FRIDAY POST SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

MY BLOG APP

- Thunkable is an app-building program that allows you to develop apps without needing the knowledge of programming. I have done the tutorials from the beginning and started doing the intermediate apps, I left off at finishing the third intermediate app. So far I completed button changes, photo sharing, and screen navigation. In my opinion thunkable is okay, personally I would prefer doing actual coding so I can learn and use it in the future. But I like this because it's pretty simple and self explanatory from the blocks/pictures. And I feel like using thunkable is somewhat limited compared to ACTUAL programming.

1. 6 Shortcuts

- CTRL A = Selects everything/highlights it

- CTRL C = COPIES SOMETHING

- CTRL V = PASTES WHAT YOU COPIED

- CTRL ALT AND DRAG = DUPLICATES A LAYER

- SHIFT CTRL N = NEW LAYER

- CTRL T = TRANSFORM TOOL FOR CROPPING AND ROTATING

2. Octopus

1. In order to remove the background from the octopus, I first selected the octopus with the tool with the quick selection tool [W].

2. Then I right click the outlined image with my mouse, and clicked on the option 'Layer Via Cut' That option will make a new layer of what you outlined. After that I just deleted the original photo, and was left with the layer of my outlined copy.

3. I used the Eraser Tool [E] to zoom in on the pixels and erase the unnecessary parts, like the tree/branches, to make it look cleaner.

4. After that I had to do 'Layer Via Cut' again but this time for, the octopus legs because they were apart from each other, so I used that to transform [CTRL T] each leg onto the octopus.

5. Final step to make it look a bit more cleaner, I used the eyedrop tool [I] to copy the color on the octopus, then I used the brush tool [B] to paste that color where I needed.

3. Photo Manipulation Effect

What to Learn - in - Information Technology?

What do you already know?

I already know how to use animate cc, photoshop, a little bit of coding, video editing, and making slideshows. 

What do you want to learn?

Even if I already know a little bit about video editing and photoshop, I want  to learn more about it because video editing and photoshop is something I think is very interesting to learn about. Also, I enjoy coding/programming so it would be cool if we could learn more about it.

How will computers fit into your future?

It will fit into my future because I want to do something related to computers for my job in the future. Whether it's a software engineer or a programmer, I just like spending time on the computers, plus technology is everywhere nowadays so I would need computer skills for future jobs.
