3rd Quarter - Illustration

We finally reached the third quarter in our temporary media class and are now learning how to use a program named Adobe Illustrator.

Adobe Illustrator is a vector based design tool where you can design different logos or make digital illustrations. The designs made in this program can be sold to companies or corporations for a lot of money.

Some of the tools that are available in this program are the same as the ones in Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop. These programs give you a variety of tools that allow you to be very creative in your designs. There is a tool called the blob brush tool which allows you to paint on the page with your mouse. When you click command+Y the lines of your painting show up when you don't want to see the color. When you click command+D you can draw behind the lines you already made. This helps when you need to fill in an image with another color.

I am excited to use this program because i like to illustrate things in my spare time and now I can do this on the computer. I can't wait to see how my designs come out.

Animated Text

These past few days in my contemporary media class, our class suggested some academic words and we were given the option to chose one of those words to animate in Adobe Flash. 

I chose the word knowledge and used the Matura MT Script Capitals font because it looks similar to how noble people would write in the old days. I animated it the way I did because everyone experiences knowledge differently.
