Highschool Decoration

For our Gimp project we made the decoration of a higschool (I did mention it in my week report sometime ago). I finished it, and now I can share it, here it is:

The side part looks surprisingly good (not the drawing, just how natural it looks), the front parts looks good, also, but it's so bright,it looks unnatural. I also had some problems with the tree...

I did like doing this, definitely helped to improve my GIMP techniques.

This week in Computing Class we started working on our next Gimp Lesson: decorating our high school.

Basically we were given an image of our high school from the exterior in which we were supposed to make a drawing and put it on the walls of the high school in a way that it actually makes it look natural. As of right now I still haven't finished, so I will post the end result next week (or at least I hope to).

We finished the week by sharing Gimp tricks to other classmates, I told the class how to undo or to redo your drawings (Control + Z for removing stuff, Control + Y for redoing stuff), for example.

I would like to try all of the tricks tomorrow, I just hope that I can remember all of them!

This week in class we investigated 6 different  image formats and when to use them, by far the biggest help was these posters that we found about some of the image formats:

For the  page with the WHOLE poster, you can find it here:

We separated into groups and started to investigate them, our group was a little bit disorganized, but we managed to do it.

We finished the week by doing two posters about them and their characteristics, you can find them in our Computing class, but for the readers that aren't part of the class, this page has tons of information regarding image formats and they probably do a much better job at explaining it than myself :

Definitely worth a read!

Not a nice week in Galicia!

After spending a week in Galicia for New Year and Three Kings Day, I would have liked to post some photos of myself spending a nice and sunny week there...

But i's exactly the opposite, the whole week was full of rainy and windy days, a complete storm, fortunately it wasn't so severe and there wasn't any type important damage, but several traffic problems occured just because of this, and several trees were even cut off, it was definitely a pity not being able to see The 3 Kings parade without completely soaking yourself. I have some images of the storm:

You can literally say it was the windiest week of the entire year!
