End of the Year Project

  For my project, I knew that I wanted to do something related to aliens, which I have been very fascinated with as of late. For the most part I just combined things that I thought looked cool- a girl in a cute dress with a tv head, flowers, a UFO, etc. My project is supposed to be an informational poster on the basics of how to successfully abduct cute girls. To show the flow of info, I incorporated the facts as though they were part of the beams of light coming down to abduct the girl. I also included everything that was in my rubric; the flowers, the girl, the tv head, the info, the ufo, and this blog entry. I would say that although my project is rather simple looking, I am very pleased with how it came out and I think that it's very cute and fun. I also changed the hue/saturation of the dress to change it from red to a light pink so that it would match the flowers, ufo and rays of light. 

Lesson 2 Adobe Flash Questions

1) Name two primary differences between Mergeable Shapes and Drawing Objects.

- Mergeable Shapes literally merge together and become one shape and when taken apart, it's like taking one shape apart and pieces are missing. This does not occur with Drawing Objects. Also, Mergeable Shapes require layers if you don't want the shapes to be torn apart, while Drawing Objects do not.

2) What tool would you use to manipulate individual points that make up a shape or path?

- The selection tool.

3) What three advantages does isolating artwork on a layer offer?

- You can make it look as though two images are merged, but you can still separate them without ruining the original shape if you wish to do so.

Lesson 1 Adobe Flash Questions

1) From what location can you open a document that was previously open?

- The task bar or from the main screen

2) What panel allows you to view information about a selected object, or set options for an active tool?

- The properties panel

3) What method does Flash use to automatically create animation from a starting and end point?

- They use many selected frames and combine all of them

Updated super villain

Lord Of The Rings tattoo design. White tree of Gondor and inscription on ring of power.

     This is the completed version of my villain; Vaporous Vivian. I am in a field of flowers because flowers are groovy, and so am I. Here I am slowly starting to disappear, and the coolness and the radicalness is literally radiating off of me. I am awesome. (The reason I am evil is because I steal everyone else's "cool" for myself and make everyone lame except me because I rock).

The Three Types of Superhero Origin Stories

     1) Trauma; when someone undergoes a lot of stress and develops abilities and uses them to help people. An example would be Batman. 

     2) Destiny; when someone is the "chosen one", and they realize they have abilities that they never knew about before. An example would be Harry Potter or Percy Jackson.

     3) Chance; something accidentally happens to a person and causes them to gain powers. Some example of this would be Spiderman and The Hulk.
