Illustrator Tutorials  In this video I learned quite a bit. The video covered some of the basic tools that I will be using in class. I learned how to use text tool, anchor tool, and pen tool. I know that the text tool will be incredibly simple to use. All you do is create a text box and type what you want. I would use this when creating a title for my work. The anchor tool is very easy, all you do is drag your anchor points which change the shape of the line. I could use this to alter a shape I have created. You can make some pretty cool curves with this. Lastly, I learned the pen tool. It is a drawing tool, that is used to edit anchor points and create paths. I would use this when drawing a shape for my artwork. Overall, I thought the video was extremely helpful. I thought this video was very interesting because it taught me so much information over the span of 5 minutes. I would highly recommend any illustrator beginner to watch this video. In this video I learned how to create c...

     My work is about what I love to do in my free time, which is motocross. It  features a motocross helmet, a sun, and a ramp. I used My friends helmet as inspiration for my work. He even taught me how to ride a motorcycle. I used to go every day after school, so the piece genuinely means a lot to me. I did run into a few complications. I could not get my ramp to become a solid fill, and I also had to recreate my entire piece because my original sketch proved too challenging. Original design     The many lines that created the image of the head were very hard to draw, especially because I am not very skilled at art. No worries though! I created an entirely new piece, which took me around 15 hours. HTML was very hard to grasp at first, but with enough practice it became less challenging. I also managed to fill in the ramp. The Final Product     My overall Vision was very simple. It was to recreate what I loved doing the most when I was ...

I learned how to resize a heart using HTML. At first it was very difficult because I did not know how to properly edit the code. I began to resize the image by making the numbers smaller. It compressed the image to the correct size. I then changed the fill colors on both the inside of the heart, and the outer line. I also changed the width of the line from 25 to 30. After completing this exercise I feel that I can now manipulate HTML code a lot better. The exercise also taught me fundamental skills which I will most definitely apply to the project which we are about to complete for a hefty part of our grade.  

     The best way to describe the internet is as a massive network of interconnected computers that uses the TCP/IP to communicate with each-other. There are two people who are credited with creating the internet. They are Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf. Vint Cerf has said that the federal government had a huge part in the creation of the internet as well. The internet was created in the 1960's as a prototype called ARPANET. Above are the founders of the internet Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf        The internet became publicly available on August 6, 1991. The internet was originally created for military use. They used it to send encrypted messages to others. The internet gradually made its way into the science realm, where scientists would use it as a way of communication. Today the internet is used for many purposes. People use it for almost everything, from car sales to blogging. With the internet growing everyday there is almost nothing you cannot fin...
