Illustrator Final Cartoon

 So... it was bad. This is what I came up with. 




Like what is that even. And the worst part is I really like the idea, I just couldn't figure out how to make it actually good. Like it's all just basic shapes. So that's that on that. I think if anyone else took this idea it'd probably be really good, I just can't draw or do anything artistic apparently. How lovely. 

It seriously took me forever to even figure out how to make a new gradient on the project, and it wouldn't even export with the background color I wanted for it. Even though I was connecting images, nothing just looked right, and then I eventually had to let it go because it was not happening.

Photo Collage

Image
 This week our assignment was to create our own kind of safe space in Photoshop (with our own pictures) and play with the hues and color balances as well. This is what I did:  I freaking love this. Like my previous entry, I'm in a bit of a Barbie mood, so I knew whatever I did, I wanted it to end up bright pink. I took a landscape photo from a few years ago at the Morikami Gardens in Boca Raton, and then added some elements that mean a lot to me. In the back, I added some mountains from a picture I took in Red Rock Park, when I took my first solo flight to visit my friend in Las Vegas. The tiny Rockefeller statue in the corner is from this past summer, when my family and I took a trip to visit my dad's side of the family in New York (the original picture is me and my dad taking a selfie with the statue in the back). I also added the planet in the corner, mostly because the colors were already pretty sick, and also because my sister and I have always been interested in astronom...

As We May Think

  Vannevar Bush's article, "As We May Think", details the history of technology up to that point, and how he thinks technology will advance in the future. The article is broken into eight sections, in which each of them described a different piece of technology and how it will evolve, especially through the lens of record taking (pictures, writings, etc.). For example, in the second section, he explains how photography is progressing at the time into what we know today. He explains that the process of photography is changing, that the hardware of the camera itself will change from a cord with a button to just the button on the camera itself -- basically describing today's cameras. He also predicts how images will be developed in the future, how the traditional wet developing of film will eventually convert into dry photography or the image being available immediately, and also how that will affect video media, like television and movies.  In the third section, he goe...

Wagner to VR Reading #2

 One thing that stuck out to me from Nelson's chapter of the reading, especially considering how we use computers today, is his mention of branching. He states that branching is all the different functions and options a specific machine (computer) or program can provide within a specific subject, using text and music as examples. I think this has assisted in how I do my work digitally through programs like Google and Adobe, where they each have different functions that are all still related within the program. For example, concerning text, Google has Docs, Slides, Forms, and Sheets to keep people text related documents together. For images and videos, Adobe has all the different programs within their suite, like Premiere Rush, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom, so people can edit, create, and modify pictures and videos under one app.  In Goldberg and Kay's piece, I was very surprised at how well they predicted the systems of today, starting with their vision for the Dynabo...
