Internet/ World Wide Web Blog post

     By definition, Internet is "a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.". Internet was founded by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1969. It was originally made and used for simple communication between computers, starting out with only the letters "LO". Currently, the Internet is one of the most important things about modern day society, with it being used for communication, education, calculation, or anything else that you can imagine.  

    Something much similar to Internet is the World Wide Web, which is by definition; "an information system on the Internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another.". The World Wide Web was invented by Sir Tim Burners-Lee in 1989. It was made because at the time there was different information on different computers and no way to share it, so he made the code to connect the information over the internet. It is still currently used for the same purpose with all of the different websites that are on the World Wide Web.

    These two things however, are not the same. The World Wide Web is dependent on the internet. Without the internet, there would be no such thing as a World Wide Web. They are similar in the sense that they both share information between computers, yet the World Wide Web is more of an add-on. These two things work together to spread information about everything all over the world. If we did not have these things, I believe that our quality of life would be no where as good as it is.

    The first website ever made was made by Sir Tim Burners-Lee in 1991. This website is still up and its URL was http://info.cern.ch.

Gunderson Autoscopy

Image
           For this project, we were to create an autoscopy in Adobe Photoshop, which meant we had to re create a picture of ourselves in a cool and different way using other images with different layering tools and techniques. I had 5 pictures that I used in this project, and they are below. The goal that I was going for with my autoscopy was to represent myself and my creative side. In the back ground is the Willis tower, which represents my home town of Chicago. Behind that is a record store shelf to represent my love for music. I decided to mask my sweatshirt in a stone pattern to represent my inner strength. I played with the hue and saturation on my flannel, then I added the swirly pattern over parts of the building and the records. Finally, I used the brush tool to draw onto my eyes in order to make things look cooler and more vibrant. Overall, this project took me about 5 hours total to complete and I had a lot of fun making it. I think that this is...

InDesign Tutorials

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka2dh5wU6Es https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVW8AF2TMnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHDy_nEvgd4     After watching these three tutorials, I learned a lot about the program and its tools. Some of my favorite tools that I understand and would like to use are the type tool, the frame tool, the shape tool, and the page tool. All of these tools make it possible to make layouts with different texts and images. I think that these tools will be some of the most common ones that I use in my work.      I think that the hardest indesign tools that I may have to use are the scissors tool and the convert direction point tool. I think that these tools will be difficult for me to use because it is hard for me to understand when I would use them. I think that the scissor tool may be useful, but I don't think that I will have to use it in my assignments because I won't need to cut anything out of my pages. I think that the convert direct...

Gunderson Black and White to Color

Image
          In this project, we were to use Adobe Photoshop to convert a picture of ourselves into black and white. After converting our photo black and white, we were asked to add different colors to the picture, following three of the different color rules and using different selection and coloring techniques. The three color rules I chose to follow were monochromatic, triad, and square. I really liked the color combinations with my base color when I was checking out all of the different color rules, so I decided to pick these three. Overall, I really had a lot of fun making this project and I feel like it helped me learn more about arranging layers as well as masking things in photoshop. This project took me about four hours to complete and I am happy with how it came out.
