Creativity Task

2009-02-25T13:06:00.000-08:00

in the past few years my creativity has been, an exploration of different routes and forms of the wide range of multimedia had to offer, as i have been designing basic web pages, developing and recording sound, designing digital images, posters ,and some animation as well.

they have mostly been my own small projects, and part of course assignment for college

I have decided to do them this way, so I could start gathering knowledge and experience for the future and understand the aim of design, techniques, and processes of multimedia.

by this stage I would like my creativity to be prepared to develop further, in virtual environments and follow my future aspirations as a practitioner for a positive achievement.

I feel that one of the best ways to start getting involved, is by researching, because it can help me build up my knowledge, in an specific ways related to the subject, like finding background information, which in the end could help me achieve positive outcomes

I consider my self drawn as (exploratory) research starting point, because it makes me find and look at the information of previous work and learn as i go, but i feel afraid of (in front off) as it can lead to a series of criticisms.

I don't think any of them are irrelevant, but i feel that (in thought) is the final outcome of "behind" so it kind of referees to the same thing.

The Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds

This concept guides you on how to position subject images in a picture; I actually find it very important when it comes to photography and similar types of imagery art.

In the example I have used it shows a tree as the main subject of the picture, placing it in a suggested point based in the rule of thirds.

Example:

Place the most important part of your picture--the center of interest--at one of the four places where the imaginary lines cross. A person who is the subject of interest should look or appear to be moving toward the center of the picture. When taking a picture with a horizon, place the horizon line on one of the horizontal thirds, depending on the emphasis you want in the picture.

When taking photos of people, don't chop them off at the knees or ankles. Include the entire body or shoot your subject from the waist up.

Latest Multimedia Product

A digital audio workstation that can be connected to MIDI organ consoles and is capable of simulating large pipe organs, theatre organs, and 'classic synthesizers' has been developed. It is also has substantial capabilities for MIDI composition, arranging, scoring, and rendering in addition to 'ordinary' digital audio recording and audio/video editing.

Example:

One of the advantages of the MIDI system is the possibility to use a computer for editing and playing MIDI message sequences. Besides its processing speed and its storage capacity, the computer allows modifying any music parameter with great precision and simplicity. Since the creation of the MIDI standard, a great variety of commercial programs for musical composition have appeared on almost every platform. The first programs were on 32 bit-based computers like the Amiga, the Atari and also the well known Apple Macintosh Nowadays in the PC domain there is a high level of MIDI software development under Windows as well as under Linux.

What do I want to get out of the course in addition to passing?

I would like to explore and develop further my knowledge as a Multimedia Practitioner, as I have always been excited to get to know the wide variety of it as a subject.
Overall I think the most important thing is to pursue my ambitions related to this course, by sharing own experiences as well as learning from others, which would eventually lead me into a future success.

What did I do this week?

2008-10-08T04:18:00.000-07:00

I had many activities, I was practically busy every single day and night since I arrived here
But I am really enjoying it, and in a way is giving me more confidence towards my course to get the best out of it.
