MIDTERM #6

Multi-layered image

This is an image of the Linux penguin.  In this exercise I learned about using layers.  I added a new layer to a transparent background image, and added it with a white background.  Moving the layers around showed me that whatever layer was on top, was the primary thing that would be viewed.  So, for example, if I had the white background layer at the top, the rest of the image would be totally obscured.  I then made a copy of the penguin, then pasted it.  I noticed it created a floating layer, and therefore created a new transparent layer, and anchored the floating layer to it.  Finally, I added a caption to the front of the image, after deleting the white background and the copied image.  I saved it as an interlaced png so that the transparency would be apparent if one downloaded it.    It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.  This course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.

The Animated gif. My name shows up on the last frame.

This is the animated script I used to create an animated gif.  To do this, I went to the file menu, selected create.  Then from there I chose the text rotation script.  From here, I had to copy and paste the text the script generated.  However, I had to first rotate the text and then merge it to a white background.  This would allow these images to appear one after the other to give the appearance of the text rotating on the final product.  So, I copied the text and pasted it, then rotated with the rotation tool, then I anchored them to a white background.  Finally I saved the image as an animated gif with a 500 millisecond delay.  It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.  This course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.
