Finally my blog is up and running! I have had some technical issues setting up my blog, even though its supposed to be a very simple process.
The main purpose of this blog is to talk about what I've taken from my lectures on Advanced Digital Interaction and Communication with Michael Garaway.
In my first lecture Michael gave us introduction to the software we will be using for the module; Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator, I am not very familiar with either of these and I'm also not familiar with the Apple Mac's we use! But I know I'm naturally quite good with computers so I'll pick it up. Both Photoshop and Illustrator are very similar in terms of the interface and the tools etc. But the main difference between the two is the way they create an image, Photoshop uses pixels on a bitmap, which are basically millions of tiny squares used to create an image. Whereas Illustrator uses vectors and uses anchor points to create mathematical expressions that make up an image.
I spent some time clicking around with them both, creating images and seeing what else I could manage. I familiarised myself with the tool bars, although there are A LOT of tools and effects it gets a bit daunting, but hopefully if I practice at it I'll be a pro by the end of the module!
