Since I won't be taking summer classes this year, I took job opportunities given to me by my generous mentors. I already finished one week of a series of ICT seminars in WMSU (Western Mindanao State University) for BS ComSci students. I gave a 2-day workshop about Adobe Illustrator and taught them how to create logos, icharacters, illustrations and 3D graphics. Here are some of my favorite outputs of my students.

Here's one of those fun things we used to do in Friendster. Don't know what friendster is? It's the first social network that became a big bit before facebook.

In line with the Scitech Month and SIMO, I gave a workshop at the advanced computer laboratory on advanced photoshop. Some of them enrolled online through SIMO while others were invited from other schools. It started one hour late because we have to install another software that we will be using. The workshop is all about using 3d renders and Typography. First we made a 3d text using Xara 3D and saved it as a jpeg file. Afterwhich, we pimped the text using different layer styles, gradient techniques and ornamental brushes. I also taught them a technique on making vista-inspired backgrounds. It was hard teaching the students because some of them are not really equiped with the basics of the program. We finished on time despite of these difficulties.

Here are some of the outputs:
