Lately I used adobe photoshop for a couple of school projects that let me practice with altering images in a non-destructive way. In this project, Layering a Sandwich, it was pretty enjoyable once I got the hang of it. In this project the wand tool was heavily used. Each item had to be cleanly cropped In order to make a more realistic looking sandwich. After you're finished piecing together the sandwich the fun part is finding a drink and a bag of chips to go with it. This project made me more confident with using photoshop. In a more recent project, we were asked to create a piece in the style of a guy named Andy Warhol who created the famous Marilyn Diptych series. To be able achieve this, we had to change the contrast with threshold, and you can mess with the colors from there. But to make the piece more resemble Andy Warhol's image, you need to make the canvas wider, duplicate the layer and drag the two duplicates to the sides of your choice. After I got the extra guidance I needed, things started to go smoothly. Over all, I am thankful for both of these projects because if allows me to get a feel of Photoshop and the mere basics of something a lot more elaborate and something like this that is used a lot in our society. I just want that in the near future I would learn a lot more exciting and useful things about Adobe Photoshop.

Roblox has always been a go-to game whenever I was bored. I would always go on it to either create a Roblox game, or play a game that was created by someone else. I always wanted to create a really great game on Roblox that would make players want to come back and play again. That's what's special about Roblox. Roblox doesn't have only one subject like most games, instead the app has thousands of games created that have the same character design. But there is one game in particular that id like to talk about; Jailbreak. Jailbreak is a game where you can either play the role as a cop or an inmate, you could even be a part of the S.W.A.T if you're willing to spend a little money or Robux, which is Roblox's currency. If you choose to be an inmate, your job is to escape and get rich by stealing from trains, banks, etc.. The game is regularly updated so there is always new places to either protect or steal from. Months ago a museum was added! The creators did a good job with creating it and there's so much to steal. In my opinion being an inmate is the best role to play in jailbreak. Even thought you are always on the run, there are always ways to get money quick versus being a cop where you get your paycheck every so often. Usually the average amount of money you earn is around 4k. Life is just more exciting as an inmate. Its fun being chased, that's if you have a fast car.
