Introductions


Howdy,

I am Sage Boutelle and I am a film and media arts major at the University of Tampa. I am from Tampa so, as you can imagine, I did not have to go very far. I am a lover of pretentious cinema so if anyone wants to hear about niche French films I can provide that. Once, I was qualified for and planning to go to a national competition for high school journalists and filmmakers but that was back in March 2020 and the funniest thing happened. 

This class looks like it is going to provide for an interesting semester. At first glance, the assignments for the course look like they will be challenging but in an engaging way. Through this course, I hope to become more familiar with the Adobe software suite, especially Photoshop and Illustrator as my experiences with them thus far have not been pleasant. I am looking forward to working with and learning from Professor Roundtree and hope that this will be an excellent semester.

That is all,
Sage Boutelle

My skills have expanded and improved massively since I started the course. Making this portfolio in InDesign was definitely one of the hardest projects I have had to do, but it was a satisfying experience overall.

As such, both their shared and individual history are worth discussing. The internet is a means of connecting computers and networks from across the globe in order to communicate with each other. This communication between networks allows for all manners of activities which form the usage of the internet. While the development of the internet was the result of the labor of many different people, the creation of the internet is generally credited to Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn in 1974. The initial purpose of the development of the internet was to be able to connect research networks together to streamline processes across the United States and Europe. Initially it was used in this way to connect computing research centers but soon started to be sold for commercial and personal use. This eventually evol

 Photoshop Tool Tutorial Overview How to Use the Lasso Tool to Cut Out Images In Photoshop           This video covers the lasso tool and its variants. All seem very intuitive as effectively only requires outlining an image. Although they are not always precise on the first go, it looks fairly easy to go back and make adjustments. It is very useful to mask out specific parts of an image. All forms of the tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, so the real challenge is knowing how to work around that and select the appropriate tool.  Making the Object Selection Tool Way More Precise!           This tutorial covers how to effectively use the object selection tool in photoshop. Using it requires just selecting a whole object using the tool and photoshop should get most of the way there in outlining it.
