For the final assignment of the semester, we created brochures of what it's like to be a MCSM student. Publisher has a variety of brochure options that you can choose from. I made my brochure have my school schedule, with each class included. I also added pictures that relate to each class and a brief description of each one. I followed the format of this brochure and made it exactly like this.

In this showcase assignment, we had to use photoshop to create a room. The room had to be set up with corners to make it look realistic by using the ruler measurements. Then, I added layer styles to make the gray color in the room and shadows stand out. The next thing I did was create ellipse shapes on the ceiling to make the lights. There are exactly 3 ellipses on the ceiling. When that was done, I created layers for each ellipse to make the light from the ellipses. I had to use the poly-lasso to make the shape of the lights. Finally, I added three pictures of myself in different positions (front, back and side). Overall, my showcase is of me, directly under the lights.

    
For assignment number 25, we had to create a power button using Photoshop. To begin, I had to start by making a circle shape using the ellipse tool. Then, I added the gradient colors to it to be able to add the power symbol. When that was done I had to create two groups of the layers I had, one for the glow and one that was normal. I began to change the layer styles for the glowing group by adding the green color effects. Finally, I made the glowing animation. To do this, I opened the animation window to be able to activate the duplication of the original and the colored one & also change the time in which the animation starts. The final result led me to this gif of my power button. A gif is basically an image file that has animation in it. This is different from a jpeg because of how a gif plays the image's movement. For example, a jpeg of the power button would not show it lighting up, while a gif does.
