aware of the definitions of each. I am also now aware of how to add tints and shades to colours and which colours really complement each other.
We also went through a variety of radio stations and looked at the demographics and formats of each. We were able to see statistics as to what radio stations were more popular in Canada and the United States. It was interesting to see how the demographics in both countries are very different from each other, as we have very different preferences when it comes to the choice of music.
Overall this week I learned a lot about colour and fireworks, which will be very helpful in many different classes, and future assignments.
