The purpose of this work was to create a back drop that would "contain and direct attention to a piece's content and message." I chose this icy blue background to signify water. I then cropped out the portion of the picture that I wanted. I chose the portion that was majority light blue. I then added a text layer. In the layer I wrote "You're invited to Elizabeth's Pool" because the blue reminded me of water. I then changed the text to something that I thought went well with the backdrop. I am pleased with how the image turned out, I think the color blue, makes people feel like the water would be refreshing on a hot day, and would want to attend. I think the glow of the text helps it stand out against the blue background.

Hue
|
The purpose of this work was to use RGB colors to change the hue of the cheetah. Here I decreased the hue to 89. This made my cheetah more green. The lower the number, the darker the hue. "it takes a combination of two or more RGB hues to create lighter tones." I change the color of the hue, a few different times. I am now really satisfied with the light shade of green I chose.

Saturation
|
The purpose of this work was to show how a picture's color can be altered by increasing or decreasing an images hue and saturation, which is the purity of a hue. "A hue that is in its most intense, literal form, is considered fully saturated. A hue that is mixed with its complement, black, grey or a neutral tone becomes muted, less saturated." To change the hue (color) I increased the hue to 94. This photo is less saturated because it is mixed with black and grey. It took me a couple attempts to chose which number of saturation to change my picture to. I am now pleased with the coloring of my picture.
The purpose of this work was to build a simple object in Second Life. To design it I first chose the shape which is a cylinder. I then stretched my object to make it wider, and moved it. I then titled it Penguin because I proceeded to add a penguin texture to it. I then added a little transparency and glow, but not much because I wanted the picture to still be sharp. When it was finished i thought it would look better smaller, so I applied that change. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I think the penguins make it look unique. Unfortunately, the penguins are hard to see, I could not get any closer to my object.
