Hour of Code

In yesterday's Contemporary Media class, we started the Hour of Code, and what the Hour of Code is, it is a non-profit organization and a website that aims to encourage people, particularly school students in the United States, to learn computer science.






This exciting event was awesome to take part in, the Hour of Code helped me learn a lot more about how designing a game to do certain commands is really cool. I took more part in the flappy bird game rather than the others. There is a whole bunch of coding you could make the character do in your game.

Adobe Illustrator

We're now In our 3rd quarter Contemporary Media and we will be learning about a new Adobe program called Illustrator, Illustrator is a Vector graphics Image editor.

Adobe Illustrator s a program used by both artists and graphic designers to create vector images. These images will then be used for company logos, promotional uses or even personal work, both In print and digital form. So what is Adobe Illustrator used for? It Is typically used to create illustrations, charts, graphs, logos, diagrams, cartoons of real photographs, and more.

One of the tools I learned about is Rulers, I will explain to you what this tool Is used for, and why It Is very Important for you to use once you are editing Images.

The rulers and guides in Illustrator make our work more precise. You can move your document in any way, CS5 moved the 00 point to be in the upper-left hand corner. The art board maintains its only ruler system. The reference point proxy allows you to specify which part of the object is identified. 99% of the time you would want rulers to be on while designing in illustrator. Artwork will snap to guides.
I'm very excited to start this project, I love learning new things and A program such as this Is something I'm very Interested in.
