What is Computer Science • Computer science is the study of theoretical foundations of information and computation and their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some emphasize the computation of specific results (such as computer graphics), while others relate to properties of computational problems (such as computational complexity theory). Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems. A further subfield, human-computer interaction, focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable and universally accessible to people.

What is Computer Graphics • Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science and is concerned with digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses twodimensional graphics and image processing. Computer graphics is often differentiated from the field of visualization, although the two have many similarities.

What is Animation • Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2 -D or 3 -D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

How Do we use Computer Graphics • 2 D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital images, mostly from two-dimensional models and by techniques specific to them. The word may stand for the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques, or for the models themselves. 2 D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drawing, advertising. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two-dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3 D computer graphics

What are the main functions of Photoshop& Macromedia • The functions on Photoshop can be used to enhance photos and create original images. Photoshop offers a full assortment painting, drawing and retouching tools to help modify photos. The functions of Photoshop include an advanced File Browser, Customized workspace, History Palette and Filter Gallery. • Adobe Fireworks, is a bitmap and vector graphics editor. It was originally developed by Macromedia, which Adobe acquired in 2005, and aimed at web designers (with features such as: slices, the ability to add hotspots etc. ). It is designed to integrate easily with other former Macromedia products, such as the popular Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash.

What did you learn in this class • I have learned a lot in this class. It has opened my eyes to things I didn’t know my computer can do. It also introduced me to different functions such as Photoshop, Adobe Flash, macromedia. I now know that to be successful in life, I would have to know my Computer very well.
