Introduction to flash -Martin Garcia

Introduction to flash:

This past friday Ms.ramirez introduced flash to us. at first I was excited to learn and use flash because I knew it was animation which is cool but after the first two labs we did in class I realized that flash was not as easy as I tought it would be. The think that I liked about flash is that the animation that you built in it can be very useful in a website and it can also help you develop more creativity in your work. although flash doesnt seem easy to master I am eager to learn more about and try my hardest to master it because a good webdesigner should know how to use everything.

CTE Expo review

      This past friday the CTE expo was meant for freshmen to actually see the tech careers that the school offers them and see what they are interested in learning for the next 3 years. The expo didn't meet my expectations for many reasons one of the reasons was that the freshmen didn't know what section they wee looking at this should've been a very important factor in the expo and I believe this happened because cisco was sharing room with us. Another reason why the expo didn't meet my expectation was that most of the freshmen didn't want to really see the expo, I guess because they don't think that its really important.

       For these reasons something different that I would do next time is that when the freshmen come inside the room the first thing I will do is explain how the expo is organized and what sections they should look at first. I will also suggest the english teacher to explain to them how important the expo is in their high school career and maybe in their life. Maybe next year in  the expo, more freshmen will be more interested in seeing the academy.

Smart Goal:
My goal in DIgital design is to master the programs like dreamweaver and fireworks and others that we have learned
Specific: I want to be certified in dreamweaver and in photoshop as soon as possible.
Measurable: I will tell if i'm getting confident using he programs and I will also pass the exams.
attainable: my goal can be achievable if i use resources like the internet and notes from before.
Realistic: some of my obstacles to accomplish this goal would be to buy a computer but it will not be too hard to accomplish my goal because i have prior knowledge on the programs.
Timely: to accomplish my goal I am giving myself one month

peer review

the project's goals were to create a perfolio in a website with our best work so far. today i visit some class mate's websites and one of them was jonathan for jonathan i noticed he used a lot of designing  from photoshop which was very good because it made the website very cachi. i think he could've used a little more from dreamweaver, like creating rollovers. Some of the weaknesses of the website was that jonathan's project links didn't work. but besides that the website worked perfectly. and his website looked very origional. I also saw yanelis website and for her she had a very traditional background which i liked she also showed that she used photoshop to make her web page unique. one weakness is that she didnt gave organization for her labs and projects. i also visit santiago's website and i really enjoyed it because he make a very organized page and with all pages and links working. i also liked the rollovers he made. one weakness his website was that the background was too simple. Over all all of my class mates made a great job! with the project.

project 2

in the start of this project  my goal was to create a website that will identify my character and my style of design.after completing the project i was proud of my result, but i know i could've done better ,i know that if i dedicated more time to the photoshop coloring the website would've look better. over all i learned how to use wireworks and how to customize my website. i learned how to do things i leaned in html in fireworks with faster and more detailed in my webpage.     -Martino

                                               this is how i was hours before sandy hit in my house

                                         i was surprise to what i was seeing and experiencing because
                                         i never experience a storm this big. i was surprise in the begging but after
                                         a while i was calm and tried to do the best to be safe.

                                           after the storm i felt sorrow for the people and families who lost more than
                                         so i was honored to cook for the national gard who came to help new york
                                         recovered.
