My name is John O'Neill, I am from the suburbs of Chicago. I am majoring in Advertising and Public Relations. I currently live with one roommate and my childhood dog, here in Tampa. My first feelings of the class are that it will be an interesting class and a new way to learn how to edit photos and gain more access into graphic design. I am excited to get the chance to learn more about different technologies and softwares.

It seems like a simple tool to use, but at first I believe it'll be a challenge. I know you can use the pen tool by using paths, that create to control points. If you don't close all the shapes, then it'll just be a big open group of lines.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJWPdicD1pI The second video I watched was about the paint brush and how to use it. When we used the color match in illustrator, I felt confident about that.

final Portfolio

Image
  For my final portfolio I decided to use my favorite picture of myself on the cover, but the rest I decided to use the same color scheme as the company I work for. I decided to use white, green and navy blue. Overall, I think the design was simple which was my goal. I didn't want an intricate design that would take the eyes away from the actual individual project, but rather center it on art I created. It's weird to think I wrote my first blogger post way back in August and now I'm finishing it in December. I will thankfully take a lot of this material and knowledge with me into my future with my advertising degree.

INDesign tools

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eqhUFRlvgI One tool in Adobe InDesign is the "Paragraph Styles" feature. This tool allows you to define and apply consistent formatting to paragraphs throughout your document, ensuring a cohesive and professional appearance. To use this tool effectively, you start by creating a Paragraph Style with specific font attributes, paragraph spacing, and other formatting elements. Once defined, you can apply this style to any paragraph in your document with a simple click, providing a quick and efficient way to maintain consistency in your design. If you later decide to change the formatting, you can update the Paragraph Style, and all instances throughout the document will automatically adjust. This tool is particularly useful for large documents, such as books or magazines, where maintaining a consistent layout is essential for a polished and professional look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_fu1wcT0Y Another indispensable tool in Adobe InDesign...
