1. T-Shirt
Poster
I used the white T-shirt because
the images show up easier on a
bright shirt. The strengths of
this is that it was smooth and
not texture roughly. The
weakness was that it cost a bit
buy.
I used sharpies for my images because they
make the images stand out a lot. The strengths
of this was that they made the images bold and
bright. The weakness was trying to draw the
images due to the texture of the T-Shirt. The
texture of the T-shirt was not entirely smooth, if
done incorrectly, the images would not look
smooth.
I used Photoshop to plan my shirt
because I needed an idea of how I am
going to present my work. The
strengths of this was I could use tools
such as the pencil tool to draw out a
bold and bright representation. The
weakness was that some of the
drawings were irreversible so I could
lose them.
I used the gradient tool because I
wanted to show my mixture of
personalities as well as my
character. The strengths in this
was that I could easily choose a
gradient suitable for the product.
The weakness was trying to adjust
the view to make it stand out.
I used the font Berlin Sans FB
Demi for the titles because the
font’s style relates to my
character very well. The
strengths of this was that the
choosing of the font was very
easy. The weakness was that it
was also a tough choice between
this font and a few other fonts.
I used the pencil tool for my drawing because
it makes it stand out more than the brush
tool. The strengths for this was that it created
a bold, bright picture. The weakness was that
it was hard to control by mouse since it was
on a computer.
I used the Magnetic Polygon Lasso Tool
to cut out the image of myself because
it outlines carefully the image I want to
copy. The strength for this is that it
carefully outlined the picture without
making mistakes,. The weakness was
that I was hard to not make a mistake
and include the rest of the image.
I used Photoshop to make my
poster because it had all the tools
I needed to construct my poster.
The strengths of this was that it
had clear instructions on how to
use the tools. The weakness was
that it was hard to control some
of the tools since they are like
free hand.

2. Book
Animation
I used the brush tool for my cover and
blurb because it creates a peaceful effect
and warming atmosphere. The strength
of using this tool is that it is easy to
control and moves freely in order to
create the perfect effect. The weakness
however was trying to figure out the
best opacity level for it.
I used the font Arial Rounded
MT Bold for the font in the
book because it creates a
bouncy feeling for the book
and gives the overall text a
happy vibe. The strengths of
this form of text is that
I used the pencil tool for my drawings
because it makes them look more shaper
than the brush tool, as well as a clearer
image. The strength of using this was
that it produces a clear picture, and that
I can move it freely. The weakness
however was trying to draw the complex
parts of the pictures such as reflection in
an eye.
I used the Polygon Magnet Lasso Tool to cut out the
real life picture of me for the blurb because it clearly
outlines the specific part of the image clearly and
doesn’t cut out any extra piece that are unintended.
The strength of this was that it cuts out the image
clearly and sharply around the edges so it appears
like the photo was taken in front of the proper
background. The weakness however was that it’s not
guaranteed to copy all of the features and a mistake
could have easily have been made. Plus, it was time
consuming in order to make sure it is cut out in full
detail.
I used Movie Maker to make the book
visual because I wanted to make a quick
visual version of the book for visual readers
so that it is suitable for both types of
readers can read it. The strength of this
was that the pages were easy to assemble
with the insert tool shown. The weakness
however was trying to line up the music
with the video because the video was
longer than the song, so I had to add the
song more than once.
I used the lasso tool to cut out the images
because I wanted to create shapes freely and
this tool gave me that opportunity to make
the pages just the way as planned. The
strengths of this tool was that it helped me
create secondary shapes that cannot be
found within the shape section. The
weakness however was that it was
sometimes hard to control when drawing
complex shapes.
I used the website 2.conv.com to
convert the song onto Movie Maker
because it was free and easy to
convert. The strength of this was
that it does not cost anything to
convert the song into your files, it
is completely free. The weakness
however was that it took a long
time to convert.
I used the Moviemaker to arrange all my
clips together because the tolls within this
were easy to control and the option of
transitions were easy to choose. The
strengths for this was that the arranging
of the slides was easy and not too
complex. The weakness however was that
it took a lot of time.
I used Photoshop to animate my frames
because it was the quickest and simplest route
to take. The strengths of this is that it takes
record of how many slides I made. The
weakness was that it was too small to to see if
I copied the last.
I used YouTube to search the song because on
YouTube, you can search anything. The
strengths of this were that the songs were easy
to find and I knew what to type. The weakness
however was that some of the songs contain a
virus, so I had to be careful what to find.
