GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Since setting up Google Analytic i have learned a lot about the program. Analytics gives multiple different types of information to the webpage admin. First of all it shows how many people have visited your webpage, and from what country. It also tells you how long the average visit from each country/state is. For example i have nineteen visitors from Vermont with an average time of 4 mins spend on my website. I also have visitors from Florida and Cali, with around 45 seconds of page usage. Another interesting application is the Traffic Source map. It shows whether people searched from your website, entered the URL, or were referred from another site. Around 70% of the people that viewed my web page were referred from other sites. I thought that the graph showing the dates that people viewed your website interesting because it shows the admin what days of the week people are viewing your site which could correlate with what days the admin posts. For example the days of the week that people view my websites are mainly the days that i have Digital- Media class.

In this class assignment we changes the colours, and added new images.

3 more Images

This time in class we used three of our own images and blended them together, this time i used the smudge tool as-well as the gradient tool, i believe that this helped with the blending effect.

Tres Images

In Class we combined three images, removed the water mark, and blended the colours. We used the gradient tool to blend the images together, and the clone tool to remove the water mark. This is a helpful skill because in the future when i want to combine images to make them look like a single object or even put objects in an image that do not fit i can use the gradient tool. This is also helpful for creating advertisements. 

Filter Gallery

In this class assignment we used one image and changed it four times in the filter gallery. This is a useful tool because we could create animations or pencil drawing of pictures to save time.

Rainforest Trees

Today in class we replaced tree bark with animal patterns. We used the inverse command to select only parts of the image we need. In the future this exercise would be useful wend creating ads and company designs.

exploding carrots

In class we place a stick of dynamite between two carrots. We adjusted the colours and used the dodge/burn tool untill the carrot was a similar colour to the dynamite. These tools were extremely helpful when one is adding an object into a picture it does not belong. We also re-sized the dynamite to fit the carrots. These three tools make using photoshop that much easier, they allow someone to place objects in pictures and make it seem as if such object was in the photo.

Whats The Difference

In This photo i removed myself swinging on the rope and i changed the Hue adjustments of the Sky and the Lake

In this photo from New-Zealand moved myself higher, and took the footsteps away from the rigth hand side of the in-run. I also removed the back packs that were close to the lip.

In HTis photo of Shane Cross i copied him twice, and changed the picture to a Black&White

COW?

In this class assignment we changed the colour balance of the sky and removed sheep. We used the magic pen tool and the clone tool. this could be helpful for future class assignments or when i want to remove or change parts of an image.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is an free internet program run by Google. It tell you information, such as, how many people visit your blog, what countries they are visiting from, what sites on your blog they visit, there time on your blog and many many many other things. My favorite application on the Analytics page is the choice to view "Traffic Sources", this gives the web masters the opportunity see how people stumbled across their websites. Traffic Sources also tells the owner what key works people have searched to locate your website.

Twitter

Believe it or not but people can actually get sued over twitter. here are a few ways to prevent getting sued on twitter.

1. Take Your Mother’s Advice 2. Avoid “Twitter Rage”/Blow Off Some Steam 3. Send A Direct Message Instead of a Straight Tweet 4. State Your Opinion Instead of a Factual Assertion . Don’t Use Your Name As Your Twitter Handle 6. Check Your Sources 7. Lay Off The Booze.

The list carries one for a while. Eventhough twitter is a place to express your self opinion and thoughts, some twiterperts say to be careful, because you can get sued over twitter. While some of these tips to prevent getting sued are questionable, the best choice is to follow your common sense.
