Video 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eqhUFRlvgI

    In this video, the creator showed hidden tools that I probably wouldn't have noticed without anyone telling me they exist. Such as pages and layers. The creator of the video also showed how to import images and make them fit the way we want. I didn't know we could just drag and drop an image in the frame so easily. For example, if want to fit it half a page or in the center of the page. He basically explained how to move around the gutters and I think that is very interesting because it makes things easier to edit. He also showed in the start of the video how to adjust the size of the frame however you want.

    In this video, the creator goes in depth into the tools. The last video didn't really talk about the tools in the side bar so this video was really helpful. The pencil tool I feel it's kind of hard to use it because I don't think I'll be able to be precise with what I draw. The gradient feather tool seems easy and helpful to use because I can easily adjust the feathers on my gradient color. The theme tool makes it simple to drag and drop colors into my images or shapes.

        This video was really helpful and provided very good information that I will be using in my assignments with InDesign. The creator of the video went more in depth on how to import images and adjust them the way you want. I think the "Fit content proportionally" tool is interesting because only one click of a button you can make the image fit the frame exactly. He also explained how to use pages and how to organize it. I think I will struggle with that a little bit because Its hard for me to keep track of everything and make sure I dont mess it up.

  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

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
