  Design Blog #2     So during week 2, we tackled adobe photoshop head on. We learned about hue and saturation. Hue involves the color of a specific pixel while saturation involves the amount of that color that is in the pixel. We also learned about opacity which is how visible the layer is.     The picture of the cake is supposed to represent layers in adobe. It also looks really tasty. 

  Design blog #4     Monday morning of the final week of graphic design theory went a little like this:  Me: Oh boy what a beautiful morning... oh wait its Monday... oh whatever. Wait I don't think I have once checked my grades in this class, I should probably go do that. Checks grade, sees a 38%. Oh no, guess I have to lock in now. Me on week 4 with like a 40ish percent: (I'm so cooked)      Other than me playing catch-up, we just did a bunch of review and we looked at 2 different horror movie posters, both of which I really like.

Project Limitations     So today, I used adobe's website again to get some creative exercises and try them out. The one I ended up picking was one where you give a project your working on limitations you normally wouldn't. If you remember back in week 2, I talked about a game I'm designing for my friends. In this game they are stuck on an island full of monsters, demons, aliens, etc., and have to find a girl who's stuck on the island. Normally, when I make games like this for them, I usually give them as long as they need to complete their objective. This is so they have all the time in the world to goof around and have funny moments like that one time where they all danced around the unconscious body of the final boss whilst singing California Girls by Katy Perry. This time however, I'm not giving them that luxury, they have a time limit of 1 in game week which rounds out to about 3 and a half hours. Now this may seem easy but when you consider all the stuff they h...
