In my Fundamentals of Design and Animation class, we have been working in Adobe Photoshop more in different activities and learning new tools. Certain tools I have used recently interested me, and I decided to research them further. These tools are the warp tools and the filers. To get to the warp tool, you must transform a shape, or press Ctrl+T, then click on the warp icon. The warp tool is a tool used to alter the shape of an image from different points. With it, it is possible to stretch and pull your image, making a straight line wavy or adding smoothness to a curve. It can be used to completely alter a shape, or be used to fine tune something and make it look the way you want it to. The different filters you can use add new textures or colors to your image. You can change effects or styles to your entire image to create something completely different, or like the warp tool, you can fine tune to perfection.

Super Mario Odyssey is an incredibly popular game made by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch that came out on October 28, 2017. In Super Mario Odyssey, you play as Mario, Nintendo's well known character that has been in many popular games in the past, such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario Odyssey is the next 3-D game with Mario in it since Super Mario 3-D Land for the Nintendo 3DS. In this game, you traverse many worlds with different unique themes and complete fun challenges. There are worlds with many different themes that all feel very inspired and original, such as New Donk City in the Metro Kingdom, the Sand Kingdom, the Seaside Kingdom, and Bowser's 's Kingdom. One of the most fun and original parts in Super Mario Odyssey is Mario's new ability. He can now throw his hat, which is actually a hat possessed by a ghost named Cappy, to become, or "capture", objects and enemies. There is a wide variety of things you can capture, and it is very fun to find new things to capture and see what you can do with them. One of the most fun parts about Super Mario Odyssey is the different things you collect. You collect "Power Moons" which are used to power your ship that takes you to each kingdom. Each Power Moon is extremely fun to find and collect, and it feels satisfying to find them all and find the numerous secrets. When it comes to aesthetics, Super Mario Odyssey is not lacking. Each character is colorful and looks cheery, and the different worlds and environments are diverse, yet similar in that they are all beautiful in their unique ways. Super Mario Odyssey is an incredibly fun game that can be played by yourself or with a friend. It is fun to complete and it is fun to replay or collect everything after you have completed it.
In my Fundamentals of Design and animation class, we created a color palette used in a few pictures for a game we pretended to describe and use colors as a selling technique. The colors of certain game covers can effect selling by giving the consumer a certain feeling based on the culture of the place they live in. For example, the color blue in American and Western culture is calm and cool. If blue was used on the cover of a game, it would convey a calm emotion to the person looking at it. I did more research on color palettes that would convey calmness in Japanese culture. I also researched a more specific color palette, one that would be used to create a painting of space. In my research on a calm palette in Japanese culture, most of the colors were pastel colors. There were many light pink colors, some light blue colors, and some ivory and cream colors. I discovered that these colors convey a loving and peaceful emotion in common Japanese culture. When doing research on the space or galaxy palette, most of the colors were black, purple, and dark blue. This is very common in galaxy themed pictures, items, or drawings.
