Introduction

    Upon the commencement of the spring 2024 semester I find myself both excited and filled with curiosity as a second semester sophomore enrolled in Digital Media. The opportunity that lies within exploring and navigating  the world of digital communications is vast and I believe this course will help me immensely towards my future career goals relating to this field. As an Advertising and Public Relations major, I am eager to learn more about the "Logo/Biz Cards" section of this course, along with practicing my technological skills that are essential to creating graphics and shaping media consumption. 

    Originating from Rhode Island, I believe I bring a positive attitude and eagerness to learn to all of the classes in which I attend within my Advertising and Public Relations major. Outside of pursuing my major, you may find me at the gym, cooking, at the beach, or hanging out with friends. As a nationally certified personal trainer and a bodybuilding competitor, I spend a fair amount of time within the gym, both pursuing my own fitness goals, along with helping others assimilate fitness into their own unique schedules and encouraging them to make healthy choices. I consider becoming a personal trainer as being one of my biggest successes, as it is something I am very passionate about and allows me to make an income helping others.

    Moreover, I've had my fair share of struggles, but each experience has helped shape who I am now. One of which is who I have chosen to surround myself with in the past and their influence on my life. Through experience in surrounding myself with people who do not have similar goals and aspirations or negative attitudes I have learned to be more perceptive about who I chose to spend my free time with. Being around goal-oriented and like-minded people, I am encouraged and look forward to honing my skills, collaborating with other students, and accepting the challenges that come with this interesting journey into the digital world.

     Upon preforming extensive web-based research, I have come to the conclusion that the internet can be defined as a global network of interconnected computer networks that allows for the exchange of information and enables communication. Th internet enables the sharing of data, resources, and services across geographical boundaries. Furthermore, it has become an integral part of modern life, impacting various aspects such as communication, education, business, entertainment, and more. The internet was founded on October 29, 1969, when computers at Stanford and UCLA connected for the first time, becoming the first hosts on what would eventually become the internet. Additionally, the original Arpanet network was established between Harvard, MIT, and BBN in 1970. The Internet was primarily used for military and academic purposes, such as communicating messages and research. Furthermore, as it has evolved, the internet has become more accessible to the general public, lead...

     After viewing the documentary based upon the art of Platon's photography, portraits in particular, I feel as if I have gained knowledge on the importance of emotion behind photography as well. Platon explains how his portraits and what is captured is dependent on both his and his subject mood and state of mind in that brief moment when the photo is captured. Platon is specifically known for his portraits of famous world leaders, often featured as the cover of Time Magazine. These portraits allow for the subjects to express the emotions surrounding power and therefore send a message to the Time Magazine's American viewers.     Once I had reached the end of this documentary episode by "Abstract: The Art of Design", I followed the next link in the assignment in order to view "The People's Portfolio". As I looked through the images presented in the different folders on this webpage, I felt emotion connected with each. One photo in particular, however,...

Id Homework 1

VIDEO 1 :    This video provided a brief overview of the basic functions of Adobe InDesign. The video starts by the narrator reassuring the viewer that if they are familiar with both Illustrator and PhotoShop, that this program's tools will be relatively familiar and easy to operate. Next, the creator explains both the "selection" and "direct selection" tools, which I feel will be easy to operate as they are very to similar to that of the selection tools in Adobe Illustrator. Additionally, he reviews both the "type" tool and "type on path" tool, which we became familiar with in Adobe illustrator while creating both the Calligram and Poster projects. Lastly, the narrator reviews the multidimensionality of the "pen" tool which we once again used quite a bit in Illustrator. Overall, I believe InDesign will be fairly simple to become proficient in, as I have already mastered many of the tools it shares in similarly to Adobe Illustrator ...
