Google Analytics Findings

I can't say that my blog has gotten so much activity to drastically change the data on my Google Analytics findings. I do have more visits, but it is just more from the same areas, not really anything new. But, then again, there's not really anything worth looking at if you're not involved in digital media class. I now have had 45 visits (only 18 unique visitors), up from five the last time I blogged about it. I now have visitors from Utah, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Washington DC, Vermont, New York, and Woburn, MA. Despite the variety of locations, Vermont and Woburn are the only places where anyone has spent more than zero seconds on the site. Woburn has 27 views, with 33% new visits. In Vermont, I have visits from South Burlington, South Londonderry, and West Dover, but South Londonderry is the only one with any time (I'm thinking that that's where my internet might show up as). The average time on my site is 2:48, a big improvement from 00:00 last time! I also have 40% new visits, 79 page views, and an average of 1.76 pages viewed per visit. So overall, I have a lot more usage, but I think its probably all from class work, which isn't surprising since I haven't used it for anything else.

Merging Photos

We learned how to merge photos in this assignment. I learned how to use the gradient tool, and how to add a vector layer. Also, I worked more on using the clone tool. This would be useful for making brochures or flyers where you want to display a lot of pictures in a way that you want to relate a lot of pictures. You could also use it to merge related pictures, for example a landscape, so that it looks like it is all one picture. It could be useful also to effectively mix two things that do not belong together to make a funny looking picture.

I thought this was a fun assignment. I learned how to change the color and pattern of a specific object.  It was cool that you can keep the texture of the existing object by changing the opacity. It was difficult to make the edges blend in, especially when the background is a very different pattern than the object that I changed the color of. This would be useful for creating eye catching advertisements or to change what someone is wearing. It wouldn't be totally useful if you're editing pictures to look realistic. It would be good though for making creative pictures.
