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...

I chose to use the show Shameless because it is one of my all time favorite shows and is honeslty just an easy show to shoot pictures for, especially with the cast photos. the process itself wasn't too difficult, but I still had a little trouble with the cutting of the background. 

  I think this photo would be very difficult to photoshop myself into it due to the phone, the mirror and the finger. all of those objects would be very difficult to navigate around.  This picture is helping me to chose the one from the scene I would like. Ideally, I'm going to use the main image from the show shameless.  I think this picture is funny because he asked to not be so alone, but instead they just added someone to the TV.  I would like to create this photo, I think it would be really simply and 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=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.
