Calender, Month of July
In this assignment I had to create a calendar with any theme. This calendar is based on friends and family. The first step was to set up the actual calendar using Microsoft Publisher. A template was used and included the days for every month. The first month to create was July. I opened another blank document in Microsoft Publisher and split the page in half. The bottom half of the calendar were the days and the top half were pictures of who the month is for. Using the other document in Publisher, I saved one of the months and inserted the image into the other new document. On the top half of the calendar, I inserted an image I saved from Google, and set the image as the background. Then inserted two pictures of my friend and I and moved them on top of the blue background. I also added a shape to fill some space. There is a textbox in the left side of the calendar describing who and why this month is for this person. I researched some information about the month of July, like the moon cycle. Using paint, I created an image that looked like the moon phases. When I was done, I inserted them into the calendar and moved them to the day where the moon phases are. For the bottom half of the calendar, I inserted another picture of my friend and I. Using the formatting tab, I set the picture as the background so it was behind the calendar days. During this assignment, I learned how to make the calendar days have no fill and how to make a calendar in general. If I could do this differently I would filter some of the pictures differently and set a different color for the border around the pictures.
Months of June and August
For this assignment I had to create the back side of July, which were months June and August. I used the same Publication just a different page. It was called sheet number 7. The top of the page was June, with the month grid and the bottom was the month of August. In June I inserted a picture of my cousin and I and set the order to send the picture behind the calendar grid. I lightened the picture so the dates and information about the dates could be read easier. I researched information about the month of June, like Flag Day, Fathers Days and Summer Solstice. Using paint, I drew pictures that related to those events and inserted them to that date. For August, using Photoshop I filtered and edited pictures different ways. I made a college of my friends and I on the Publication document. I inserted a textbox and wrote information about why August is dedicated to my friends and set a picture to be behind the textbox. I filled the background of the month to be pink to add color by inserting another textbox and filling in with color. During this assignment I learned how to brighten the images on Publisher and merge the cells on the grid. If I could do this differently I would filter the picture behind the month of June so it would not look so yellow.
Picture Edit
This is a picture that I edited on Photoshop. Using the crop tool the first thing I did was crop the picture and made it smaller. The original picture had different shadings of light in it. Using the dodge and burn tool on Photoshop I made the lighter parts darker and the darker parts of the picture brighter. I had different colors into both of our hairs also using the draw tool. After I edited the original picture I filtered the image with the modifications I had made. The filter I used for this image was Poster Edge. During this assignment I learned what the dodge and burn tool was and how to use it.

I also added a boarder the color of purple around the textbox. For August I inserted a picture of my friends and I and set it to be behind the calendar grid. I lightened the picture so the dates and information about the dates could be read easier. I researched information about the month of August and holidays and birthdays that are in August.

If I could do this differently I would choose a different picture for the bottom because some of the faces are washed out.
