Copyright and Plagarism

Copyright is put in place to protect a product or creation from it being stolen or reproduced.
Copyright is a legal right. For example if you copy a film and post it on the internet you will be breaching copyright law because you did not create that film and you do not have the owner's permission.

An example of plagiarism is going on the internet and copying and pasting a document and submitting it as your own coursework.

Below is a video I found on youtube that breaks down copyright law.

Copyright is using someone else's work without their permission.
Plagiarism is passing someone else's work off as your own

Candy photoshop tutorial

Candy photoshop tutorial

I created a pattern of three red boxes and saved it under the pattern drop-down menu

I created a new document with the word "Candy".
 Then created a drop-down shadow, Stroke, Bevel & Emboss on the FX tab:


  • The drop down shadow gives the typeface some depth and incorporates another colour
  • The Bevel & Emboss creates a 3D effect
  • The Stroke gives a slight border around the typeface.



Then imported the pattern and created a clipping mask. Then I free-transformed, rotated the pattern to create a tilted effect

I think that it creates a good effect which I will incorporate into my finished Christmas card. I am not a big fan of the font but with the finished Christmas card I will ether download a font or use a preset.

popcorn


If I had more time to make this interactive Flash animation I would put an animated explosion as a transition between the kernel and the popcorn. I have used Flash before but didn't know how to create buttons. I enjoyed experimenting with this and making this animation but I think due to time restrictions it isn't quite as good as I'd like it to be.

five shot guitar film



I'm pleased with this short clip. I think it's quite funny and comedic. I decided to put a guitar in the background to give some setting and to fill the background and make it more interesting. I think the black background could be changed to a colour background because Shane's black t-shirt blends into the background in a few shots.
