    Hello! My name is Gavin Eshenbaugh and I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was born and mostly raised around the area, moving many times during my upbringing. Even living in Alabama for a short time during my early childhood. My family eventually settled back in a small town named Sewickley where I attended elementary, middle and high school. 


    Sports and athletics have always been a big part of my life though the three sports I’ve spent the most time with are football, track and field, and wrestling. And I am always willing to pick up something new as well. One of my biggest accomplishments is becoming a 2x All-American javelin thrower in the AAU Junior Olympics. Over the past year, I have gotten more into soccer, bouldering, and volleyball. I have a great group of friends who like to stay active and compete with each other. We all hit the gym and workout as well as play sports. My family has always been around me when it included sports. My sister is also an All-American javelin thrower as well as a state champion in wrestling. My dad started coaching football when I was in youth football and loved it so much that he stuck with it until I was out of high school. Throughout the years, he has coached for many different teams for a multitude of sports. He currently is the head coach of a travel softball team and an assistant defensive coordinator for a high school football team.


    Something I am excited to learn in this class is animation. Growing up as a kid, I was always into cartoons. I was always excited for new episodes to come out and would run up into my room whenever they would release. To see how this process is done would be really cool.

 In this first video, the creator teaches you how to use the free transform tool. Similar to the select tool, this tool allows you to select, resize, and rotate frames. But in contrast, whenever you go to change the size of a picture, it resizes not only the frame, but the size of the picture keeping everything in ratio. This could be a helpful tool whenever you are quickly going around editing the placement of your pictures on your worksheet. This video was short and easy to follow, so applying this tool could be applied to your projects quickly.  In this next video, this creator shows us how to use the convert shape tool. This allows the user to turn any shape into another. There are only a few buttons that need to be hit, so it would be easy for anyone to find and apply to their work. I liked this video because not only did it show how to change the shapes using the convert shape tool, but it gave us other ways to change shapes including using the pen tool. I think I could ...

Mixer Brush Tool      In this video, the mixer brush tool is used. I think this tool would be easy to use, but it could be used in a lot of cool ways. The way it can mix colors really reminds of an Apple advertisement for an IPhone or IPad. I think it is neat how the brush can mix multiple colors on the screen, sort of like how a real brush could mix colors from different colored paints. I believe making more advertisements with this tool would work out well and could attract people’s attention. Something interesting I found about this tutorial video was how the creator would highlight and zoom in on the parts of his screen he was using to give clear directions to the viewer. It was easy to follow along and anybody could understand what he was explaining. Spot Healing Brush      Another easy to use tool is the spot healing brush. This tool allows the user to remove any objects from an image with just a click and drag. This tool could be really helpful when ...

  I found this image and thought it would be quite difficult to recreate. The color streaks look like they fit perfectly into the environment and I am not sure how the artist was able to accomplish this look. It reminds me of someone using a camera with slower shutter speeds to make moving light appear like it it staying where it once was. I wonder if there was maybe something else in the man's place that got cut out and replaced that originally had light.  This next picture inspired me to put myself in a photo with famous people. My idea is to put myself in the comedy movie "Rush Hour". This movie is about two detectives from two different countries who need to work together to save a Chinese diplomat's daughter after she was kidnapped. It is one of my favorite movies and it features Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan as the lead actors. I found this image quite funny because it reminded me of somebody I knew. I have seen James Fridman''s work before and he is an e...
