 Conclusion:
Through multimedia I have learned to utilize several very helpful programs. Photoshop CS5, Google Sketch UP, Excel, Adobe Illustrator. Some of the uses of these programs are layering, allowing you to insert images or alter text or images to change appearance or color. in a variety of ways. Another is the ability to create shapes through Photoshop and Illustrator in order to create real life objects, not just blocks or circles. You can also animate objects using Photoshop. In addition there is filtering and distortion where you change the appearance of a image to make the texture look different but not necessarily the objects in the image itself. We also learned to transform images using image paths in Photoshop. All in all, Multimedia has been very helpful to me and has helped develop my knowledge of technology.
