Week 25 Comments

This week was a lot of working in Photoshop and some tests. I do like working in Photoshop a lot and I thought I knew the program pretty well before but I'm still learning new things all the time. Right now though I'm really getting anxious to start film. I know the Photoshop stuff is important, but I've never really done any short films or anything before. And I really just want to jump right in. I also am really excited to learn Adobe After Effects, as I don't have a good understanding of the program at all yet but I really, really, really want to learn. The only thing that frustrated me this week was maybe getting stuck a little bit in Photoshop a few times, that's all. Also I tried doing a video blog for the first time but I kinda quit halfway through because I think I'm faster at writing honestly. But I don't know maybe I'll try it next week. What made me happy this week was showing off some of my Photoshop stuff that some people liked. And now the link of interest.

My Link of Interest this week is a website called Code Academy. I know this won't interest everybody but I've decided that in my spare time I'm going to take up Coding. I've wanted to make games for years now, and I realized recently that programming was always the thing that stopped me from doing so. I mean you can always do tutorials but if you do those you only really know how to do super specific things, and don't get a general idea how to make games. So I'm using the website to learn JavaScript, and once I get a good understanding of that, I'm going to try and start getting to making games in Unity 3D. It's really easy for me to gain interest in something, and lose it rather quickly. So for this I'm really going to try to do. I honestly feel like an artist with no art sometimes. So yeah if any of you have an interest in learning to program. Here's a great website to get started. I also recommend checking out Code.org , but I think that's more for younger kids. Anyways, that's all for this week.

  1. Yup. I've done some Code Academy before, it's quite friendly. Unfortunately, I procrastinate and fade away. X_X

  2. Haha. Code Academy is supposed to be pretty neat, from what I hear. For HTML and CSS and general web-coding, I used https://dash.generalassemb.ly/ to get the basics down. Good stuff! I styled my own blog from what I learned.
