In this activity we are about to make a logo that suits to a meditation application. This output would help a lot for us to develop our skill on designing our own logo. Although our output is not that extra perfect but it serves as a stepping tool for us to develop our knowledge in editing and designing. 

_______________

This is our MOODBOARD, this is where we adapted our logo. As you can see, it shows that the human in the photo is somewhat relaxing and/or meditating by having a yoga activity and you can feel the vibe of chilling isn’t it? Plus the hues that were applied on it are purple, blue and pink that gave a positive impact. 

Of course, before coming up with our final logo we needed to make a SKETCH to have a guide for our conceptualized logo. After sketching, we have vectorized it using pen tool in Photopea. 

Atlast! Here’s our final logo for our meditation application. 

To be honest, we had a hard time on creating it since our Photoshop is outdated we can’t convert it to something that what we’ve imagined. But nevertheless, it still came up nicely. We also used the word “Still” for our logo, as that word describes calmness and silence that suits the usage of the meditation application. 

In creating a layout, it’s too important for us to consider the Fundamentals and Principles of design for our work. Proximity and Alignment are the basic principles we have applied on our work, though everything is important; we more focused on the 2 principle of design. As for the fundamentals of design, well almost everything are applied to showcase a better outcome of our work. 

***********************

Thank you for ready until the end! I can’t deny the fact that I and my partner really had a hard time doing this activity. We had a lot of revisions and choices on what final output would we showcase. 

Yet, at the end of the day we learned something that everything should be considered to have a better design. 

Many expertise might thought that this is just too simple to achieve, but for us; time and effort really matters most especially for the beginners like us. 

On this activity, we are about to make 3 outputs using Adobe Photoshop with the Application of 5 Principles of Designs which are PROXIMITY, WHITE SPACE, ALIGNMENT, CONTRAST & REPETITION. For those who doesn’t have an idea yet about the Adobe Photoshop, well it is a software that is extensively used for raster image editing, graphic design and digital art. It makes use of layering to allow for depth and flexibility in the design and editing process, as well as provide powerful editing tools, that when combined, are capable of just about anything.

But, eventually I wasn’t able to edit my outputs using Adobe Photoshop. So, as an substitute I used Photopea as it has some the same tool with Adobe Photoshop.

Nevertheless, I still manage to create my output by exploring Photopea.

A4 FLYER DESIGN

This is my created Flyer, well it is not that perfect and beautiful yet I’ve tried so hard to make it. I want to follow the 5 Principles of design which is a must to do when creating a design. Eventually I applied all the 5 principles and I used Photopea to create my output.

RE-DESIGN POSTER

This kind of my favorite, editing and arranging stuff. As we can see there’s a lot of changes from the before to after of the photo. My goal is to apply the 5 Principle of Designs. As we can see, the before photo is a little mess that’s why we re-design it to make it more elegant and presentable. 

CREATING CUSTOMS SHAPES

I can say that this took me almost 2 hours, it’s too difficult for as it is my first time but still I tried my best and give my 100% patience on it. What I aimed is to make a poster using my created vector shapes. Of course, the Principle of Designs in creating a poster is still a must to apply, therefore I’ve done a well finished output.

_____________________________________________

Well, I almost fail this subject. Joke! But this activity really challenge me as it is too difficult most especially to a first timer like me. Yet, a perseverance is what we need.

On this activity, we are about to make 4 outputs using Adobe Photoshop. For those who doesn’t have an idea yet about the Adobe Photoshop, well it is a software that is extensively used for raster image editing, graphic design and digital art. It makes use of layering to allow for depth and flexibility in the design and editing process, as well as provide powerful editing tools, that when combined, are capable of just about anything.

But, eventually I wasn’t able to edit my outputs using Adobe Photoshop. So, as an substitute I used Photopea as it has some the same tool with Adobe Photoshop.

Nevertheless, I still manage to create my output by exploring Photopea.

DIGITAL COSMETOLOGY

 This is my output for Digital Cosmetology which is we are tasked to beautify our image by making it smooth and flawless skin. To make this happen, I’ve used the sharpening brush tool in Photopea and of course our patience is a must to finish the output into something better. Well here, I enjoyed a lot as it is too easy for me to identify its skin tone by the help of my reference image. I had fun because it feels like I’m just doing a make up activity, though I’m not into cosmetic stuff but still it’s fun! I’ve used brush tool, with the help of color fill and opacity option to have a successful output.

======

COLORIZING A BLACK & WHITE PHOTO

To be honest, since I’m using Photopea I had a hard time on doing this activity as I have a limited source of brushes. Yet, it’s too easy and exciting most especially if you’re using an Adobe Photoshop. You only need a brush tool of course and use the clipping mask option and convert it into smart object to start the brushing effect then that’s it!

======

BRUSH EFFECT PORTRAIT

This is too cool for me. Out of 4 activities I’ve done, this is one of the most useful for me; of course as a communicator and creator I can use this as my design to be more creative in making my outputs. I’ve used the gradient fill to have a darker canvas and with the help of torn paper it serves as my aesthetic design on the side plus the clipping mask option to insert the image. I also added some cutie image to make it more fun and interesting. I can say that it’s not too difficult if you’ll just enjoy on doing it.

======

TRENDY SOCIAL MEDIA POST DESIGN

I can’t deny that I really had a difficulties because I am using a Photopea, as it is kind of different from Adobe Photoshop and I lack resources. Yet, if you want to have a better output; you will push through on exploring and developing your output. 

Just like what I’ve said, by doing this activity we also need a huge patience and effort in order to have a better outcome for our activity.

Come and join me as we take a closer look at some different types of image files.

I know this would help you a lot most especially to a multimedia artist out there!

GIF

GIF (.gif)

GIF or Graphics Interchange Format files are widely used for web graphics, because they are limited to only 256 colors, can allow for transparency, and can be animated. GIF files are typically small is size and are very portable.

Compression: Lossless - compression without loss of quality Best For: Web Images Special Attributes: Can be Animated, Can Save Transparency

It was developed by a team at the online services provider CompuServe led by American computer scientist Steve Wilhite on 15 June 1987. 

This format is kind of catchy, most especially in social media. As I, a social media user would like to see a moving picture to help me visualize the image further. On the other hand, due to intermittent internet connection, it might have an image corruption that would lead to unidentified image.

ADVANATGES vs. DISADVANTAGES:

ADVANTAGES:

1. Small File Size

2. Professional Looking Images

3. Convey Messages Better

DISADVANTAGES:

1. Limited Color Pattern

2. Editing Is Not Possible

3. Internet Connection Matters

As a communicator, I like using this format when talking with someone on social media to express myself more. It also good to avoid misunderstanding. Aside from that, adding GIF on my design would attract my audience’s interest more.

PNG

PNG (.png)

PNG or Portable Network Graphics files are a lossless image format originally designed to improve upon and replace the gif format. PNG files are able to handle up to 16 million colors, unlike the 256 colors supported by GIF.

Compression:  Lossless - compression without loss of quality Best For: Web Images Special Attributes: Save Transparency

The PNG format was created in December 1994 and has been stable since March 1995. Since then, the specification has become much more readable and has gained valuable tutorial and developer information.

This format often used if size is not an issue and the image is complex, because a PNG file holds more information than a JPG. It's also ideal to use a PNG for a graphic image, such as the icon below, which is used on the TechSmith Snagit product page.

Pros: – minimum compression loss. The image quality is not changed by any compression ratio; – format is suitable for storage of intermediate versions of the image. When you re-save image, quality is not lost; – PNG supports a large number of colors. PNG-8 (256 colors) and PNG-24 (about 16.7 million. Colors); – it supports multi level of transparency. Image has the 256 levels of opacity from fully opaque to fully transparent; – it’s possible to work with layers; – the ability to add to the file meta-data; – small size files.

Cons: – doesn’t support animation; – ill-suited for working with full-color images; – can not store multiple images in one file;

Now It becomes clear what caused the popularity of the PNG format among web designers. This is the only format that allows you to get images with a transparent background. For example, it is very important for creating logos – it requires the presence of a transparent background.

Personally, I more preferred on using .jpeg than .png as for me my design would look much better. Hence, I don’t disregard .png format as I know this would also help in my work.

JPEG

JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)

JPEG, which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Groups is a “lossy” format meaning that the image is compressed to make a smaller file. The compression does create a loss in quality but this loss is generally not noticeable. JPEG files are very common on the Internet and JPEG is a popular format for digital cameras - making it ideal for web use and non-professional prints. Compression: Lossy - some file information is compressed or lost Best For: Web Images, Non-Professional Printing, E-Mail, Powerpoint Special Attributes: Can choose amount of compression when saving in image editing programs like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.

Overview of JPEG. The JPEG standard (ISO/IEC 10918) was created in 1992 (latest version, 1994) as the result of a process that started in 1986.

The most common file format in use.

The JPEG file format has been around for many years, and is support by every image editor and web browser on the market. It is also supported by every digital camera, and any video camcorder that can also take pictures. Every digital photo print shop also supports the JPEG standard. If you want a universal image format, the JPEG format is the one to choose.

ADVANTAGES:

1. High Resolution

2. Smaller File Size

3. Adjustable Compression

DISADVANTAGES:

1. Lossy Compression

2. Inflexible Application

3. No Support for Opacity

Well, aside of having disadvantage. It is still one of the best format for me, as it has a high resolution for images and the most important is having a small file size for it which is what I really need the most.

EPS

EPS (.eps)

An EPS or Encapsulated PostScript file is a common vector file type. EPS files can be opened in many illustration applications such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.

Compression: None - uses vector information Best For: Vector artwork, illustrations Special Attributes: Saves vector information

EPS is a proprietary but publicly documented format. The format specification was originally published by Adobe in the late 1980s; version 3 was first released in 1990 and published as a separate document in 1992.

The main drawback of EPS is that it needs to have adobe to produce an image, without it the image quality will turn out to be bad.

Advantages:

1. EPS files can accurately reproduce digital photos

2. The quality of the image that is produced is superior

3. Has great printed image quality

Disadvantages

1. The disadvantages of these image formats is that they are not upward scalable.

2. requires higher resolution

Well, personally I don’t use .eps format a lot. Yet, I can use this when using Adobe and this would help me to create amazing designs.

BITMAP

Bitmap (.bmp)

BMP or Bitmap Image File is a format developed by Microsoft for Windows. There is no compression or information loss with BMP files which allow images to have very high quality, but also very large file sizes. Due to BMP being a proprietary format, it is generally recommended to use TIFF files.

Compression: None Best For: High quality scans, archival copies

In 1995, David Charlap described the BMP format in detail in a two-part article in Dr.

ADVANTAGES:

Bitmap files may be easily created from existing pixel data stored in an array in memory.

Retrieving pixel data stored in a bitmap file may often be accomplished by using a set of coordinates that allows the data to be conceptualized as a grid.

Pixel values may be modified individually or as large groups by altering a palette if present.

Bitmap files may translate well to dot-format output devices such as CRTs and printers.

DISADVANTAGES:

They can be very large

They typically do not scale very well. 

I know bitmap is best for High Definition image, yet I am a little disappointed due to its bigger files and I guess it wouldn’t help me to save memory on my device. Nevertheless, I can buy a storage device to use the bitmap format, right?!

Anyways, thank you for reading my blog! This is a little tiring to read and understand, but if you wanted to have a new knowledge that could help you be format-friendly, I know this would contribute you a lot!

At this moment, we are tasked to make a photo collage using Adobe Photoshop. For those who doesn’t have an idea yet about the Adobe Photoshop, well it is a software that is extensively used for raster image editing, graphic design and digital art. It makes use of layering to allow for depth and flexibility in the design and editing process, as well as provide powerful editing tools, that when combined, are capable of just about anything.

 But, eventually I wasn’t able to edit my digital collage using Adobe Photoshop. So, as an substitute I used Photopea as it has some the same tool with Adobe Photoshop. 

Nevertheless, I still manage to create my digital photo collage.

EIFFEL TOWER ft. MAGIC KEY

With the help of my favorite feature in Adobe Photoshop/Photopea which is the magic wand, I was able to removed the background of the Key image easily and so I successfully placed it at the top of the eiffel tower to make it as the eiffel tower is holding the key. 

Well, it’s not that perfect but I had fun doing it as it is my first time on editing! Actually, this photo collage of mine is just for a beginner. I’m sure if I can have more practices and more discoveries in this software; I know I can create much better and have more outputs to share! Practice makes perfect, right?! Aside from collage, you can create variety of designs in Adobe Photoshop such us Photorealistic Mockups, Flat mockups, Flyers, Posters, Logos, Business Cards, Infographics and many more! Yet, it’s a matter of exploring and exploring to create awesome designs!

A color wheel or color circle is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle, which shows the relationships between primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors etc. Intermediate and interior points of color wheels and circles represent color mixtures. 

Color Theory is both the science and art of using color. It explains how humans perceive color; and the visual effects of how colors mix, match or contrast with each other. Color theory also involves the messages colors communicate; and the methods used to replicate color.

In this activity, we are tasked to make a color theory by our creativity in photography. This is my first time doing this, yet I enjoyed it and I find it too interesting. So without further a do, let’s take a look at my blog!

For today, I will be sharing my top 5 choices on South Korea famous food. Aside from loving Korean Pop, I also like Korean food. Well, it is not because I love k-pop that means I should also like their food, NO! It doesn’t go that way, I have my personal taste as well. But of course, I used to know those Korean food by my Korean idols, seeing them eating those food makes me feel like wanting to try it. If you want to know more, just keep on reading! :)

Here are my TOP 5 CHOICES of KOREAN FOOD, I hope this could encourage you to discover South Korean Famous Food :)

1.  SAMGYEOPSAL (삼겹살; )

It’s a popular Korean dish that is commonly served as an evening meal. It consists of thick, fatty slices of pork belly meat. The meat, usually neither marinated nor seasoned, is cooked on a grill at the diners' table.

Samgyeopsal is a must try! food of south koreans,it doesn’t differ that much with our local Filipino foods since we also like meat and sometimes we can’t take away meat from our meal. This could really help us to full our stomach even if we don’t eat rice, just by simply looking it feels like I want to eat samgyeopsal right now huhuhu

2.  KIMCHI (Hangul: 김치; Korean pronunciation: [kimtɕʰi]; English: /ˈkɪmtʃi/)

 also spelled kimchee or gimchi, is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with many seasonings. Kimchi, a staple in Korean cuisine, is a famous traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish, made with a widely varying selection of seasonings including gochugaru, spring onions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal, and etc.

Personally, I’m not a fan of side dishes but kimchi is as exemption-- I can even eat it alone without any food to be paired with. I like everything in kimchi, but for those who aren’t used to eat kimchi-- I suggest not to eat this without eating other food yet, it may upset your stomach because of it’s ingredients. But other than that, it’s really delicious!!

3.  TTEOKBOKKI (Korean: 떡볶이) 

is a Korean traditional food which has sticks of rounded rice cake as the main ingredient. ' tteok ' is the Korean word for rice cake and 'bokki' is the Korean word for something fried. Tteokbokki is divided into gungjung tteokbokki and general tteokbokki as one of Korean street foods.

It is one of my favorite! I feel hungry right now!! For me, tteokbokki is even more delicious if it’s really spicy.

4.  PATBINGSU (팥빙수, -氷水, sometimes anglicized as patbingsoo, literally "red beans shaved ice")

 is a popular Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings that may include chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and red beans. Varieties with ingredients other than red beans are called bingsu (or bingsoo).

In Filipino food, it can be classifed as scramble or shake, their taste is the same and it only differs in ingredients because has additional toppings like fruits and other sparkles. 

5. FISHCAKE (Hangeul; 어묵)   

is called "eomuk" or "odeng" (a wrong expression derived from Japanese word, "oden") in Korea. It is a processed seafood product made of ground white fish and other ingredients such as potato starch, sugar and vegetables.

I’ve tried this once but it was made by Filipino vendors and basically it’s cooked here in Philippines. I want to try it by a  Korean people, of course original is always different from the imitation one. 

Pinterest is one of the most useful application when in comes in choosing a high definition photos, aside from a good quality photos- their photos are highly credited by the owner.

This topic is kinda exciting for me, as we all know Pinterest is social media network that allows users to share images associated with project, goods, and services, and to visually discover new interests by browsing images others have posted. 

As a Mass Communication student, it is very important for us to have a good quality photos and to give a better outcome to our portraying subject -- like for example if you are in a field of Photography or Marketing, having a good quality photos would catch the attention of the people as it is clear and easy to determine what they want to deliver to the audience. So if I’m going to suggest a site or application in where you can search for a good photos, Pinterest is highly recommended for everyone and a must try!

Another thing is, it is more exciting because of it’s features -- like you can have a collaborative photos with your friends and relative! It wouldn’t be hassle for everyone to share photos! 

well, it’s my first time using this applications. I’ll show you what new application I have explore! 

First is the REDDIT app which gave me same ambiance with TUMBLR, while using this app it’s more likely using tumblr because it also have like, share and comment button which has the same specifications with tumblr. It would be better if you’ll try using Reddit. What I also like using Reddit it has a thumbs down button which symbolizes that you dislike the post of the person.

Second is the PINTEREST which really interests me. It has a feature like Instagram and the photos are in high definition which you can use it for special occasion,when you need high quality pictures, pinterest is must suggested! 

In conclusion, those application really amazed me because it has a features that some of apps doesn’t have. Where in it would be better if we can explore more and have more time to discover other applications we have and not just stick with one applications. 

Basically, we have many types of social media but for me I always used Facebook since most of my relatives and friends have facebook account, so we can communicate easily through facebook, even we can see updates of our long distance relative through it.

First is change your avatar also known as profile picture in facebook. By changing your avatar, it should be presentable and beautiful, it will be nice if your face is visible so when other people search for your facebook account it will be easily determined by your visitors and they can contact you right away. 

Second is your header or cover photo, usually this part includes not just your photo or face but since it has the bigger part of your facebook profile you can include your family and friends. In that area, they can recognize who’s your company in life or who is your circle of friends and even the members of your family.

Lastly is the biographical text, which includes where you lived, where do you study, your relationship status and you can also put the website of your other social media accounts.

So, I’ve shared some ideas on why do we need to optimize our profile on our social media accounts. Some may think that it’s just a waste of time but if we used to think deeper it could mean a lot because our profile on social media describes our personality and characteristics. 

Personally, based on my experienced before I click the confirmation of the friend request of other people, I always checked first their profile even their timeline in order to know what type of person they are.

Below, I attached my social media profile. 

Hello! As for today, I will be sharing to everyone about my thoughts in today’s generation specifically in Social Media.

So, what is Social Media? According to dictionary, it’s a websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Basically, it is a site where people can interact with each other and can be able to exchange their ideas or thoughts though they are far from each other. In present, most of us are into social media even children, adults or elderly have their own social networking site account. Well, we can’t deny the fact that social media is very important and useful to everyone…age really doesn’t matter at all by the help of social media, we can do many things, it can help to make our work much productive with the use of internet connection and other social networking sites, we can communicate to our long distance relative even to our special someone, we can even do a shopping like buying clothes, shoes, food online or any stuff that we want just by staying at home, and can even play games without going outside and spending more energy to commute or walk. So isn’t it really amazing to have social media in our life?

We have different types of social media that we should love to explore!

Personally, I’m using Facebook,_ Instagram_ and Twitter to enjoy my social life. Well, not just that because we have many social networking sites to enjoy.

Here we go, these are my top 3 Chosen fields of expertise/influencer.

ENTERTAINMENT-MUSIC

BTOB

BtoB (/ˈbiːtuːbiː/ BEE-too-bee; Korean: 비투비; acronym for  Born to Beat) is a South Korean boy band formed in 2012 by Cube Entertainment. The group consists of Seo Eun-kwang, Lee Min-hyuk, Lee Chang-sub, Im Hyun-sik, Peniel Shin, Jung Il-hoon, and Yook Sung-jae.

BtoB debuted on March 21, 2012, performing “Insane” (비밀) and “Imagine” on M Countdown.[1] The group’s debut EP, Born to Beat was released on April 3, 2012. They released their first full-length album, Complete, in June 2015. In November 2014 they made their Japanese debut with “Wow” under the Japanese agency Kiss Entertainment.

I really really love them since 2017! Yes, I’ve became a Melody (BTOB’s fandom name) almost 2 years and 7 months and still counting. Why I like them? It’s simply because I’m in love and mesmerized by their stunning voice, the first time I heard their song “It’s Okay” I was really hooked and I can’t get out of it! They’re my huge inspiration and influencer. I was touched by their perspective in life, I learned that “Patience is a Virtue” they encouraged me to pursue my desires because they say that when your still alive and kicking it’s not yet the end to push and fight for your dreams. Their words of wisdom gives me energy, they’re like my fuel that keeps my life going. Why I’m saying this because, they’ve already experienced it. It took 3 years after they got their first award in Show Champion, they also had a hard time during those days because not all people appreciates their songs and they are only recognized by few people despite of their amazing talent. BUT! They never ever gave up, they still continue their battle and now they are one of the biggest K-pop Boy group in South Korea. It only means that everything comes in a perfect timing by God’s Plan. That’s why I was inspired by them, always and forever.

They have their personal social media account, instagram.

ENTERTAINMENT-KNOWLEDGE

KOREAN DRAMA/MOVIE

I’ve watched many korean drama and movies but these dramas are my favorites. First is I really love the actress portraying the character which is Lee Ji-eun a.k.a IU. I like her drama acting skill, it’s really genuine that you would really feel the emotion she wanted to show, she’s also a singer and I also love her voice.

Lee Ji-eun (Korean: 이지은; born May 16, 1993), professionally known as IU (Korean: 아이유), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actress. While still in middle school, IU auditioned for various talent agencies with ambitions of becoming a singer.

I love the drama because the plot of the story is very interesting for me, I believe in reincarnation that’s why it catches my attention when the story tells about the life of a person in the past, it’s like it really inspires me when they portraying that would really teaches you something, that would open up your mind to avoid doing bad practices. Reincarnation is like your Karma in life, what you are doing in the past will really reflect on your future. That’s why I am inspired to do good deeds only and be nice to other people.

Not just that, because the drama itself really gives me goosebumps, I was amazed by the animation, effects and how they focuses the camera to the actor/actress, the transition and of course the background music where in I used to know BTOB my favorite k-pop group because they sang one of the OST (Original Soundtrack) of Cinderella and the Four Knights which I also like.

Personally, I was before a Business Management major in Financial Management student. I want to have my own business, earn money with my own blood and sweat because that will make me happy, to be stable in life, help the ones in need and travel my favorite places I want to visit someday. But as time passes by I’ve realized something that I can still push my dream in business, build my own establishment, and can even learn how to run a business despite of having different profession from business course, that’s why I pursue my second love which is BA-Communication, obviously I’m fond of entertainment where in I went to different path. But, I never leave business because it is my first love ever since.. when I finish my studies, I will still continue the thing I want which is having my own business. **

With the help of Chinkee Tan, he gave me a sense of enouragement and ideas on how to be wise in managing a business. He will open up your mind that luxury will not help you to have a sucessful life, instead it will fall you down.

See? The power of social media has a bigger factor in our life. It’s like a domino effect that will give a huge impact to the users.

But, don’t forget to use it in a better way, never use it to the things that would lead you into harm and would just ruin your life that God has given to us. Using social media is also a big responsibility to each one of us, it’s like playing a board game (chess) with just one wrong move you will lose your queen, in other way around… with just one wrong move it will ruin your life. So think, before you click.

**In the future, I would like to be a good contibutor to our country by the use of social media I can motivate people who’s hopeless and experiencing downfall in life. **

**We can use social networking sites to find ourself, like me…I haven’t realize yet what I really like not until I engage with entertainment. **
