F- Animation
A- My classmates, family and friends
T-I want to be beautiful
P- To inform and educate women and children tat we don't have to be thin
to be loved.

I really enjoyed this assignment. It was a lot of fun to create an animation.
The program was realatively easy to use. It was easier after I watched some
of the start up videos of how to produce an animation. This made the set up easy.
The next thing was choosen my characters. There was so many to chose from.
Then I had to decide my setting. I decided to use a restaurant for my story.
Then I had to decide what actions my characters were going to do.

I really like how my story came out. This project was a lot of fun to do.
I really enjoyed doing this animation. It is very addicting. I plan on making more animations
in the near future.

Comic Stip

F - Comic Strip

A- My classmates, friends and women

T- I want to be THIN

P- To inform and educated women and children that they

don't have to be thin to be loved.

This assignment was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed making my own characters.

It helped with my stress from my other classes. It did take me alot of time to

plan my storyline. I chose the beach scene because that is where woman usually

feel the worst about their bodies. I hope to have women realize that not everyone

can be thin and we should enjoy the beach when we get a chance to go.

Podcast Review

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus 5:35 4/11/2007 An excerpt from Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray. For more audio tailored to the lifelong learner, please visit www.learnoutloud.com

I reviewed the podcast Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray

This was an excert from the book. This was a very interesting podcast. It was about the differences about men and women.
Womens main complaint about men is that they don't listen. Men only listen for a few minutes and then they offer a solution. Women don't want solutions they want empathy.

Mens biggest complaint is that women want to change them. The try to make the man into
something that they are not. Women feel that it is their job to make the man be responsible
Men feel that the women is controlling.

The author then goes on to explain why men and women feel and act these ways.

I felt it was a very true podcast. I hope you will all enjoy it.

PODCAST Time -- The Thin Society

However, this time was easier. After all my problems with the software and finding the sound files I wanted to use, it came together well. I am very happy with my final output.

The program Audacity was not cooperating with my computer, therefore I had to use the program AVS audio editor. I have used this program before to mix music for my videos.

It was interesting to figure out how to place all the clips together. This took some time and patience.

I would like to thank www.soundjay.com for the use of heart of the sea music file.

I also used two audio clips from the sound effect cd that I had already installed on my computer.

I hope you all will enjoy my first podcast.

Podcast Planning

My podcast is going to be a continuation of my slideshare.net series.





F - Podcast - Using http://www.houndbite.com/


A- My Classmates and Women and Children


T- The Thin Society


P- To inform and educate women and children that we


don't have to be thin to be LOVED.





The next thing I did was to design my mindmap of how


I wanted my podcast to look like. I did this with Mindmap.








Then I designed my flow chart for my podcast using www.gliffy.com

Then I recorded my podcast, using AVS audio mixer. I tried using audacity and it keep

crashing my computer. So I used the program I had previously installed on my computer.

The final step which was more difficult than I thought it was going to be was to mix my recording with the music and sound clips. I had to do this step 3 times because my computer keep crashing. I finally was able to finish the product after spending my whole Sunday afternoon playing with the program.

Podcast review

The podcast I reviewed was black in America .

This was part of the series put on by CNN.

It shows a black mans struggle through out his life.

The problems he faces being black today in America.

I thought it was a very well produced podcast.

The whole series is pretty interesting.

The transitions from slide to slide and effects are

very easy on the eyes. I enjoyed listening and watching

this pod cast.

Slideshare Show : Sexism in the Media

Sexism In The Media

View more presentations from angels6889.

I really enjoyed putting together this slideshow. I hope you will like it.

Here is my final production of my Sexism in the Media. This show is to inform men and women how images in the media hurt our society. We think women have to be skinny and beautiful inorder to be accepted. I hope this show will show you that this reality is very harmfull to our culture.

A study was done on the Island of Fijji about the effects of commercials and American Television. Before TV hit the island, women were happy with who they were. It was considered normal and wealthy to be heavy on this island. Three years after TV and media arrived, Women are experiencing anorexia and the suicide rate has increased. This is because they want to look like the models they see on TV. This is not reality. Only 5% of women in this world will every look like them. Women have to learn how to love themselves and be happy with their body they were given.
We have to start to fight back.

Designing my Slideshare Slideshow

The first step I did to design my new slideshare was to make my FATP Analysis.
F: Slideshow made into a video by Slideshare.net
A: Women and men and high school students.
T: Sexism in the Media
P: To inform the public on how the media portrays women and this affects our society and our culture. It also hinders women from becoming an equal in society.
The next step was to plan how I was going to organize my data. I already had done the research for my Race, Ethnicity, Gender study class. I downloaded photos from Flickr.com. Then I took some pictures of my daughters Barbie dolls to use for one of my sections. Then I organized the photos in categories.
Then I designed my mind map. This helped a lot with the organization of the power point presentation.


After My mindmap was designed I developed a flow chart for my presentation.
I used gliffy.com to design my layout. This was a very easy program to use.

An example of Good Visual Design Slide Show

'Sunset Ceremony'

View more presentations from John J.

I chose this example as really good design.

The photos all use the rules of thirds, leading the eye, Simplification,

filling the frame. The color of most of the photos is warm colors.

The photos show texture of the water and movement. All theses

photos make you feel very serene. I love sunset's so this was very interesting

to me. My favorite thing to take photographs of is "sunsets" I used to go

chasing them everynight before I started back with school. That is the one

thing I miss the most about not having any spare time. I do on a occasion take

a break and go sunset searching. I haven't missed many sunsets this summer

because all we have had is rain.

The Truth About Puppy Mills

View more presentations from angels6889.

I became interested in this topic when

one of my Co-workers explained how she is involved in rescuing pugs.

I was told horrible stories of what these poor little dogs have been through.

I decided to help spread the word on boycotting buying animals from

Pet stores. If a person wants to get a pet, they should check out

their community Humane Society .

Timeless Treasure Marketing

View more presentations from angels6889.

This is a presentation I did for my Marketing Class. We had to

put together a marketing plan for a new business. I did all

the designing of the background and images in this presentation.

This show tells my vision for my company I plan to open after

I get my degree in May 2010. I have been designing this company

for the last 3 years. I have a vision I hope will come alive in the near

future.

The company is called Timeless Treasures by Sherry. It will be a

place where people can bring their still photos to life, by incorporating

them in a memory video. I have produced several memory videos in the

past. I became interested in making these videos when my daughter started

high school. I turned all the photos of cheer leading into a production. I

then gave each of the cheerleaders a video, so they could remember their life.

Rhythm/Action

DSC_0093, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

This is a shot I took at the Chittenden Dam of a puppy that was comingout of the water. Using rhythm correctly can give your image the illusion of movement, and help to draw
the eye. Rhythm can be repeated shapes or actual motion, like capturing the streaming
lights of a moving car. Shapes and line can lead the eye towards an area of focus.

Rule of thirds

DSC_0107, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

Here is an example of Rule of Thirds

By locating a subject at one of the four intersections—as opposed to nailing it squarely in the center of the frame, for example—you give it added emphasis.

Framing

DSC_0123, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

This is an example of Framing.

Framing is another technique photographers use to direct the viewer's attention to the primary subject of a picture. Positioned around the subject, a tree, an archway, or even people, for example, can create a frame within the picture area. Subjects enclosed by a frame become separated from the rest of the picture and are emphasized. Looking across a broad expanse of land or water at some object can make a rather dull uninteresting view. Moving back a few feet and framing the object between trees improves the composition.

Contrast

DSC_0140, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

Here is an example of contrast. The covered bridge in the background againstthe green trees creates a contrast. Contrast in photographic composition is an effective means of directing the viewer's attention to the center of interest. Positioning of subject elements to create contrast gives them added emphasis and directs the viewer's attention.
When we speak of contrast as it relates to composition, we are referring to both tonal contrast, as in black-and-white photography, and color contrast as it relates to color photography. In black-and-white photography, contrast is the difference in subject tones from white-to-gray-to-black or from the lightest tone to the darkest tone. In color photography different colors create contrast.

Depth of Field

panarama city_edited-1, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

This is a panoramic image I took of the city of Rutland. This was done by

stitching several shots together to make a panaramic. I used photoshop to

stitch the images together. This is an example of Depth of Field because it shows the

mountains in the distance along with detail in the foreground.

Texture

DSC_0108, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

Here is an example of texture composition. This is a tree I thought was

very interesting. It leads you to the sky when you look at it.

Texture – the visible surface quality of an object adding character to your picture.

Texture can be smooth and shiny like a new car or rough and edgy as in the tree bark

or cobble walkway.

The texture rule adds a great amount of interest to this photo. When people see

texture in a photo it can spark their imagination and make the photo more real to life.

Contrast/Complementary Composition

Complementary colors, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

Here is an example of a Contrast composition. This photo was taken in a garden.

It uses the complementary color scheme. The background is blurred since it was

taken in macro mode with my Nikon D50.

Editting with Picnik

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sherrybatesphotography/3710026779/

Rainbow creation, originally uploaded by sherrysdesigns.

This is my before and after photo that I editted with picnik.
I choose this program because it is web based and I didn't need to install a program to my computer.
I usually use Photoshop to edit my photography.
I have found using this program to be alot of fun. There are so many things you can do with it and it doesn't take alot of time.
This first thing I did was upload my photo from my computer.
Next I cropped my photo to remove the power lines.

Then I adjusted the saturation to bring out the rainbow colors.

Then I used the effect Posterize to make it look like a painting. Then I added a poloroid frame to my image.

Then I used the sandbox effect and choose circle splash and added it as an overlay to my image to give it the final effect.

I had alot of fun changing this image, so I chose to do 2 more photo creations.

Copywright

Creative commons is very interesting. It is a great place to get ideas and

to share your work with the world. Work (photos, songs, writings, art and ect.) are

freely shared with whomever would like to use them. One can make their own

copywright license to allow their work to be used or editted by people who veiw it.

This could lead to great things. Maybe an artist would become very popular.

I can't wait to share my work on creative commons.

Camstudio

I tested Camstudio. I found this screencasting tool very useful.

It videos your whole screen or just a portion of your screen so you

can use it to demonstrate how to use software or to teach a skill.

It was a very easy program to learn. It has 6 buttons to use. The first 3 are the primary

ones. The red button starts the recordings. The blue button is for stopping the recording.
and the black button is for pausing your recording.
You can chose to video with voice or you don't have to use voice. It will just show the mouse movements then when you edit it you can add screen anotations.

I think this program is great for helping a person or class learn a software. It is very user friendly. I will chose to use this program over screentoaster. I didn't find one fault with this program. It saved the file very fast. I was able to veiw and edit my video without any problems.

You can download this program at http://camstudio.org. I would recommend this program to all teachers. It would be a great learning tool. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Here is an example of the screencasting video I took.

This is a test I did with camstudio. I show you how to download the software.

Then I give a demonstration on Adobe Illustrator. I walk you through how to make a

flower. I will be using this tool in the future. It was a lot of fun to use.

The only thing I did not like doing is recording my voice. I have always hated

to do that. This was easy because its like talking to your self.

FREEWARE -SCREEN TOASTER

This is the welcome screen for ScreenToaster. Before you are able to use the software you have to set up an account. You do this by the log in in the upper right conner .

Once you set up an account. Log in with your user name and password. Accept the certificate and then click on start recording

The red arrow is the recording button . You can also use Alt-s to start the recording of your screen show.

The black arrow gives you different options: such as record whole screen, record a part of the screen. If you record part of the screen a rectangle box appears and you can resize it to the portion of the screen you want to record.

The orange arrow shows you can record audio- so if you are giving a presentation. You can also record your web cam.

When you are done recording you hit Alt-S again to stop the recordings.

Then go back to the screen toaster page.

Once you did your recordings. Go back to screentoaster. and hit the playback key. It will take a few second to do the buffering. Then you can edit you movie. You can ad subtitles and make the screenshot interesting.

Then after you edit your video. You can share it with the world. You can save it as an AVI file or a SWF file. You can also upload it to Youtube or Screentoaster.

The uploading is the important part of the process. It saves them in a very low file so they don't take up much space on your computer.

I think this could be a very usefull application. Since you don't have to download any software. However, I haven't had problem doing the recording. My own issue with this software is that it takes forever to make the movie preview. I updated my java and it should work. However I haven't been able to successfully produce a movie. I don't think this will be a software that I will be using. I prefer to use my Adobe products.

I will continue to play with this software. But as of this minute I am very frustrated at how long it is taking to make a 2 second video.
