Unit 1 (1.01 & 1.02)
In unit one, I understood the basic ideas and concepts of design and how to create some of my own. I learned how to use external websites and applications to create new and cool text logos. I was also able to make my own magazine cover, which I thought was the highlight of the entire unit. I was able to introduce myself with technology by creating slide shows in Microsoft PowerPoint and Prezi. With all of these lessons that I learned, I can create graphic images and pictures to use as covers for books, magazines, and newspapers, as well as thumbnails for videos.
Unit 2 (2.01 & 2.02)
In unit two, I learned how to edit images and pictures within an application called Photoshop. With Photoshop, I can crop, cut, adjust, paint, erase, blur, sharpen, draw, and move images. Also, I can create collages by layering multiple images over one another, I can change the color of the image from RGB (Red, Green, Blue) to Black and White, I can edit the brightness of the image and add shadows to an image. Finally, with Photoshop, I can make an image or picture look better than the original if you become completely focused on the task you're doing.
Unit 3 (3.01 & 3.02)
In unit three, I learned how to create my own videos and audio using programs such as Movie Maker and Audacity. With Audacity, I was able to combine separate music clips from different songs to create my own mixtape. Also, I was able to include voice-overs from TV shows and movies and combine them with instrumental music tracks to create my very own voice-over track. With Movie Maker, I was able to create my own video by placing pictures next to each other to create a montage. I also used Sony Vegas to create my own videos, which I have had previous experience with.
Unit 4 (4.01 & 4.02)
In unit four, I learned how to create my own web pages by using HTML and CSS coding. Using websites such as Codecademy and W3Schools, I was able to learn how to code HTML and CSS to create text, headings, tables, and even display images. For a while, learning how to code HTML and CSS was complicated, as is every other foreign language, but after a while, I seemed to get the hang of it. I feel like this unit has been the most important unit because it covers the main area of Multimedia & Webpage Design, which is learning how to create web pages.
