My Little Intro !!!

Hi there!!! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jotham Penalosa. I am 19 years old.


I am a first-year student at TUD (Technological University of Dublin) and I am studying Creative Digital Media. So far, I am enjoying the course a lot.


Now let me tell you more about myself. Let's start off with my hobbies, simple but can tell a lot about a person. I enjoy listening to music a lot, not any particular genre. It just depends on my mood.


Going on adventures with friends is probably my favorite hobby. I do enjoy nights out but i prefer to go out and explore and find a place to just relax and talk about everything.


I'm not really an athletic person and I don't take much interest in sports too, but I do go to the gym just to balance out all the unhealthy food and drinks I consume.


Haven't really had a favorite film until Joker had come out to the cinema. I particularly enjoyed this film because how it tackled the problem society impacts on some people and how unfair the world really is.

So now let's talk about food. It's hard to pick a favorite especially when it comes down to food but if I had to pick one, I would have to say pizza. I mean the combination of toppings is endless. From your plain cheesy margarita to something bizarre like tuna, egg and pineapple (not that I have tried that).


There isn’t much left about me to discuss. So, I guess this blogs purpose is to show you guys my daily go about in life as a student in hopes that you and everybody else who follow the blog can relate and enjoy another student’s journey in college and daily lifestyle.


Enjoy.

First Mission - Art of the Animated GIF

~Process~


The task my group and I have chose is the Art of the Animated GIF. No special reason as to why we have chosen that topic only for the fact that it is the most convenient out of the other topics available and without a doubt GIFs has become very popular over time. Our goal for this particular mission is to learn the background and process of making a GIF.  We are hoping that at the end of this mission that the three of us are able to turn the knowledge that we will acquire in to a presentation that our other colleagues can learn from. Our group is required to complete some task such as, make a 12-frame animation, a perfectly looping animated GIF, a GIF with a meaning behind it, and others.

The tool/app we are going to use is called "GIPHY". "GIPHY" is an app that contains possibly all the GIFs ever created, but whats great about "GIPHY" is that not only is it an app that stores our GIFs but also allow us to create or design our own GIF. Comparing it to the other tool/apps to create GIFs, "GIPHY" was not only simple and easy to use it was also FREEEEEE, perfect for us broke college students, but honestly though would you pay for an app that its only purpose is to make GIFs? No? Same.

From past presentations we have all agreed that the presentation must contain only a few words or sentences. This so that we have fully interaction with the audience and also allow us to prevent the audience from reading whats in front. This plan will not only have the full attention of our colleagues during the presentation but also in hopes that the take in more information when we deliver most of the presentation through what we know rather than reading the screen.
