How'd It Turn Out?
I finished the Crab Nebula with surprising results. It was easier than expected to turn different color filters into something that fits well as one. I used four color filters—clear, blue, red, and green color filters.
I changed each layer mode to screen. In the end, I duplicated each color filter, making a total of 11 layers that include the Visible layer, the Clear median Blur, and the High Pass filter!
Median blur is used to calculate the neighboring pixels' median, affecting the image's edges and corners. The median blur involves a radius, a neighborhood, and percentiles. I set the radius at 3 to increase the blur while setting the percentile and alpha percentile at 50 to make the tone of the image a balanced brightness while becoming more blurred. Alpha percentile works to achieve this balance by becoming more transparent.
The high pass filter "filters high essential details, and larger scale gradients are removed" (Gimp). Standard deviation, contrast, and clipping are adjusted. Increasing the standard deviation allows more details to be accounted for.
I was happy with this final image because I could clearly see the interaction of each color filter in the final product. A lot of the previous noise had been minimized to the extent that the image's primary focus was highlighted.
My favorite part about the results is the Crab Nebula appearing behind the stars rather than in front. I see the stars popping out at me, but the focus still lies in the colorful nebula.
I would prefer my image to be less grainy, even though it is suitable for a first try.

EVENT #2: EIC Bulldog Pitch Competition
On May 2, 2024, I had the opportunity to attend the EIC’s Bulldog Pitch Competition. Seeing the competition was a great experience and inspired me for next year’s competition. I RSVP’d the day before and, with the company of my best friend, headed to JEP for the competition the following day. First and foremost, every presentation was amazing. I loved the individuality of every pitch, especially with the commercials and commercials. The effort and attention to detail were noticed. My favorite presentation was that of sophomore Justice Morant, with her app Empower Her, an app to help Black girls aged 8 to 20 with hygiene, menstruation, and puberty overall. The app connects users with OBGYNs, resources for both them and parents, games, and more. Her presentation stuck out to me for multiple reasons. Firstly, she was SERIOUS about her brand, and how she presented that showed that passion. She even made a t-shirt to advertise the app, like that’s true commitment. Furthermore, her slideshow stuck out. She created a prototype app display to show judges and the audience how EmpowerHer would come to fruition. There was a lot of dedication and time put into her pitch and it showed.
Every presentation used graphic design, and graphics in general, in various ways. Some presentations had unique logos, the EmpowerHer presentation and the Vegan Pub presentation (from Calvin-Caleb Amiolemen) had their hypothetical app layouts, the KTV presentation used the presenter, Keonna Thomas’ past digital imaging and artwork to show off her credibility for her media recording and production business. Everyone’s personalities showed off in their presentations, especially with how they related to the audience through jokes, the standout points they highlighted in their pitches to the color choices they used to advertise their product. That’s why I felt so connected to the presenters and why this event inspired me. I like to show my personality in the work I create, and that was especially present in the collage assignment done in Intro to Computer Graphics. Color choice, font choice, and image choice are all very important, and how they blend can affect how someone interprets your message and interprets you. Overall, the event was great. It inspired me to start working on an idea for the next Bulldog Pitch Competition, and hopefully, I can create some as amazing as my fellow Bulldogs did this year.
