summary about the information

what i noticed the most about all the information i read is basically that for each different university you apply to, there are different things that you have to do. what all american universities ask for in order for you to apply are a list of things. you need your transcripts, annual income, social security number, citizenship status, student wide ID, bank information (statement), if you are an international applicant like me you need your English level certificate, and a copy of your passport.

 those are the easy things, the important things that universities need to check in order to see if you are a good candidate or not are your test scores, and your student essay which is asked differently by every different college you apply to or. remember that different universities sometimes ask and require different things for your essay in order for you to apply.

 the most important things is to have everything you need in order to apply within the application deadlines and fee. some universities don't have deadlines but almost all others do and it  is really important to be on time. submitting your application is the same for citizens or different country of residence.

Google day 1

3 goals i have for today are:
1. learn all about gifs and how to create them
2. learn more about photoshop!
3. learn more about all the editing you can do in a picture

1.How To Create Animated Gifs
i found a useful tutorial in youtube about how to create animated gifs using adobe Flash ImageReady.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z93Z1v5dypE
Tumblr is a website that uses gifs a lot and where people also show the gifs they made. Gifs are a really big deal and used all the time in Tumblr so I typed the hashtag gifs in the tumblr website and there were a lot of entries about people who make gifs and posted some awesome tutorials!
http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/how-to-make-gifs
i actually found a make a gif website which is free and easy. it is really really easy, all you need to do is select the images you want, put them in order, and the website will create the gif for you. i think this could be a really useful website and tool
  http://makeagif.com/

that is my creation! i actually made this gif

2. Learn More About Photoshop
i found a very useful website about using Adobe photoshop CS3 which is the one that is already installed on the computer. it just shows tricks and tools about the tool bar and how to use it correctly.

3. Editing In a Picture
I wanted to learn more about cool and awesome ways you could edit a picture that no one has ever done before. i found this website which gives me the links of other very very cool websites in which you can edit pictures in ways that very few people know how to do.
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/25-websites-to-have-fun-with-your-photos/

this is a photo i edited. it is a picture made out of smaller pictures if the beach which cannot be seen clearly but are still there!
this is also a website that has links in it with other websites that have a lot of different photo editing effects and are different from the ones i mentioned earlier.
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/30-nicest-photoshop-photo-effects-part-ii/
this next website i found would actually help for both learning how to use photoshop and using cool editing effects on photos since it shows you and has tutorials about how to edit and add cool effects on a photo (even though its a little complicated) using photoshop.
http://www.tutorialchip.com/photoshop/photo-editing-tutorials-for-photoshop/

one thing i would like to learn next class is how to move objects around an image without leaving trace of the change. i would also like to learn how to photoshop images into other images and create a whole new different thing/photo.  

Google 20%

i would like to do my google 20% project about photoshoping and all the ways you can and are able to edit picture. the amazing skills i would like to do with photoshoping and editing pictures are gifs which is how to make a picture move. i would also like to learn how to move objects around an image without leaving trace of the change. another interesting thing would be editing pictures. all the effects, how you can change the colors (color corrections) of the pictures, texture, and all of those types of things. how to chose the focal point of the picture after taking the picture would also be a cool thing to learn. and how to extract a subject and put it somewhere else and create my own instagram effects.

i plan showing how i learned all of these skills by making a video that explains how to do it in a simple way that everyone can follow along and learn. it would be a video with small videos about the topic that helped me, but in the way i learned about it and showing everyone how to do it in easy steps. i dont want it to be a long video since it could bore people but im pretty sure i could have all of the information i learned inside the video that would be under 3:30 minutes.
