This week we started learning more into Adobe Photoshop. I've never worked with Photoshop before, so its all new to me. It is pretty interesting, but there are so many tools and information involved in Photoshop. Just making such a small project that you would think would be easy, takes a lot of time to learn. We went over how to change the size of canvas, different pixels, squares, layers, adding pictures, and textures. Next step, I'll be working with Photoshop on my project. The reading "Cannibalist Manifesto" had different auras throughout it. It was about Catholicism ranging from the corrupt priests to the Saints, to attacks. There were lots of different negative vibes throughout the reading.

As we talked about some peoples perspectives of New Media, it seems like everyone has their own way they look at it. I think of it as New Media is taking over the world more and more every year. When I look at all of the technology we have now, it doesn't compare to Media we used to have. I remember in elementary school we had huge box computers and they were like the best thing ever being able to use them in school. And when I see my younger siblings now having assignments due online because computers are just so common now. Or cell phones, now almost everyone has one, its even normal for kids to have one. New Media and technology is really how the world goes round these days.

New Media
New Media
Week 1
On my first day of this AVT class, was also my first day of
being at GMU from transferring over. I don’t
know a lot about computers and am not good at de-coding and would much rather
go without it. An advisor told me there
was a class I may be interested in that I could take to fulfill my IT
requirements.
When I got to class and started looking around at all of the
Apple computers I could already tell it would be more interesting to me. Mr.
Torres went over how the class would be ran through out the semester and the
new materials we would learn such as new media vs old media, photo shop, and
more. He also showed us a website “The Cluster project” which showed us some
new media- www.theclusterproject.com
. This website was really cool to me, I haven’t been on a website like this
before. From what I know so far about this class, I think I will be learning a
lot of new knowledge about Media. lk
