Assignment #22
I used Google Sketch for this assignment. First you have to count how much the length, width, and the height of the box. Then, use the measuring tape to get the correct measurements. Use the push/pull tool to make you shape look 3D. Use the pencil tool to draw lines and make the shapes based on the given direction. Lastly, click on tools - Dimensions. Show the measurements for each sides. Click on the paint bucket to fill the shapes with the color you want. Follow the similar steps for all the shapes you make. 

 Block Quiz
8 x 5 x 5
Open up a new file in Google Sketch. Make a 3D box with length 8', width 5', and height 5'. Make a 4' slope on the front of the box. Make another slope with 3'. Then, use the pencil too to draw the lines and use push/ pull tool to push the shape back and you will end up getting the shape in the picture. You might need to use the eraser tool  to erase some of the drawing lines you made to get to the perfect shape. Lastly, color the shapes as it is shown in the picture. 

23- Gingerbread House 
Download a gingerbread house picture from Google. Go to Google Sketch and make a 3D box. Make sure the height of the box is taller than the person. Use the measure tap to measure how you want your house to be. Also try to make the house look the the picture you download from Google. I don't have to be exactly like the original picture. I use the shape tools and the push/pull tool to make my house look 3D. Lastly, color your house based on your original picture or your imagination. Import the original picture next to the 3D house and set it as front view. Export the 3D model to front, back, and side view. Have fun!

24- Gingerbread House 3D
Download a picture you want as your background image for your gingerbread house from Google. Only copy the house and paste it on your chosen background image. Duplicate the layer and label it as "Red". Click on the original layer and go to the blending options. Only click the G and B box and use the right arrow on the keyboard to drag the picture to the right. Now Go to the blending options for the duplicate layer and only check on the R box and drag the picture by using the left arrow on the keyboard. Lastly, just save it as PSD & JPEG and use a 3D glasses to see the final picture. 

25- Glowing Button 
Open up a canvas size 800 x 600 file in Photoshop. Select the “Ellipse Tool” (U) then drag out the ellipse onto the canvas. Add layer styles to ellipse. Duplicate the ellipse. Add layer styles to the duplicate layer. Select the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” (M) then make a selection around the canvas and fill the selection with the color black. Go to “Filter > Noise > Add Noise”.  Go to “Filter > Blur > Radial Blur”. Match bother ellipse in the middle. Download the power symbol and place it on the top of the ellipse. Add layer styles to power symbols. Create a new group and duplicate it. Change the power symbol to new layer styles. Hide the “Glow Group” leaving the other group visible then go to the animation panel “Window > Animation”, the animation panel should appear at the bottom of the canvas, select the little grey arrow on the right hand side then select “Convert To Frame Animation”. Select both frames and tween it. Copy and paste the 7 layer and select “Reverse frames”. Have fun!

26- Showcase yourself
Create a new document 1680 x 1024 pixel with a white colored background. Select the “Rectangular Marquee Tool” to setup a couple of guides to get the dimensions of the room.  Turn on the rulers by going to “View > Rulers” to get the lines. Create a left and right wall, Celling, Floor, and the middle of the room. For the Floor and ceiling Layer, go to “Edit > Transform > Perspective”, select either the top left or top right anchor points, hold down the shift key and drag inwards until it snaps onto the edge of the inner rectangle. Change the blending options for all the layers. Select the “Ellipse Tool” then at the top on the ceiling creates an oval ellipse and changes the layer style. Now create another ellipse smaller so it fits roughly inside of the first oval ellipse. Duplicate what you have made twice and move the duplicated layers along so you have a total of 3 lights on the ceiling. Select the “Elliptical Marquee Tool” and make a selection on the floor directly beneath the light. Fill the selection with the color white, de-select the selection then add a guassian blur “Filter > Blur > Guassian Blur” and change the opacity. Make another oval selection this time on the back wall of the 3D room. Put everything in a group and duplicate it. Put three different picture of you and sent it up as shown above. 

27- Brochure 

Open you a flyer in Publisher. On the front page, write about your school, about yourself, and how you get to school. Then start  writing about your regular class schedule with description and images relates to the class.  Continue the class description on the second page. Lastly, decorate your brochure as you like. Have fun!
