Internet. Without internet I wouldn't be able to publish this post I'm working on. Today in class we were shown a video of how internet works, and with also the help of info on the internet this is what I came up with on how the internet works. IP. So the first thing we should learn about is IP addresses. An IP address is how your computer is identified. It is the way messages know where they need to travel and where they are coming from. These computers are linked with your router which brings us to cables and wifi. Lets say you want to send someone "Hi my name is Shivek". This information changes into bits or binary information from your computer and heads through cables and wifi to your router. When we reach the router, all of these bundles of information, named packets, get transferred through wires wherever they need to go. When the information reaches its destination which is the router the computer is linked with, the router then sends the information to the computer and the bits are turned back to letters on your computer. This all happens at fast speeds which benefit us because who wants to do anything slow?
Now what I am writing down here is going to go to do the same process I just talked about but with where ever the servers for Weebly are. In a split second I could publish this without errors due to how advanced we have become with the internet and to keep it as reliable as possible. It's amazing how it works and to think how so many steps can be done within the flash of an eye. Thanks to Khan Academy with the great videos!

In Class today we learned about Base 2(Binary), Base 10, and Base 16(Hexadecimal) and how it works. Here is what Mr. Spence taught us. Base 10 are our everyday numbers such as 1, 2 , 3 and so on.
Base 2(Binary) is another number system where we only use 1's and 0's to represent a number. Each 0 and 1 is a single binary number also known as bits. Here are some questions which show us how Binary works. Base 2 to Base 10 1. (i) 10101 - So the first number to the right is supposed to be multiplied by 2^0 and each number u go to the left the exponent increases by one. After adding all the numbers together the answer you get is. = 21 (ii)100010 = 34 (iii)111101 = 61 Since binary is too small it is easier to write numbers with hexadecimal. This is why we mainly use hexadecimal in todays technology. Instead of using 8 numbers by doing base 2 for hexadecimal, you would only use 2. Base 10 to Hex 2. (i)29 = 1D - So we use 16^0 to 16^3 for these questions. We do these questions left to right. We cant use 16^3 or 16^2 since they are not smaller than 29 so we start with 16^1 which is 16. For the rest we add 13 of 16^0 which gives us 13. Since 13 is D our final answer is 1D. (ii) = 1023 = 3F The February IDS was really fun and the idea of the expo was really cool. I think I did quite well but to improve I think I should of created more photos, but still keep them with high quality. At the expo it was really cool to see everyone elses projects while present mine at the same time. Out of 10 I would rate myself a 9 because the quality of my work was good and the presentation I gave to others who came to my booth, kept them interested in my work.
This week was the most laid back because I was mainly done. I added some touch ups on the photos and was thinking of how to present my project. In the beginning I decided to make a video but sadly I finally learned about the booth setup and realized that was not going to work so I scrapped it. Much of my finishing touchups were done on Color Efex Pro 4.
Week 3 is where I did most of my work because I knew time was running out. Here are two of the final products which I created this week. Note how the shading is crucial for the effectiveness in the photos. My favourite picture I created for this IDS was the one with the polar bear because I spent the most time on it and personally I think it looks the best. Look at Mr. Lin!
For Week 2 troubleshooting was the biggest thing. Sometimes I got really frustrated and just said "ill do this later". The problems I was having were, clipping masks not working, and the use of shading in the pictures. By the end of the week I was able to produce my first final product. I like this picture because of how minimalist and clean it looks. I was pretty stoked when I was done, because I couldn't believe I made it.
For week 1, Youtube was my best friend. I searched up many tutorials which interested me. Now everyone can copy a tutorial so I wanted to use the help of the videos, but create pictures which I designed. Some of the Youtubers I watched, were Rafy A and Arunz Creation. They are incredible graphic designers and I hope to be as good as them one day. This was also the experiment week working in photoshop. Here is me just messing around. Sadly nothing became of this picture.
For my IDS I will be doing photo manipulation. One thing I'm very fond of are graphics and how to produce them. Since grade 8 my graphics have been improving by practicing using different tools for editing. Photo manipulation will be my toughest challenge yet. Some of the pictures I will be making might take up to hours to finish. Photo manipulation is the art to take many pictures and bring them together to create a brand new picture which is clean and visually appealing.
Purpose : To be able to manipulate photos so you can not tell how the picture originated. Steps : Step 1: Research and get used to using the program for the editing I will be doing Step 2: Practice by making more and more pictures Step 3: Create a compilation of all the pictures I made, and also make a tutorial for others if they want to try What I will Learn: Graphics are an important part of the world. We see them every where we go, so to improve my graphics by trying new things, it will make me produce better quality projects in the future. Photo manipulation is a cool concept. It is when you take a starting picture and transform it into a finished product, which is nothing like the beginning picture. I think it will be very cool to learn. Budget Building Computer
