SO....

So I started the first illustrator tutorial and when I got to step 4 it asked me to do something with gradient I worked on that and tried to do it. But for some reason it wouldn't let me do what the tutorial said I would be able to. So I attempted the first tutorial and was not successful.

I then tried Tutorial #2 and I got THIS. I did not add all the graphics like the tutorial suggested doing. While I'm sure it would have made the outcome just wonderful I thought, since this will be one of the only days we work on illustrator I'm just going to try and have a basic idea of how to do these things rather then work my butt off to make one look perfect and then have no idea how to do any of the other ones. So I have a very nice not connected pie chart and attempts at other things rather then just a pie chart with a hand and eyes balls sticking out of it.

The Last thing I was able to do today was tutorial three. I was able to create the vase part with no problem but I couldn't find the ellipse tool. So I decided I would use another symbol but whenever I selected another symbol it would delete the vase I created. I'm not sure why it did any of that. For now though I have a flawless VASE!!

Pixel v. Vector

Pixel, short for Picture Element, is a single point in a graphic image. Graphics monitors display pictures by dividing the display screen into thousands of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are so close together they appear connected.

Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves and shapes to represent images in computer graphics.

Along with me as food I finished these and feel they all look pretty nice and everything. I wasn't able to use all the food I ate because I couldn't find pictures of some and others the pictures I could find were abstract ones or had weird angles and things like that, that would make them weird to put in the picture.




- Until After Turkey Day!!

Food- ME

Thats me as beans, marshmallows, pasta, grapes, coffee and a S'more. I enjoyed this and worked on this all period today. Finished it with 9 minutes left in class.

Cartoon of Me!

Here finally is the cartoon of me, I think it looks quite distorted! I was able to create it in a small amount of time thanks to the step by step instructions  and me doing the other cartoon of the flower and it made the cartoon making go by so faster! Done and Done! I am finally caught up!

Today is Thursday which means I wont be back to class until monday which means it is the weekend! Happy weekend!

-Until Next Week!

Food

Today I worked on making several graphs and tables of what I have eaten the past few days. I completely finished all the graphs for Tuesday of this week and I finished the main table for both Wednesday and today the only thing I was unable to finish was what I am going to have for dinner tonight other then that the main table for today(Thursday) is finished. After looking at the list of things we are suppose to have done, I realized that I am missing one piece, the cartoon of myself. I will try to come in and work on it in order to get it finished. But other then that I have everything finished and I feel that my work as a whole is good. My favorite is still my typographic flower! 

- Until Next Time!

Worded flower!

And this is the completed flower/typography, I really like this. This was one of my favorite things we have done in this class so far.




-Until The Next Photo!

Chinese Bloggers

I think you cant control the companies from paying people to create good publicity for them. I personally think its a good idea, with the amount of time people spend on the internet looking up products and consumer reviews, it seems that this was inevitable, companies finding a way to alter the reviews or at least alter the ratio of good to bad reviews. I don't think it is okay or not okay for the companies to act like this, my thinking of it is it's gonna happen either way, their just playing their role in a game. Nothing on the internet should be taken as fact or complete truth unless you have personally researched the topic using a book or something other then the internet and have read the same information. I don't think it affects the integrity of the internet, the internet has always been a place where people can express what they feel, think, or know. They could feel very strongly that pluto is a planet but according to scientific research it isn't. Nothing on the internet, I feel, affects the internets integrity. Whatever you read on the internet you have to take at face value don't read into it much or base your own opinions on it unless you have found the same information on in something other then the internet. This is unfortunate that companies feel the need to do this, but it is also unfortunately that what someone says on their blog can alter someones opinion so much they wouldn't buy it. It doesn't affect the blogging worlds integrity or honesty just the person that is writing it. The blogging world cant control what people write or say they just allow the people a place to write about how they feel or their interests. It's like you can't be mad at a company who sold someone a gun, following all the rules, and he then turned around and killed people with it. The company was just doing what they've always done, selling guns, and then this one person turns around and uses it for something bad thats not the companies fault.

Next Photo!

This is something else I got done today. So I only have just a little left. I will try my hardest to catch up next time!
It is the weekend




-Until Next Week!

Photoshop

 Through the set by set instructions I was able to edit  this photo and turn it into this next photo.

Cartoon Me

So I went today to start working on the cartoon of myself for an assignment I missed last week. I followed everything the instructions told me to do, but when I got to drawing on the second layer it started to act funny. It allowed me to draw/ outline whatever I wanted but when I would click to start outlining the next thing it would erase my last outline. Along with that once I finished an outline it would fill it white. I'm not quite sure how to fix any of this so I'm going to wait until Mr. Double U is back next week and then complete the assignment. Cant waist much more time I'm behind from being sick and need to catch up!


-Until the Next Photo!

Post Second Six Weeks

I feel that I have been good about getting my assignments done correctly and on time. I work diligently during class and am very good about getting my work done on the dates they are due. Because I work like I do during class this allows me to be finished and continue on to the next thing sooner then others that might not be as focused as me. I am also able to ask questions and be able to give that time for further explanation so that I can fully understand what we are working on at that point. In the past six weeks I have learned how to use iPhoto and Photoshop, I have certainly not mastered everything, but I have given it all my best effort.


- Until The Next Assignment!

Sad News

I was unable to work on the cartoon of myself today. I spent like five minutes trying to find PhotoBooth, only to figure out that this computer does not have PhotoBooth on it. So next time I will move to another computer and work on it there. Even though to day is Thursday I will not be coming here until monday which means the weekend is close, enough to celebrate about! 

Photoshop is easier when there are step by step instructions!

-Until Monday!

Cartoon!

Today I worked on basically making a cartoon of a picture. By adding layers to a picture I was able to create this cartoon looking picture. My next task is to turn a picture of myself into a cartoon picture, similar to this. I don't know if I'm going to have time to finish it during this class period but if not I will finish it next time.

Photoshop

So... I don't like Photoshop, I guess it's just not my thing because other people seem to be liking it a lot. I enjoy iPhoto a lot more, it's easier to use not as much little things to mess with. I mean I guess thats why some people like it because you can do different things with it and have the option of changing every little thing about the picture. My thinking is, don't take a picture that your going to have to change everything about... But oh well I guess I'll learn to put up with it for awhile!

More CMYB

It wouldn't be acceptable to me, if I ask for a specific picture I would like the specific picture. But if I had to choose one that I would be okay with I think I would pick the running low on yellow print out. It is obviously not the original picture but with this one it looks the closest to the original to be acceptable.

COLOR PRINTING TAB

7- As the yellow ink cartridge no longer has enough ink to work as designed, what

happens to the other colors?

They stand out more during the mixing process. Instead of having a red you just have a bright Magenta or a really Blue green

8- As the cyan ink cartridge no longer has enough ink to work as designed, what happens

to the other colors?

They stand out more during the ink mixing process. Before yellow and cyan made a deep green but now it makes a light lime green and magenta and cyan use to make a real deep blue but now it makes almost a purple.
