Using Tools in Illustrator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY   The video by Flow Studio moved a bit fast, but it was very straight to the point. I liked how he would mostly explain how to activate the tools with a keyboard shortcut key, like using “T” for text. I will definitely be using the shortcuts, that’s going to make it much easier. I think I will mostly struggle with the curvature tool, it looks hard to use and a bit complicated. Also this guy apparently has a game on Kickstarter which he advertised a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzilL2zvldo   Bevcause the curvature tool seemed challenging, I watched thie video to help. The guy recommending to draw the outline is good advice, I will definitely be doing that. I like how you can choose whatever point you want along the lines drawn, but the whole idea of vectors and drawing these lines still feels complicated, its something I’m going to have to work on. I do appreciate that the guy draws out a Batman symbol.  https://www...

     The internet is a word so synonymous with the culture of today that some people probably think of it as a concept. Those people are actually completely right. It’s a system, a word for the network of networks existing on computers, phones, and much more. The main idea behind the internet is a way to connect people who are not currently next to each other. More than half the population of the world use the internet for many different reasons, and it’s basically a necessary facet to living in the modern age unless you are still growing your own food. We can call what is sent to others on the internet “information”, whether that be the weather for tomorrow or a love confession.      The first idea of the internet being able to share resources and information through machines was first realized by ARPANET, a United States defense program. They established the first host-to-host network connection in 1969. These early networks quickly became an important fr...

David Z Intro

Hello world! My name is David Z, and this is my blog. I am a student at the University of Tampa, currently studying under the film major. I love movies, and just recently watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a beautiful romantic drama starring Jim Carrey. I also love music and have recently gotten into the band Della Zyr, as beautiful shoegaze and post-rock unit that just started in 2022. I would highly recommend them! My dream is one to one day make movies in the genre of romance and drama, as well as direct my own animated movie. I have several hundred pages of idea already written out. I am currently working on my first animated short film with an animator I hired over the internet, and am also writing out the plot for a romantic comedy I plan to direct and star in. I created this post for my Digital Media class, taught by Ms. Roundtree. I am excited for the class going on. I think the information is going to be interesting, and after one class I already know how to make a...
