TRADIGITAL Presentation Lesson for my Daughters

I am not student in Photoshop...my youngest daughter she is.

Anyways,Just want to share this:
"Old school manual sketch rendered in Photoshop"
(I remember last few weeks back, this is the same
exercise they did for Robot coloring)

This is not a great work, you can do much
detailed and outstanding work than this.

This exercise was given to my Generation-Z eldest Daughter
(whose taking Interior Design) to understand how to
use traditional & digital technique for presentation.

HOW WE DID THIS:

1. Big Idea.- 10 min.
 My daughter planned a kitchen combined dining area
on a small piece of paper.And she wants it to be a
west indies kitchen theme.

2. ACAD Preaparation.- 10 min.
Bea prepares a draft plan intended for 3D exercises.


3. SKETCH UP - 10 min.
She prepares 3d files thru sketchup doing the push &
pull and inserting 3d models.

4. MANUAL SKETCHING - 30 min.
This is my part. I printed the selected view.
Lay over tracing paper on it and started to add information.

5. PHOTOSHOP Coloring - 15 min.
I took a snap on finished sketch and import it to Photoshop.

5.1  Copied the original file on another layer and change the mode
        to Multiply.
5.2  Created a new layer for my colors.
        After I finished all the coloring, I group all the layers and I
        renamed the folder"COLORS".
5.3   I merged all the layers and adjust the brightness and contrast.
5.4   Apply text for title and your signature.
















Total time finished: 1 hour 15 min.

I hope somehow, lesson above helps and inspire you
to create something to share for.

LAYERS - PS Class for Sofia DAY 5

Today, Sofia's Photoshop class topic is all about LAYERS.

There are several ways on how  to create a layer.
1. thru menu bar
2. thru pallete menu
3. thru cluster bar
4. and the last one is keyboard short cut (Shift+ctrl+N)

During Sofia's Day 5 Photoshop Class

Listening to her instructor brings me to compare
our time as a parent to a photoshop layer.

As a parent, we need to layer our priorities in our family.
Which one is the primary layer, secondary, tertiarry and
which one must be prioritize, which one is least priority
but, also important.

Everyday, when we open our eyes, we need to layer our schedule.
Automatically, our brain creates a layer of activities on which
we need to re-arrange instantly.

Some of the template layer activities are...
driving your wife to workplace, fetching your daughter to school,
household chores etc...

A CUSTOMIZED Layer is the one we created, like an occasional activity...
a party, attending seminars, running a marathon etc...

But the most important LAYER in our daily life is the...
Base Layer Layer FAITH IN GOD,
2nd Layer FAMILY FIRST,
3rd Layer EDUCATION,
4th Layer COMMUNITY HELP,
5th Layer LEISURE and Layer OTHERS.

LATE na kung late..! PS Class Sofia DAY 4

"Teacher Dad, Driver, Bodyguard at Ironman...san ka pa?"
04 October 2013

OMG..8:30 na ng umaga.

"Bakit di kayo nang gising...?"
Dali dali akong tumayo...pupungas pungas
na tinanggal ang mga muta sa mata...
isinisigaw ang....

"Sofiaaa... gumising ka na...!
male-late na tayoooo."

Naalala ko tuloy ang mahal kong ina tuwing
ako ay gigisingin para pumasok ng ROTc
tuwing araw ng linggo. Parehong pareho
ang istilo namin sa pag gising ng mga anak.

Dumeretso ako sa kusina, clinick ang initan ng tubig,
at nag lagay na ng kape, asukal at gatas sa
mug habang hinihintay ang pag init ng tubig.

Sabay sigaw ng...."Sofia...ano ba? papasok ka ba o hindi?"
at sa may ilalim ng kumot sa bandang dulo ng flat
namin ay maririnig mo ang..."opooo, tatayo naaa".

Tamang tama naman at mainit na ang tubig
at pwede ng mag kape bago maligo...
"Bata ka...asan ka na ba?" sigaw ko ulit.

"Andito na sa banyooo.." at pagkaraan ng ilang sandali
lumabas na si Sofia.

"Ano ba yaaan?" sabi ko.
"Baka habulin ka ng plantsa niyan ah..."
(mga salitang namana ko rin sa aking ina).
"akina nga at ng ma-plantsa yang t shirt mo" sabi ko ulit na naiinis.

Pag katapos ko ng pamamalantsa.Doon pa lang
ako nag umpisang mag banyo...bigla kong naisip
na kung narito lang ang nanay...malamang sabihan ako
noon na..."magpahinga ka muna bago maligo...mapapasma ka nyan".
Na madalas ko na rin sabihin sa aking mga anak.

Alas diyes ang umpisa ng klase ni Sofia sa Photoshop
at alas nuwebe y medya ay narito pa kami sa bahay...
at nag aayos pa rin ng laptop na dadalhin sa school.

Eksaktong 9:35am kami umalis ng bahay...nagmamadaling
magmaneho para umabot sa klase ni Sofia (mahirap kasing
mahuli...mauubusan ka ng parking at upuan naman sa loob
ng klase).

"Late na kung late...hmmp.!"

10:10am kami dumating sa klase...at ang mga classmate
ni Sofia ay nasa labas pa ng classroom...naghihintay.

"Akala ko late na kami...hhaaayyyzz..."

10:20am na kami pinapasok sa loob.

Akala ko late na kami...
