Module 2: Assignment 7

New Look...New Feel...To celebrate, I have even added a new theme song to the player near the bottom of the page. It should be playing right now, so kick on your speakers and enjoy. Feel free to scroll through and listen to all of my work on there.

Module 2: Assignment 6

In this assignment, the students were instructed to utilize the FireWorks vector drawing and shape tools to create a black and white comic strip or cartoon. Though my artistic talents are usually relegated to the auditory arts, the comic below actually came out better than I thought it would. The premise for the comic may need explaining though, I'm no Gary Larsen. The comic depicts a puzzled and confused office worker waking up in his office to his boss with an alarm clock telling him he is late.




The following is a screenshot of my FireWorks workstation.

Assignment 5

Assignment #5 for the FireWorks image editing application involves using the previously learned talents of the program to create a collage. Using a black canvas and the images located at the following links, I was able to create an homage to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in celebration of their pursuit of another World Series ring.

The collage:




I decided to go with an "antiquing" type feel with this piece, making the ballpark and other images dark and almost ghostly ala "Field Of Dreams."


Below is a screenshot of my "print screen" working with FireWorks.

Mod. 2: Assignment 4

Mod 2: Assignment 4

In this exercise we were instructed to create a map to a destination we would like to go to based on a mapquest image. The location I chose to use was the Orange Bowl, a stadium in Miami, Fl that hosts the resurgent Miami Hurricanes NCAA football program. This is the last year the team will play at this location, moving to a new facility next year. The orginal map can be located here: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=internal&addtohistory=&latitude=uYll9c%2bA%2biKNb2UOVpEqUA%3d%3d&longitude=rjVDKAlQ3vicDxLphKFaeg%3d%3d&name=Miami%20Orange%20Bowl%20Stadium&country=US&address=1501%20NW%203rd%20St&city=Miami&state=FL&zipcode=33125&phone=305%2d643%2d7100&spurl=0&&q=orange%20bowl&qc=Stadiums%20Arenas%20%26%20Athletic%20Fields#east

The .gif image below is the map that I rendered (although not well) noting the location in the center in green. The green/orange "U" above the location is the logo of the Hurricanes. The red ellipse denotes the entrance to the facility.

Module 2: Assignment 3

This assignment was designed to familiarize students with the vector drawing tools of the FireWorks image editing software. Using the crop, text, and polygon tools-I have altered the original sunflower image to include some vector additions. Because the JPEG file is a smaller file size than the GIF, and can be downloaded faster, I have posted the following example as a JPEG. (JPEG file size: 18.35k 2 sec. @ 54kbps) (GIF file size: 29.44k 4 sec. @ 56kbps)

Module 2: Assignment 2

This is an exercise to familiarize with the layer manipulation tools of the image editing software FireWorks. The class was given an image to rearrange using the various layer and properties settings of the software.

Module 2: Assignment 1

This is an assignment for my computer graphics & design course.  The
purpose of this assignment is to familiarize with the image editing
software techniques of Adobe FireWorks.  Using an original
image located at
http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/images/06PHY006_YtterLaserCool_HR.jpg,
I have altered the image using the setting of "difference", "reflect", "glow",
and freeze" for altering effects.
