Logo numero 2.egg by karlamendoza19 on Aviary

These images were created using Aviary's Raven program. I had never used vectors before and it was definitely an experience I enjoyed! There are so many different tools and so many things you can make with vectors, it just amazes me. I created these two logos for my blog. I prefer the first one over the second one, but I also had a lot of fun making the second one. I can't wait to make more of these!

Let me write you a picture.

I made this image using GlassGiant.com. It was very simple to make it, I thought there was nothing to it.







I made these images using text-image.com. My favorite one was the Matrix image, but mostly because I love those movies. This program was also very easy to use, but it wasn't as great as Tagxedo.


I also used it to make this image of Lionel Messi and Xavi (FC Barcelona players) in honor of the 234 goals Lionel Messi has scored for the team, becoming the top scorer in the history of the club. I decided to use the number 234, because it makes sense, haha.



This is definitely my favorite website. Tagxedo was amazing in every level. I love how creative you could get with it, and I love how you could change the colors, the size, what letters to use. Everything was amazing. For this image I asked the guy in the picture to give me one of his favorite Bible verses and he said this.
"How to throw a party: "But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind" (Luke 14:13)" I honestly think, not even just think, I know that I will keep using this website for a long time because it was so much fun to use, and it makes for personalized, but easy to make cards, or notes, or even something to hang up in your room.



I made this using Textorizer, and I really enjoyed it. It took me a while to find the right image to use, but I think this image works very well. I used the words: worship, love, Jesus, and everlasting. It literally represents what was happening when this picture was taken, and I love that you can still see the guitar and it almost feels like some of the words represent the music coming out of it.



I used Textorizer 2 to make this image, and I thought it was also really cool. I love the image I used because there are so many different colors. I tired other images, but they werent working as welll because the colors would all blend in. For this image I decided to use the text from 1 Timothy 5: 1 - 2, it says "...Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity." I really like the text I used because it really is how we try to treat each other when we hang out, and it turns the place into a really safe place without having to worry about other things.



I used Excoffizer to make this image. This is actually the same image as the first image I used to work on GlassGiant.com. I like this image because you can see more of the image and it gives it a cool texture and value.

As an overall, I really enjoyed working on these projects, and just figuring it out. I really like the fact that even though tagxedo comes with templates that are ready to use, you can still upload your own image and juts have  fun with it. I really do think that I will keep using some of the programs I had to use to fulfill this assignment.

the lines will lead you

I made these images using Scribbler, which as online software that generates an image based on an image that you started. I think this software was really cool, but a little bit frustrating, because I couldn't control the movement of all the colors, but that is also what made it really cool, because it just made me want to either delete lines or make them brighter, etc.





I had a lot of fun making these images on Scribbler Too. I tried to create volume through the use of different colors and the direction of the strokes, etc, I loved the line use of the program. I think it makes for a very interesting way to figure out how to make the best of it.





Flame was my favorite program, just because it was so much fun and it gave me a lot of freedom. I loved how the different kind of lines and movement created different things, from something completely abstract to something that could be a little more realistic in the midst of something that's already abstract. I really enjoyed this program, and will probably keep using it for a while :)

Everyday I'm shuffling!

Here's the final product for my mash up video! 

I made this video using Windows Movie Maker. I used clips from the music video that was made by the band  "Raining Pleasure", which I found on archive.org. I also used a clip that was recorded by my friend Mallory, and I'm actually part of this video, which is really funny to me. I mostly had to use this video because I still have no idea why one of my friends carries a beaver suit in the back of his car. The video at the end was also taken from archive.org, which I found to be very helpful. For the sound of this film, I used the song I had to create using Roc and Myna on Aviary.com. I also used a few more different sounds which I edited it through Audacity. I had a lot of fun making this video, I might even try to make another one in the future, because it seems like a really cool thing to make for a friend, especially because you can personalize them with music, movies, personal videos, etc. I hope you enjoy this video and if you would like to give me feedback, I would greatly appreciate it!
