In this video it highlights the basics of Adobe illustrator. It starts by covering the basics and the commands that you might use. It then informs the reader about the possible tools on the side bar that will help you create your art. Curvature tool seems fairly harmful to use because the curvature is similar to a pan tool therefore I feel like I might mix up the two of them. However this video did cover quick tips on how to use it such as clicking a point if you want it to be a straight line.

In this video it teaches the viewer how to use the guides and rulers in Adobe illustrator. This was something I wanted to learn how to do because I realized this will be super beneficial when creating my art. By using the rectangle tool, you can help skip having to use math because you can base your guide measurements off of the rectangle width. When finding where to place yours seems like it will be the most challenging thing for me since I am not very good at math. But by using the video's rectangle trick I feel more confident in my ability to make margins for my art work.

In this video, it covers the basics of using the pen tool. I have had some experience in illustrator but using the pen tool was something I was not very good at, therefore, I would stick to photoshop. In this video, I found you can change the stroke size which was new to me. The ability to hold down shift to create a 90 degree angle is another tip to creating a straight line. This video held 3 parts, the third one being the most used. Another helpful tip was you can click on the anchor point to break a curve into a straight line if needed.

Final Portfolio

Final Portfolio Artist statement  To end the semester, my FMX 210 class submitted a final portfolio. After putting this together I like the consistency my work has throughout all of my projects really stood out. My art maintained a minimalistic abstract style, which was my goal when creating it. I was also able to use symbolism in each of my pieces rather that be represented through a wave, the sun, colors, or style choice all of it had meaning when I was making my pieces. That is why when making my art, I wanted it to hold meaning to me so when I put my portfolio together, I could see the connection everything had to each other. One of my favorite parts of making my art work was picking the colors especially when we made our logos. I love the symbolism certain colors have and when making my art work colorful, keeping the a conscious effort to pick colors that emphasize the message I am trying to have my work send really allows me to appreciate what I make more.  In FMX 210, the class

  The Connection FMX 210- Digital Media Caroline Nordheim The internet and the World Wide Web are something humans have access to everyday and normally don’t question where it comes from or if there is even a difference. In reality there is a surprising difference between these two platforms and came around during two different time periods. However although different these websites work together since the World Wide Web was able to come into reality from the internet being created  The Internet was created by Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf in the 1950s. According to britannica.com , the internet is defined as “a system architecture that has revolutionized communications and methods of commerce by allowing various computer networks around the world to interconnect.” The internet came around during what is known as The Cold War, when tensions were high between North America and the Soviet Union. The desire for a communication system in order to be prepared for attacks became more and more appea

BW to Color

  Monochromatic   Split Complementary  complementary   My image   When creating my black and white to color assignment, I started by selecting different areas of the background that I wanted to color. I than proceed to do this with all parts of the image. After selecting the areas, I made a layer mask, which allows me to color the specic areas that I selected. I chose to make copies of each of these layers with the masks I made in order to allow myself to edit each of them based on the set of color rules I chose.  I choose to do monochromatic, split complementary and complementary color rules for my coloring. My favorite color is blue and begie thats why when I found that some of the color coordianted with each other I wanted to use those specific pairs. I did my best to pick the colors I also found the most asthetically appealing.
