Tutorial 1

    This video provided a brief overview of the available basic tools in Photoshop. The video started by introducing the "lasso" tool which I believe will be very helpful in removing unwanted objects from a piece. Additionally, I felt as if the functions of this tool were fairly simple, in similarity to the next tool introduced, the "patch" tool. This tool allows you to replace one part of an image with another. Furthermore, the video creator expresses that these tool are ideal for any type of photography, from landscapes to product shots.

Tutorial 2

    This tutorial was a VoiceOver video that covered the basic tools of Adobe Photoshop. The content creator starts off with a brief introduction of photoshop, giving the viewer a tour of the application, including where the tool bar is located and how to navigate it. From there, the narrator moved on to how to use the functions of the menu bar, palates, and image window. I believe it is important to be acquainted with the app and where certain tools are located in order to be successful in creating your pieces. Furthermore, the creator explains both the "move" and "marquee" tool which once again seem simple to use and helpful for navigation with in the app and while creating your artwork.

Tutorial 3

    In congruence with the previous tutorial, this video was a part 2 extension of the basic tools one needs to have knowledge of in order to operate Adobe Photoshop. To pick back up from the previous video, the narrator proceeded to explain the "healing brush" tool, which allows you to paint over objects you want to disappear and also enables the user to recreate a section of their image. I think this tool will be very useful in removing unwanted aspects in the background of an image I will be working with, and seems fairly simple to access and use. I also believe the "red-eye" tool will be useful in removing the red eyes in subjects that can result from flash photos being taken in the dark. The narrator then shifts to explaining both the "pattern stamp" and "clone stamp" tools which allow users to paint both patterns/textures and clones of another area of the image onto their piece. Overall, when the tutorials are followed along with I found the explanation of their usage and the tools themselves fairly straightforward to implement and look forward to incorporating them into my upcoming pieces.

     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,...

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 ...
