Walking Gallery Blog Post

I saw many good themes today. They were all very different. I liked Matt Hoeg's replace a face and I enjoyed Andrews' pictures. I heard a lot of good mixes that really fit their themes well, not sure the artists though. These two units taught me a lot from how to edit photos in many different ways to making decent mixes. I also learned that copyright is very important for both sound and photos. The class has learned a lot and I know I have grown as multimedia designer. I have many skills such as editing photos and making mixes for the future.

News Podcast Evaluation

To evaluate my news podcast I had two other people watch it and critique it. I believe that my podcast is professional and that she should use it on air. It should be used because the end of the lockout was a big moment in the sports world and it has a good story to get people excited for the NBA season. I would like to help out this process in the future because I had a fun time creating my podcast.

Sound Intro and Hearing Loss

Sound travels in waves. You can measure sound by its amplitude. Some basic effects are amplify, fade in/out, pitch, tempo, reverse, and tracking.
Over half the people that suffer from hearing loss are under the age of 65. There is really no cure to hearing loss. I am now aware that listening to music loudly is cool now but it will effect you in the long run.

Photoshop Examples

In the photoshop unit I learned many new things. Two of my favorites are to cut things out of a picture, and to remove something from a picture.

Change because of cut out.

Change in photo from removing.

Slideshow

Sharing photos with Iphoto is easy. You just edit the photos how you want but make sure to give the sites where you found the photos credit. To create a slide show you just create an album and select what photos you want to be in the slideshow.

Welcome!

Welcome to Alex Sturm's Multimedia Blog! I am now learning how to edit and organize photos using iPhoto. I watched some videos about iPhoto and I learned that you can add photos from a digital camera very easily. Also you can create a new photo album with a click of a button. You can change the name of that album also.

Birth into the Blog World feels great!
