1. The tutorial teaches you how to use live preflight on inDesign.
ReplyDelete2. This could be used with projects to tell what it is exactly what you need to fix, and to get inDesign to identify what is wrong by setting limits.
3. It takes you step by step on what to do and you get to see what button does what and what you have to press to get a certain window.
4. The weaknesses are the guy’s voice is super monotone and easy to block out and he doesn’t go through absolutely everything, which I think would be very helpful.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-indesign-cs4/using-live-preflight/
http://inkpass.com/tutorials/create-a-textured-peeling-sticker/
ReplyDelete1. The tutorial is of how to simulate a peeling sticker, and includes skills relating to filters and layering.
2. This could be featured in advertisements, personal logos and/or personal websites.
3. There is an image portraying each step along with the text.
4. The finished product is not shown after the steps of the tutorial.
1. It teaches how to draw a “realistic” manga face
ReplyDelete2. This tutorial can help students draw manga characters, to the point the character looks real. But it’s still manga. I can see animation students using this tutorial and animating their manga character.
3. The strengths are, he goes step by step and sticks with the basics instead of going into the advanced stuff because not everyone can draw extremely detailed “realistic” people.
4. I didn’t really notice any weakness with this tutorial.
Oops!!! Forgot to post the website on my blog post...... Augh, well here it is.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9PUDtVcWhY&feature=related
1. The tutorial is about how to make taco soap. It's sooo simple!!
ReplyDelete2. I could play a prank on people at any social event. I could even serve them to my family, but I don't think they'd be fooled. I could even make a feast of soap tacos! Ah, the options!!!!
3. I think that the tutorial is very clear. It gives very simple instructions, lists all of the materials that you'll need right up front, and it's very easy to understand what the process is.
4. It's a soap taco tutorial.... that's its weakness.
http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/make-an-inspiring-artistic-poster-with-drawn-elements/
ReplyDelete1. it is called "make an inspiring artistic poster with drawn elements" it teaches you to use drawn elements and to design brushes and use them together in one project.
2. It could just be a project to creatively express ourselves
3.it is very specific
4. the pictures don't say enough

~I don’t think there are weakness of the way the tutorial teaches the skills.

!. the tutorial is teaching how to make an ocean into a pie shaped figure, so you can see the inside of the "pie" and you see sharks and a sunken ship.
ReplyDelete2. This tutorial could help any project simply because it teaches you more things to do in photoshop, so you know more effects for anything you decide to do.
3. It goes step by step and circles the things you need to change.
5. The weaknesses in the tutorial is that they typing on someone of the things is a little hard to read and someone people could read it wrong and mess there hole project up. Also it is very long so that could make people give up easier then if it were shorter.

http://www.dragoart.com/tuts/7410/1/1/how-to-draw-owls.htm
ReplyDelete1.) This tutorial is on how to draw an owl. It has ten steps and has pictures for each step.
2.) These skills can be used if I ever have a project in which I sketch something and scan onto the computer to change up with graphics. I could also probably use these drawing skills on Adobe Illustrator.
3.) A strength in the way this person teaches is that the drawings alongside the steps are very clear and easy to follow. In addition, the artist gives some information on the different types of owls in case you want to draw a different type
4.) A weakness in the teaching of this tutorial is that the steps are not very detailed. It just says ‘draw a beak’ instead of ‘a beak that is curved a lot at the top…’ In addition, it is only a simple design and does not have many details that I would be interested in learning
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0D4xAXrGJQ
ReplyDelete1. This is a tutorial on how to ramp a slow motion clip.
2. This skill could be utilized in skateboarding, or a slow motion video.
3. It shows directly the program and how to do the effect.
4. Sounds very amateur, the person sounds like they don't know the program very well.
http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Vectorize-a-Human-Eye-in-Illustrator/60270
ReplyDelete1. The tutorial is teaching us how to vectorize a human eye on illustrator. It goes step by step from an image on photoshop to the image on illustrator and gives clear instructions for user friendliness.
2. A project that could showcase this tool is possibly a self portrait. After taking a picture on a digital camera and importing it into photoshop and illustrator, I could vectorize the eye to create a light effect.
3. The strengths of the way the tutorial teaches the skill is that it is on a youtube video which makes it easy to pause if you're having a hard time understanding the tutorial.
4. The weaknesses of the way the tutorial teaches the skill is that it over a half an hour. Frankly, I do not believe that that is very easy time to work with.
1. How to make a pinata
ReplyDelete2. We could all make really cool pinatas.
3. it gives very detailed step by step instructions of everything you have to do.

http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/blast_wave/
ReplyDelete1. It is teaching you how to use different assets and make a fake explosion.
2. I could do an action scene and use an explosion blast.
3. The strengths are that it is very easy to understand because he explains it very well step by step.
4. I think he goes very fast and needs to slow down but other than that if you are experienced and know what you are doing you will understand it.

1. Mark Crilley shows you how to draw a realistic (photorealistic) eye. He has the camera focused on the paper, and you watch as he draws an eye.
ReplyDelete2. I think the skills learned in this video could be utilized in all sorts of art-related projects. He emphasizes the importance of making sure that you draw what you actually SEE and not what you THINK you see. Perhaps we could draw something from a picture or from real life, with the focus being on what we actually see. In my art class at my previous school, we turned a picture upside down and drew it so that we couldn't draw what we thought we were seeing. Something like that might be good.
3. Mark Crilley talks to you throughout the video in a calm, friendly manner that makes learning an easy and enjoyable experience.
4. He didn't draw live the whole time, since it took awhile, and he had to basically summarize what he had just done. But I suppose if he hadn't done that, the video would have gone on for a long time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ25OngOLts
1. It teaches you how to draw an eye on paper

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r2qHTKPBmU
1. This is a FCP tutorial for creating a softish sort of look that is cinematic.
ReplyDelete2. I would use it for a dream sequence, or even to soften the features on someone's face.
3. I like how the tutor stays on FCP the whole time.
4. The end result actually doesn't look as different from the original clip as I had hoped.

1. The online tutorial is teachng you how to draw an eye with shadig and details.
ReplyDelete2. If you ever draw a picture of a person or draw an eye you can use the skills that are taught here.
3. The strengths of this tutorial are that it shows perfect shading and detail to each step.
4. The weaknesses to this tutorial is that theres too much happening in each step and it could be hard to keep up with every detail and drawing.
Link: http://newberryworkshop.com/Tutorial/eye/eye.html

1. This tutorial is an EYE tutorial, it's teaching how to draw a realistic eye, and it is a visual learning tutorial, meaning you learn by visuals instead of listening to someone speak.
ReplyDelete2. If we ever need to make a logo for an eyewear company, or an eye doctor, we could use this to help us make a beautiful eye graphic.
3. I, personally, am a visual learner. I love the song in this tutorial, so I enjoy watching it. It also describes the steps very nicely.

ReplyDelete1. This tutorial demonstrates how to make a paper airplane that is sublime.
2. A paper Airplane can be an excellent and cute prop. A good way to pass notes or introduce a hook into a plot. Or provide transportation for a family that... say... shrunk themselves.
3. This paper airplane is king among it's kind.The instructions are very clear. This kid obviously knows what he's doing.
4. He gets part of the directions backwards, as indicated by that guy who puts in a bunch of tags. Some short-sighted people might not see the use in a paper airplane... what fools.
