Illustrator HW 1

Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY

               - In this video the narrator explained the basics of Illustrator tools. He touched on this                     most basic tools and explained how to use them. A very interesting tool that really                         stood out to me was the star tool. It was very simple to use because it can give you                     many different star shapes with a click of a button. Any it's also very easy to                                 manipulate the shape. A tough tool that I might struggle with a little is the pencil. I feel                   like I would struggle a little with using it to draw certain things. 

                          Video 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQWTSupSrko

               - This video actually explained every single tool is Illustrator. It was so interesting to                       learn about all of the tools. Some stood out to me and others I felt like I would                              struggle with. The curvature tool seemed simple because it automatically gives you a                  curve. The vertical type tool was interesting because it would help me draw a picture                    using words. 


                       Video 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vE-wDmw1wA

                - This video was more in depth about the tools and showed us actually examples and                    how to use the the tools exactly. For this reason I found this video interesting. The                        properties panel seemed a very important tool but I feel like I will struggle with the                        exact measurements if I wanna fix a shape. A tool that I am actually excited to used                      is Inside Appearance. I like how I can use it to add cool effects to picture so easily.

BW TO COLOR

Image
        This project helped me to learn more about photoshop. I enjoyed doing this project a lot because it was fun to play around with colors and mix and match. It was kind of challenging at first because I had a hard time figuring out how to mask and select places that I wanted to color. The reason I chose this picture is because it had a nice background that I could do a lot with and thought it was flattering. Also golf is one my favorite hobbies so the viewer can learn a little bit more about me. Each picture contained 5 different colors that I picked from Adobe color. The three types that I chose were Analogus, Double Split Complimentary, and Square.       I liked Analogus because my favourite colors are pink and purple so I liked how to had different shades of those two colors. Analogus was my simplest picture. I only focused on coloring myself in this picture because those colors were my favorite and I wanted my viewer to see that. The second one I did was double split complimen

Propaganda

           This project is probably the most meaningful one to me. The Israeli and Palestine conflict has had an effect on me. I have always been pro Palestine and I will always be. This project was a good opportunity for me to spread awareness about this problem. I feel like people from the United States never really understood the Palestinians side because the Media here doesn't show it enough. So I am really hoping that me posting this can spread at least the smallest type of awareness and open people's eye to this conflict. As someone from the middle east, I hear about it more often than people here.         Using Illustrator was tricky at first but I got the hang of it the more I used it. I had to have a layer for each body part and had to color it one by one. It was hard finding the right colors. The trickiest body part was probably the eyes because I had to do the eyelids, eyeballs, eyelashes, and eye shape. The reason I picked red and green to be the main theme because

  Dear Future Me,      Something I wanna tell to my future self. Please don’t procrastinate like my present self. By the time, I hope you are having a stable job that you enjoy in Egypt. I hope you haven’t changed your mind about living in Egypt. Sometimes I keep thinking of continuing living in the United States after college. But I hope you are in your country because I don’t think you’ll be happier anywhere else in the world. I really hope you're in a happy and healthy marriage. You always liked the wrong boys in the past. And hopefully you learned how you cook, because right now you can’t even cook pasta. Please stop dying your hair, I bleached 6 different times, so make sure you take care of it very well. Currently you're in college and studying Advertising and Public relations. What I always wanted to work in is marketing for a fashion company so I hope you’ve reached that goal already. Currently we’ve been to 5 countries and I’ve wanted to travel around Europe and Asia s
