Matte Painting

There aren't any techiniques that I really used that were interesting, except for how I got the trees. What I did was use the magic wand tool to copy most of the tree but not all of it in different parts. This way it looked like different trees. I also just flipped them over and changedt their sizes so they wouldn't be the same.

Google Map Parody

This wasn't really new to me, I already had graphic design. It was a fun review of things I did last year. I didn't really use new techniques, mostly basic clone stamps, and changing the opacity level. The rest was following the tutorial.

Abel Ruiz-My Bio

For those of you who were wondering, I'm Mexican not Indian. Yes, I had many people think that I was Indian. I have two older sisters, Jessica who is 28 and Elizbeth who is 25. They're both married and have children. They, like most of my family, live in Mexico, but I do have some aunts and uncles in the US. I've lived most of my life in the US and I've only visited Mexico. I've also lived in Canada for about three years and I learned a little bit of French. Unfortunately I'm forgetting most of it and I'm not taking French class which would probably help me a lot. In all I know how to speak English, Spanish, and a little bit of French. My hobbies include: playing my guitar, playing video games, playing paintball, listening to music, and playing sports with my friends. I'm not involved in any activities except tiger boot camp, if you consider that an activity. This summer I competed in a swim team, went to summer school to get ahead in class, and I went to Mexico. What I liked the most of my summer was going up in a hot air balloon and going to some of the beaches in Mexico. This year I hope to figure out what it is I want to choose as a career. I also hope to learn from all of my classes, get good grades in each one of them, and make some new friends along the way.
