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. The paint brush seems a little trickier than just having the color match the other one.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJnka575yq4  The next video I watched was about creating shapes with the shape tool. I think this will be fairly easy to use, especailly since I don't need to use the pen tool to create the shapes if I use this feature instead. I don...

  I find connections through driving my friends to the beach and watching the sunrise/sunset.  A man with a bandage on his face and an eye patch. It's clear he's been hurt in some way and is suffering. It appears he has been beaten which is a sad thought. I think my emotions realized the evil and hurtfulness in this world. No one should have to suffer or feel like that. 

  For this assignment I decided to use propoganda for the solar eclipse that recently happened. The original picture was taken with regular glasses rather than sunglasses but I thought for the solar eclipse that the sun glasses was a better look because it helped to capture the idea and thought process behind it. Tracing my facial features was relatively simple except for the ears. it felt like the ears have so many different little parts that getting each one was impossible. 

 For this project, I thought about what would really represent me. At first, I thought about those name tags people get that say "Hello, my name is..." so I kind of took that idea and ran with it, Hence, the reason for the boarders. Then I added some colors that I thought would help make it pop. Personally I like the blue and green as well as the purple and green color combinations the best. The red and yellow is very McDonalds looking.  Attached are some of my inspiration. 

 In my calligrame i decided to draw a plane with a sun because my goal in life is travel and see all different places of the world. In my note, i didn't touch much on travel but rather a reflection of where life has taken me in between now and then. I used the pen tool and the type to text tool.  Dear Future John, I hope this letter finds you well and that you are reading it with a sense of nostalgia and reflection. As I sit down to write this letter to you, I can't help but wonder what your life is like now, two decades from where I am today. First and foremost, I hope you are happy and content with the life you have built. I hope you have found love, joy, and fulfillment in your personal relationships, and that you have surrounded yourself with people who bring out the best in you. Cherish those connections, for they are the true treasures of life. I wonder what career path you have taken. Have you achieved your professional dreams, or have they evolved into something even m...

Based on my attempt to use it in the last few classes and after this video, I think it'll be fairly easy. 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=AMqc3sRQ_-M The next video I watched was about creating shapes with the shape tool. I think this will be fairly easy to use, especailly since I don't need to use the pen tool to create the shapes if I use this feature instead. I like that I can adjust them to my liking, making them bigger, smaller or even round. My fear with this feature is that I'll accidentally make the shapes and then mistakingly adjust the shape and not be able to fix it.  https://www.youtube.com/wa...

  Internet, WiFi and Bluetooth      The Internet, which came about in the 1970s but was no made public until the 1990s, is a system that has revolutionized mass communication, media and commerce, allowing computers around the world, to be on one common network. The main developer of the early internet was founded by Robert W Taylor. Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf invented the IP part of the internet. Today, the internet is a whole different thing than what it used it to be. We use it every single day for various reasons; banking, education, work, shopping, streaming, and so much more.           The World Wide Web (WWW) was invented in 1989 by British Scientist, Tim Berners- Lee. Originally it was developed and used to meet the demand of the automated information. The original plan was to merge the WWW with other technological platforms to create one easy center for all of it. Now, in 2023 it is used for sharing blogs, social ...
