This Week in Sci 10 - 3/4

This week, the we discussed Nanotechnology and little big about nitration. After watching a documentary on it, we had to write a paper on the benefits of nanotechnology in the Philippines. It turns out that we've been harnessing nanotechnology for centuries without realizing it. From the stained glass panels in church art to the new graphene computer chips, they're all nanotechnology.

We learned about nutrition and what we considered nutritious throughout the years in the development of our society. We watched a video about "pagpag" (actually my first time learning about it) to know how nutrition worked in the lower sectors of our society. It doesn't, they just scrape off what they can from the trash of the upper classes.

This Week in Sci10 - 2/26

This week in Sci10 we learned about telecommunications and its history. It was surprising to know that alexander graham bell was not the man who invented telephony but just the one that patented it. Seeing the different iterations of the telephone was interested as it transformed from a box with a hole, a box with a handle, a handle with a box up until just the touchscreen multipurpose "slab" I'm writing this on now. We were also able to use what we learned about patents and trademark last time to better understand the history of telephones.

This week in Sci 10 - 1/29

As a requirement in Sci10, this (reused) journal will keep track of my weekly activities in the class. Formerly, it was a journal for FA10.1.

This week lessons focused on what Science is and is not. We learned to distinguish the limits and the reach of science. Contrary to popular belief, it can coincide with religion despite their domains sometimes intersecting.

We learned how science affects society and how developments in science greatly affect our lives. The multiple scientific and technological breakthroughs allow us to live our lives as we are today. S&T are essential parts of modern society.

Illustrator 5

My final Illustrator schoolwork!

Really a shame, though, I love Illustrator!

For this we teamed up in groups of 5 to create a font by tracing photographs of real life objects. This was way more fun that I thought it'd be.

I got P Q R S and T.

R was ESPECIALLY HARD, I actually had to search google for examples!

The rest I had fun figuring out what would work. Although my groupmate told me hands weren't allowed. Wuups.

Illustrator 4

I usually love word play... but for some reason type manipulation was really hard. Aside from the Wacom pen for the "i" in design, I had nothing interesting up my sleeve!

Having no ideas makes me feel like a failure as an aspiring artist.

I'm wholly unsatisfied with this batch!

I want to redo this one day.

Illustrator 3

This is when the pen tool finally clicked for me. Halfway through the Starbucks logo I notice that I was supposed to set anchors whenever the curve changed directions and drag it toward that direction! That's amazingly intuitive!

I saw the twitter "circles minus circles unite circles minus" video before, but it was just as fun doing it myself.

Skype was really fun, though I struggled with using Arial Rounded for the font so I went ahead and got Helvetica Rounded just for this logo. Phew, kerning is tough.

I'm kind of happy with this batch.

Vectorizing Logos 2 : Harder and With Colour

The Apple logo was especially troubling. I'm still unsatisfied with the bulges, they're so ugly. While the Pancake House logo isn't much better, it was very fulfilling to see it look ok after all the messiness.

Illustrator 1

It's our first Illustrator work!

I had the use the pen to to recreate popular logos. I've had some experience with it before, but having a teacher to ask things I don't was really helpful.

Photoshop 10

A bit like Photoshop 2 before it, I can't really upload PS10 because it includes pictures of my classmate.

My favourite part in making it though, was creating the fake frosted glass effect a la iOS7 / OS X Yosemite. I created a white rounded rectangle, reduced the fill to 40% or so and applied a gaussian blur to EVERY LAYER under it. (There's probably an easier way to do it, brute forced it.")

I really love the frosted glass effect.

Photoshop 9

I was asked to create a poster for an event named "Flash". Any event.

Finally, I got to use the "strangely fitting persona cosplay guys." Look at those costumes, they're fantastic!

This one was difficult. Isolating those two out of the original pic was easy enough, but making them fit the background took a lot of messing around with the settings. The flying cash took the most time, though; look at those rough edges! ...and the part on the top right I forgot to magic wand away!

After getting the logo just right, I got lazy and slapped a random sans-serif font on the bottom portion.

I regret 50% of this pic.

Photoshop 8

I stared at this mamon (sponge cake) for a whole hour, dabbing dabbing dabbing with the repair tool.

Photoshop 7

"So, what are we going to do with this one?"

"If you put the spices back in the container, you get an auto-A."

Repairing photographs! I didn't know it was that easy to fix up a photo. It did take quite a while, but wow that was fulfilling.

Photoshop 6

Layer mask and clipping mask.

Why is layer mask a button while clipping mask is not?

Why are they named so differently, and yet they perform nearly opposite tasks?

I pen tooled Godzilla out of his natural urban habitat and into the ocean yet I still have so many questions.

Photoshop 5

I was given a texture and two photos.

"Make them look like gritty like Gotham City".

I haven't seen any of the Batman movies. I honestly did not know what Gotham City looked like.

I looked it up on Google and I think the first one looks okay.

As for the second one, I didn't have the texture to back up me up so it's kinda bad. The high values are too high I think. I still don't know how to fix that.

As with most of these photos, I don't have a clue as to where they originated. Most likely photographs by my professor or stock photos.

Photoshop 4B

Image adjustments for these as well, like we did in PS4.

I'm not especially interested in the sign on the right, but I'd love to know what that is on the left.

Photoshop 4

It's Filipino food! ...I think.

Well, Fil-Chinese anyway.

I had to adjust the levels, colour balance, and brightness of these individually to match my professor's samples and arrange them all in one photo.

I remember one of these was purple or something.
