Genius Hour #4

With the evolution of the project that we are working on, we saw that the writings and titles of the project we were working on was based on the dates and information of the first events of the NBA. With what we noticed we decided to changed the project not on the history of the NBA, although it is true we decided to changed the topic/title. Making it so it is called "The First of the NBA". In which this case it does not change any of our work and in fact support it. So far Prezi has been a useful tool in helping us realizing this. As well as being able to work on the same page all at once on different computers, by adding each other on Prezi making work much more simple.  

Air Brush Pipe 2

Though with the previous air brush pipe I was unable to save the image I have been working on, luckily I remembered what I did previous class. The image was rough but I still got the job done, little details mean everything. For this project the quick selection tool and the paint brush were the main tools used. Here was the result.

Air Brush Pipe

So today in class we were able to use the air brush tool and magic wand tool mostly. This was different because of the amount of patience needed to use these tools was very significant. This was due to the many eye-hard lighting within the picture or either crooked lines. Its still a working progress but I wish to complete it soon.

Genius Hour #3

So in this weeks genius hour, our group found a video on Youtube that sums up the the entire history of the NBA in a commercial. This was aired last Christmas to promote "NBA forever" on TNT. This was the title of the commercial, also in my opinion the greatest commercial ever! It features all of the greats matched up no matter what era it was in. That was the beauty of the commercial seeing the history collide with the present type feeling. Youtube has been a useful tool in our research lately.

  

Genius Hour #2

So for the first official research work for the history of the NBA, looked up Google and found many things. Out of the things newly discovered I have found out that before the NBA there was two major basketball leagues. So to make things less complex they decided to merge in the year 1949 August 3rd. Hopefully we can base most of the research off this to start off great.

Genius Hour #1

So today was the second week of genius hour, to explain it more its basically a presentation of what you are passionate about. So I have decided to work in a group with Jr and Komoro. We discussed different topics such as Ebola, The Illuminati and even Isis. Though these topics are relevant to this day, we have decided to work on the topic about the history of the NBA. This block was more of a brain storm type day. I look forward to sharing ours passions of the NBA using Prezi. Our research with continue on the next day we work on genius hour.
