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

Total: $998.05 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-01-11 14:17 EST-0500 Overview: All the parts work well together and everything in the computer is well balanced so it is more efficient. To make the computer better you will need to upgrade, but as a budget build for $1000 it is definitely a solid computer. You will be able to hit benchmarks on some higher intensity games and your favourite League of Legends will be running smoothly without FPS drops. Editing will also be comfortable since the computer is fast due to the components such as the processor, video card, memory, and the SSD. For the price range this is one of the best builds you can find out there. Today in class, we had to examine a HP pc. Now I am not really into computers a lot but it is definitely something I am interested in, to learn about. Our mission was to be able to identify all the different parts of an computer. Here is what I was able to come up with all by myself after a lesson from Mr. Spence. First lets see the case. ![]() If you were to look at this for the first time, it would just be a box with holes in it. But the case is what holds together all the objects which create a computer. The "holes" which are seen, are USB ports and AUX ports. On the left side there is also a disk drive where you can insert cds. ![]() This is the back of the case. On the right side we can see a fan which just cools the inside of the PC. Most of these ports are for powering the machine. Some are for USB's and you can also see one is for ethernet, which gives connection to the internet. Next lets look at the key components inside the case. ![]() The green part is the motherboard. All the parts are connected from the motherboard. It is really important because it gives all the parts power and a connection to the processor which is the brain of the computer. ![]() Heatsink: covers the processor. Its job is to cool down the processor since the processor gets really warm. Processor: You cannot see it in this picture, but the processor is underneath the heatsink. It is the brain of the computer. Its job is to recieve input and provide the appropriate output. ![]() Every electrical device needs power. This is the power supply which powers all the parts in the PC. First, the power is taken to the motherboard, which then gives power to the rest of the parts. To buy a power supply you need to know how many watts your parts need. It is always safer to get a greater watt power supply than a lower one. ![]() This is the hard drive. It stores all your data. Nowadays you should atleast be getting a 128gb hard drive. Anything lower is garbage. ![]() RAM allows your computer to do more things at once. Some people think it makes it faster but it really doesn't. In my opinion I would get 16gb of RAM because for gaming I believe it is necessary. For a working computer 8gb of RAM will suffice. ![]() Lastly we have the fan. Its job is to cool the computer. If your computer gets to hot it can fry which can lead you to having a broken computer :(. It is always good to clean your fan regularly because it does get dusty which can affect the efficiency of the fan. This is the whole computer. Now you are ready to go with all of these parts. Some extra parts you will need for better performance would be a graphics card and a SSD, but here are the bare minimum parts. I hope you learned something from this post!
