Hey Trevor, I can’t post up my flash on to the website because i didnt have internet on friday and now i need to install flash on my computer to upload it into the page

For my final project I will be working on Flash. I think I still need to work on this more because it doesn’t have that much attraction to people. My flash project looks boring so I will add music, interesting buttons, and more effects to attract viewers attention.

My name is Jose Antonio Trujillo. I couldn’t found any meaning for my first or last name but I did found out what my middle name means. Antonio comes from historical Italian region of Tuscany. Antonio means inestimable or strength. he following pictures represent my name. The Mexican flag as the background represents me because I’m Mexican. The two coat of arms represent the two different states of Mexico that I represent. The coat of arm in the left is from the state of Oaxaca That’s where my mom is from. My dad is from Veracruz that’s the coat of arm in the right side. The funny thing about my mom and dad being from different states of Mexico is that people from these states don’t get along that well. The cross represents me because I go to a Christian church. The stack of money is in my name because I can never be without money. I just feel weird when I’m without it or feel frustrated. The airplane is there because I like traveling a lot to Mexico during the summer. I like traveling because I go to both places where my mom and dad were born at and I spend a month over at Oaxaca and Veracruz. The word chepe is there because that’s what my family and friends have called me since I was little.

The Yukon also represents me because I like driving Yukon’s and they are one of my favorite trucks. The Fat Joe picture is there because that’s what my friends at school call me. They call me Fat Joe because I would always be leaning back on my chair during class or when I was driving I would have my seat all the way back and it looked like I was leaning back. My friends started calling me Fat Joe in the beginning of this year. One of my friends came up with the name while we were in Algebra 2 class, he was listening to a Fat Joe song and he saw me leaning back that’s when he came up with the name. So when ever my friends see me they say ” Fat Joe and Lean Back.”

I picked these images on my montage because they represent my community. The Boys & Girls Club logo is on my montage, because all the young people in East Palo Alto (EPA) go there to have fun and some high school students go there to work. The stack of money symbolizes that people in EPA don’t like to be without money they just feel uncomfartable being without cash. The Dodge Charger police car is in the montage because EPA has just been equipped with new police cars due to car chases and they needed some fast cars. The Dodge Charger at the bottom symbols that many people are into muscle cars. The dices present that you can see people gambling in the streets for money. The Mexican flag is there because in EPA mexicans are the highest race represnted in EPA. The SF logo is there with the other letters added, which spell out, “six fifty”, thats EPA’s area code. The word “rouge” is there because its a word that everyone in EPA uses to call someone. The word rouge is like any other word like dude and homeboy. The homeboys with red on the back are there because mostly nortenos control EPA; they are the ones on the top so surenos (scraps) the opposing gang are just a little bit of people. The farm workers union flag is there because many people from EPA were in the union fighting for their rights and made it possible for some rights to be given to them. The Retro One Jordans are posted because the community likes wearing jordans. The bbq grill is posted because you can daily see people having bbq outside their houses. The hyphy juice is there because I like buying juices. The basketball is there because you can always see someone playing basketball and also because basketball is my favorite sport. Also, the Yukon is there because you mostly see people driving Yukon’s. Myself, I drive a black Yukon and its one of my favorite cars because they are big and comfortable and when you fix up the Yukon’s with rims, tvs, and a sound system they cost more money and look good. The reason the montage is red is because I like the color red and all the pictures go together with the same color.

Community to me means a place where all people get along and don’t fight each other. They instead protect each other. Also the people in the community work together to make their community a better place to live at and make it less dangerous. Overall a community is more like a family, they make decisions together and protect over their people.

Analysis Questions

1. At the beginning my avatar’s initial appearance didn’t look like me. The avatar was tall, white, skinny, and had long hair.

2. The features I first started to fix were the size of the head, eyes, chin size. At first I thought that it would be easy but I took much time than what I had expected. It was hard editing my face because I would fix my eyes and than something else would look wrong because of the way the eyes were. Every time I edited my avatar something else would come out wrong.

3. The easiest steps to replicate were the clothes I was wearing, my skin color, and hair color. Those features were not complicated as the head size and eyes.

4. The most difficult features that were hard to replicate were the size of the eyes and head size. The eyes section had a lot of things that you had to fix like you had to make sure that both eyes weren’t further apart and were close to the nose as they look in real life. Also the head size was difficult to change because if you changed it the eyes that you had just fixed would have another shape.

5. I think fixing the features of the avatar were hard to fix because there were several sections for every feature of the avatar. It was hard because every time edited something new on the avatar something else was to get fix because you had just changed a section.

6. I used about about forty-five attributes to reshape my avatar but there are hundred and forty attributes.

7. To fully replicate my appearance their would have to add more choices for one to pick.

8. The avatar reminds me of myself because of the skin color and clothes it has on.
