              The last video I saw from the soft skill video was about synopsis . It was summing up all the videos we saw in like the Professionalism, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication, Enthusiasm and Attitude, Teamwork and, Networking. The synopsis was showing us why we need all these skills for our jobs or any kind of business job you are working in our applying for or in my case why it will be helpfully to apply these skills in Digital Design. When we need all these skills and to be good people in our jobs. I learned that all these skills will help us be good in the future wherever we will be we need to remember these skills because they will help us succeed and how this skills helped us last year in Visual Design and this year in Digital Design. That's what I learned from the soft skill video about synopsis and all the other videos I saw today.

Enthusiasm and Attitude

          The other video we saw from soft skills was about Enthusiasm and Attitude in your job, business, and school. This video was showing us how to act when we are going for a job interview or any kind of  business jobs you want to go to. You need to have a positive attitude and show your future boss that you are ready and are ready to learn. You also need to have a positive enthusiasm and be ready and willing to face the challenges ahead in your job and challenges your boss will throw at you. This year in Digital Design I learned that you need to be enthusiasm about the things you get grades you get and have a good attitude because that's what some people will judge you on if you have a good Enthusiasm and Attitude in things you will do. Thats what I learned from the Enthusiasm and Attitude video in soft skills.

Communication

        The other video I saw had to do with communication skills. It was talking about how we can improve our communication skills in our jobs, business, and school. It was saying how when don't notice ourselves when we write or talk that we are abbreviating words to people we talk to or to our papers we write. It also said that if we don't work on our communication skills people we talk to, write to, or text won't understand what we are talking about and they will be confused. I learned last year that communication skills was very important in Visual Design and that was my weakest part of me this year in Digital Design I could say I've improved my communication skills a little more that they were last year. Communication skills is very important because thats how you need to communicate with others in your class to get things done and you can all be on the same page.That was what we saw in the video about communication skills in the soft skills video.

Critical Thinking and Problem solving

        The forth video I saw was about critical thinking and problem solving. I learned that it is good to be an active thinker because you can find ways to solve problems that you think have no solution. I also learned that for every problem we have our ways we can always find an solution to, you can even ask people to help you. For example in Visual Design I remember that I had lot's of problem with Photoshop CS6 and I ask for help. This year I remember running into a problem in my project 5 which was in Adobe Flash CS6 and I remember  asking for advice on how to fix it, they can and help me fix it, they help me think of a solution to my problem. That's what i learned from the soft skill video about critical thinking and problem solving.

Teamwork

         The third video I saw has to do with Teamwork and how it is important to succeed. I learned that when we do things as a team and one person from our work place or school wants to give us all the credit for the project we don't take all the credit we make sure we tell them the people that help us. I also learned that working as a team is good because we have lots of ideas and we will finish the work together. Also last year in Visual Design I learned that Teamwork was very important because for our finally project we had to work together brain storm together all of our ideas to see how we were gonna do this project and what our layout was gonna be for the final. In digital Design teamwork is very important because we help each other out with stuff we find hard and can't do it we asked for help because as a team anything can be done. That was what I learned from the soft skill video about teamwork and working together as a team.

Professionalism

  The second video I watch had to with professionalism. I learned that if we have a job or work for a business company we have to have lots of professionalism in that job. Which means come to work on time and do as you are told or do things that you know will be told and avoid the boss coming to you telling you what to do or how to do it every time. I also learned that we have to have great eye contact with our boss and our co-workers at anytime and especially during work time. What I also learned was that you also have to be well dressed and ready to work. I also learned that Professionalism just dosen't apply to when you are working but when you are in school, because this year we had a trip were we had to dress professional and this is good because you give a good image to the person you are with and they will think that he is dress and you didn't have to come dress for this trip without telling the teacher i also learned because last year in visual design we had to dress up when we had to present our project so we can get use to it when we have to present stuff to people at a job, internship or wherever you will be. That was what I learned from watching the video in soft skill about professionalism.

Networking

    The first video I just saw had to do with networking and I can say that I learned that networking can really help you a lot when you are searching for a job or anything in specific or it can even help you find internship opportunities, networking is a very helpfully thing because with networking you can accomplish lot's of things for example I use networking for my works in Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver, and other things like looking for jobs, internship and know to research some colleges. I learned that networking is helpfully in a way because today most of your jobs you will have to deal with some sort of networking to get things done, with networking you can do lots of things like organize fills or fill papers lots of things today are done threw networking. That's was what I learned from soft skills video about networking.

Project 5

       For my project 5 I had to make an interactive storyboard so the topic i wanted to do on was helping a person get to their destination. I have made 5 scenes to my project it starts off with the person you will help get to its destination it wants to go to the movie theaters and the person dosen't know how to get there. For me the hardest part of this Project 5 was getting the action script to work on all my scenes because when I had a final product and tested the movie in Adobe Flash CS6 it wasn't working at all and when i troubleshoot my problem which was that i had the action script on frame 1 and when it wanted to play it would allow the other layers play because the went beyond that frame 1 so what I was moved the Action Script to frame 60 and when I applied this to my other scenes and I saved my work and went to test it it was working for me good. Doing this project was a good experience for me because it will get me ready for my next project which it will be to make a video game.

Computer Science Career Fair

             Our second trip in the spring term we went to was to the Computer Science Fair in the Armory Track in Manhattan. This trip was a good trip because their were some colleges their and some companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft etc. This was a good trip for me because I went and asked them if they had internships or summer internships. Two places I went to and asked if they had internships was Facebook and Google because those are two places were one day I would like to work for, so I asked them if they had internships or summer internships they said the yes for the summer of my senior year so i'll pay attention to that. Also I went to some colleges that were there and I asked what programs they were offering to major in and some had the programs I was interested in and looking forward to visiting their college. This was a good trip because I got the time to visit some companies and some colleges and fid some information about them.      

The New York Historical Society

        We had a trip to The New York Historical Society were we went inside the Silicon City part of the museum to look at some old technology inventions like the The Punched Card System, this was an invention to help people in the 1980s collect data on how many people are living in the country, city, this was a faster way to collect this data because before this they had a bunch of people sitting around collecting and connecting all the data, this invention help them collect Data 3 times faster than having the people sitting around and doing it by their selfs. I saw some other interesting stuff in this part of the museum like the first video arcade game called Space Invaders. When I saw this I went to it and I started playing it, it was a good game I enjoyed it a lot. This trip to the The New York Historical Society was a good trip I enjoyed this trip.     

Lab 27

          This is my LAB 27 for Lab 27 I opened up my Lab 26 I made before and I opened it in Flash and I saved it as Lab 27. Then I created two graphic symbols and they are both labeled as Finish were you either win the game or lose the game. I also resized my ball to make it a little smaller so you can move it around. I also resized my controllers and moved them to the bottom left corner of the screen. This was a really challenging lab for me because I had trouble making the Finish line work and take you to my other scenes like Try Again scene or Good Job you won scene. For this lab to work I have to added a new code towards the bottom of my scene one, with that code being added their it shall work. I needed help for this lab because the code I added was not working so I had to rewrite the whole code again and I solved my problem, then my Lab 27 was finally working.

Lab 26

            This is my Lab 26 for Lab 26 we had to create a shape, the shape I created was a circle. the next step in this Lab was to create a control I create the control by making four triangles, then I had to make sure that each triangle in the control panel had a working function so they could go Up, Down, Left, and Right. Finally after this I had to added code to this lab so the control panel could work/ control the ball so at the end you could move the ball just by using the the controller on the top right. Finally the hardest part of this lab for me was adding code so that you could move the ball just by using the keyboard arrows. This was hard because the code I typed was wrong so I had to go back and look at the problem then I had to fix this problem. After I fix my problem I saved my work and I went to test this Lab and it was working for me. The hardest part for me was learning the new code and applying it to the lab.

Lab 25

     This is my Lab 25 for Lab 25 we had to create two two buttons that will take you from home to page 2. The two buttons I made, I used the circle tool to make them and I colored them black. This was something new we learned in Adobe Flash CS6 so at first this was challenging for me because I couldn't find a way to get it to work, I need to find the problem I had and I have to trouble shoot this problem and my problem was that in the properties I didn't give the circle one or two a name than I named the circle_btn and after this I saved this and I click command enter and I tested my lab too see if everything was working fine and it was finally working. The most hard part about this lab was getting the new code I learned to worked and getting the buttons to work.

Lab 24

       For Lab 24 we had to create a mask layer from our old lab which was lab 23,  to do this I opened lab 23 and I imported some of my stuff from lab 23 and i tried to make the road a mask+tween but when I finally finished it came out really bad i tried fixing it but when I fixed it then the mask+tween would not work at the end of it when I wanted to play it, it would not work the mask+tween was not working so I just tried trouble shoot this problem but it wasn't working for me so I just submitted what I have. Overall I had a lot of trouble with this Lab 24 because I couldn't do the mask+tween correctly.
