Review week 9
Compare and contrast vector graphics and pixel images.
vector graphics are more of any shape coming together to crete and image and pixel images are hundreds or even thosands perfect squares than all are a different color to create an image but they all go together to make an image.
What resolution is necessary to print raster images?
300
What resolution is necessary to display raster images on the internet?
72

Review week 8
Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
because if they don't it could make or break their design. Color can exaggerate or tone down something and it is very important to utilize.
Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
Because they can use to to determine a color scheme for their design, if they just choose random color not knowing where they are on the color wheel it could turn out very badly.
Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.
I think that the designer used nuetral colors because he felt it would make the words stand out.
Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?
we see a white light and whatever color the object is its reflected back into our eye.

What seven colors result when white light is refracted through a prism?
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet
Describe hue?

What is a color wheel?
Visual tool that shows relationship with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors
What are primary colors? Name them?
Red, yellow, blue,when mixed it creates a secondary color.
What are secondary colors? Name them?
Orange, green, violet, when primary and secondary is mexed tertiary is mexed
What are tertiary colors? Name them?
Red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet
What are neutral colors? How can they be created?
Don’t show on the color wheel, very low saturation, blacks greys whites and browns
How can a neutral color help a design?
Help put focus on other colors or help tone down colors
What are complementary colors? Name them?
Positioned oppisite of eachother on the color wheel, red and green, orange and blue, yellow and violet
What is color value?
Lightness or darkness of a hue
What is a shade?
Adding black, low value color
What is a tint?
Adding white, high value
What is saturation/intensity?
Brightness of a color
What happens when you mix complementary colors together?

Describe color harmony?
A pleasing arrangment of colors, engages the veiwer
What is a color scheme?
Color combinations, used to create style and appeal, always harmonius

Journal Post
What is the pen tool used for?
The pen tool is used for tracing things and making organic designs.
How can you manipulate a path/line in Illustrator? Discuss the use of the white arrow tool, pen+, pen-, and convert too.
You click on the white arrow tool and click on an anchor and grab the handles. The pen+ tool is used to make anchors in any lines already made by the pen, the pen- tool is sued to take out any anchors you don't want anymore.
How can you utilize the layers palette in Illustrator?
You can add new layers to start something tottally different and while you do that you can lock other layers so nothing gets messed up while working on another layer.
How do you create a clipping mask in Adobe Illustrator?

Review Week 5
Shape: I think that this picture shows shape very well. shape is very important in a design because it can show many different things or images in one picture. this picture has alot of shapes put together to make one picture. Shapes can help make your design more interesting.
Line: I think that this picture shows the element of line very well. This picture usues mostly line and it is still very interesting. This element can really add some depth to your design. Usuing line in a picture can make something look more interesting because you could be usuing curved lines, straight lines, and there is so many ways to make it look very interesting.
Texture: texture is something that makes your audiance want to touch your design. i chose this picture because the angle of it shows the texture very well. if you have good texture in your design then it looks like if you tpuch it then you coud feel the roughness, softness, etc. texture adds a lot of depth to your design and really pulls people in.
Space: space is something where if you feel like you have too much going on it can help make it look not so crowded. if you have an advertisement it can help lead your eye around the paper. but if there is no space your eye is usually fixated on one object and that is not good for advertising. This picture shows good space because of its simplicity.
Value: value is the lightness or darkness of a color. so it is often used when u see black and white pictures. this picture shows a lot of value because it has the color black and in between all the way until white. value can make something darker or lighter depending on which one.
