Welcome to my Digital Media I web page. This page includes all the work I did in this class over the 24 - 25 school year.

For our first assignment, we made a banner for the Google Classroom and had our classmates vote on which one they wanted. Along with the banner, we had to write a paragraph as to why our banner should be chosen. Mine sadly wasn't chosen, but I still think it looks cool. I made this banner using Canva.
I was practicing how to use clipping masks for an assignment. I chosen an image and then made a clipping mask with a word that matches the image.
I made a poster with a quote on it. I added an image of Sisyphus in the background to go along with the quote.
For Mrs. Flowers last day at DATA, we made graphics for her. I made a penguin holding a sign because Mrs. Flowers loves penguins. Her room was covered in penguin plushies.
I used a custom brush pack to make a Starry Night Photo. After I was done with the first, I made a second with my own little twists.

I designed a cereal box with DATA as the theme.
The background says : 00100000 01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100111 01100101 01101110 01101001 01110101 01110011 00100001.
I used a fall leave as an outline in Photoshop as practice using the brush tool. I made a cool gradient background using the brush tool and then using the Gaussian Blur filter.

Recreation
I made a Spooky Silhouette for Halloween. I put a black-to-purple gradient background, a blood moon, a tree with tire swing, gravestones, crosses, a house, and ghosts.
I got to redesign a company's logo for a project and I chose Hawaiian Bros. On the top is the logo I made and on the bottom is the style guide I made for the redesign. The style guide explains why I decided to make the redesign look the way it does. I've included the first sketch I made of the new logo.
In Photoshop, I tried to make fire in a fireplace using the brush tool and some adjustment layers.

In Illustrator, I practiced using the pen tool to create different parts of a monster.
Note : I did not create the monster in the 4th image. It came along with the tutorial.
I also used a website called The Bézier Game to practice using the pen tool.
In Illustrator, I made my name in block letters as practice using the pen tool. To make the "A" I had to use the Pathfinder Tool Minus Front (subtracts from shape area) Shape Mode.
I used Photoshop to make a propaganda poster. I made my poster about missing work since this is a problem for many students. I edited a photo of Skyward to show how missing assignments can affect your grade. I used the Rhetorical Question and False Dilemma propaganda techniques to convey my message.
I used the symmetry tool in Photoshop to make three symmetrical snowflakes. I made the background by using the brush tool to draw splotches in different shades of blue and then use the Motion Blur effect on them. For the mini snowflakes, I turned my three snowflakes into brushes and then adjusted the settings. Click here to download them!
This is a bingo card I made in Photoshop to study for my semester final.
I used Adobe Express to create an ugly holiday sweater.
To re-familiarize myself with Premiere Pro, I made a video of a beach being invaded by aliens.
GalileaV_AlienInvasion.mp4In Premiere Pro, I made a commercial for a company called Press Cafe. I was given a folder with video assets in it. I used only these assets to make the commercial. Click here to view the assets.
GalileaV_PressCafe_Commercial.mp4For Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I took one minute of his "I Have A Dream" Speech and made a video of it. Click here to read the entire speech.
MLK Project Velez.mp4Shot 1 - Wide Shot : Shot from some distance and if filming a person, the full body is shown
Shot 2 - Medium Shot : Shot from a medium distance from the object being filmed and shows the person from the waist up
Shot 3 - Establishing Shot : Sets the scene and is used to establish setting and to show transitions between locations
Shot 4 - Close-Up : The entire frame is filled with the actor's face, important detail, or object
GalileaV_FourShotMovie.mp4I used Google Slides to make task cards about the Stages of Production.
I researched Tacoma, Washington for a project. This is the poster I made to convince people to visit Tacoma, Washington.
Note : I image traced a photo of Mount Rainier.
The original photo can be found here.
I was given one class period to edit together a short video. I was given the videos and nothing else. I had to find sound effect and background music. It was stressful, but I managed to turn it in on time.
GalileaV_QuickEditChallenge.mp4For my Virtual Tour Project, I made a three minute tour of Tacoma, Washington. This video goes along with the poster I made.
GalileaVelez_TacomaWashingtonTour.mp4For Teacher Appreciation Week, I made 3 thank you cards for 3 teachers (MC, Ibarra, Jones). I sent them these cards through an email. The emails had a message attached for each teacher.
Dear Mr. Marc-Charles,
I like the way you teach and you make math my favorite class of the school day. You introduced me to DeltaMath which has helpful tutorials to help me find the right answer. Your teaching methods have improved my math skills. I also like the way you do notes with visual examples and math problems. Thank you so much for being a great teacher!
Dear Ms. Ibarra,
Throughout this school year, you've been a great ELAR teacher. I enjoyed the books we read together and the easy-to-follow notes we took. You made me enjoy going to ELAR every day. Thank you for being a wonderful teacher!
Dear Ms. Jones,
