The Internet and World Wide Web

    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 find on it.

    The World Wide Web is an information system that stores documents and other web sources, which are identified by uniform resource locators. The creators name is Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who is a well known British computer scientist. The World Wide Web was created in October 1990, when he created the three fundamental technologies that ran it. They are: HTML, URI, and HTTP. When it became 1991 he invited others to join his Web platform to create content. This was so not only people inside of Cern were creating web pages. It was originally used as a web page editor and browser called the, WorldWideWeb.app. Today  it is used as free platform where anyone can post. People can upload any content they want in order to target their specific audiences.





   


The founder of the World Wide Web,  Sir Tim Berners-Lee

     The internet and world wide web are completely different systems. The internet is a vast network of interconnected computers. The world wide web is the collection of all the webpages found on a certain network of computers. While they are very closely connected, they are not the same. They do although work together. You need the internet to get to the world wide web. You can think of the internet as the core of the world wide web, and the world wide web is what you can actually see such as the webpages you visit.

   The first website ever published was on August 6, 1991. It was created by the inventor of the world wide web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. The first Website created provides plentiful information about the world wide web. The website is still up today and you can find it at, http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.

Somewhere

Image
 For this project I decided to put myself somewhere I have never been. I chose to place myself next to Sommer Ray. I decided to place myself in this image because Sommer Rae is my favorite instagram model. I ended up using a photo from her new work out line. I wanted to use this specific photo for my art because it had a space where I could place myself without distorting the rest of the image. The colors in the image also pop out and grab the audiences attention. My original photo of myself was this. This is where I encountered my first problem. The lighting in my photo was completely different than the photo I was editing myself into. I created a new adjustment layer and played around with the contrast and lighting until I made it look the same. This is my final Image. I decided to match the setting by dressing in a gym outfit. I had to increase the art-board size a few inches taller in order to fit my self into the image. I used the cloning tool to fill in the rest of the background

Autoscopy

Image
      For my Autoscopy I chose to use this photo of my self. I knew I wanted to create an autoscopy with an outer space vibe, so I chose a photo of me at night. This photo is relatively old and is from my first college I attended.      The project took me around 3 hours to make. I struggled mostly with the adjustment layers. It took me a while to figure out how to select which layer I wanted to adjust by its  self. The first photo I added to my art was a planet.      I chose this photo because I really liked the colors of the planet, and I thought it would match nicely with the skyline. I used some other images as well to create my final  autoscopy. My personal favorite was the bear. The bear is symbolic for being brave. I edited the color of the bear to blue, so it would fit better in my autoscopy.     I added a tattoo to my arm as well. I have always wanted a tattoo on my arm, but my mother would kill me if that ever happened. The rose is symbolic as well. It stands for love. I belie

PS H2 Inspirational Photos

Image
I would like to recreate this illusion. I think it's a very cool concept. I like how real the image looks, even though it is made with toy cars. I have a camera so this would be easy for me to recreate. This photo set made me laugh. First of all the girl looks hilarious with her eyes open. I think its funny, how the editor put a hand over the girls face to fix what was going on. it would be slightly difficult to put the hand over the face. I think this image is very comical. The photoshopping does not look very hard to do either. I like how his phone is getting thrown out of his hand into the water. I feel like he should have added a higher quality image of himself to match the other Man in the photo. I think this Image would be very hard to photoshop myself into. It would be hard to replicate the pulling of the skin on the face. The shadows in the back would also be very hard to recreate.
