    The video I watched was about how to create and change shapes in illustrator. The tools I think that will be easy to use is the rectangle tool and draw a rectangle on the doc. The direct selection tool I can adjust the curves. The selection tool I will be able to resize any of the shapes I created. With the ellipse or circle tool I can select from the toolbar and drag a circle on my art-board using the shift key I can draw a proportional circle. For complex shapes I can use the polygon and star tools. The tools that I think are hard is  using pathfinder I have many options to merging shapes together, pulling shapes apart and separating items. Also using the unite option that will merge all of those shapes together into one object.

    The video I watched was about how to work with lines and path in adobe illustrator. The tools that I think will be easy to use are the line tool I would click the tool in the toolbar by making a line I would hold the shift key making a straight line. If I need to resize the line I can use the selection tool by grabbing one of the points of the line. To change the color and thickness I can use the stroke controls. Also changing the point and using the stroke fill color. With the path or pen tool I can create multiple points by holding the mouse down when I create that point, I will be able to curve the line that is draws. To curve a line I would hold down the mouse and drag that point.

    The video I watched was about how to convert handwriting to vector art in illustrator. The tools that I think will be easy are importing the photo with the writing of the word or words I want. I would use image> adjustments> levels to adjust its level and contrast than I would save the image as a PNG or JPG file. Next I would open my image and select it using the selection tool. I can go the window and select image trace that will open the trace panel where I can control how illustrator will vectorize my image. I can use sketched art and set the view to tracing result so I can what its going to convert. Using preview and ignore white check boxes are checked so I will be able to see a realtime preview and having ti ignore the background of my image. Once I have it to my liking I can click on toolbar and hit expand having my writing be converted to a vector. Using the direct selection or the white arrow tool I can modify any of its points and curves to clean up writing or make any other adjustments.

 Dear future me, 20 years from now I hope to have gradated from the University of Tampa. Along with having a job somewhere in the psychology field and doing something that I actually enjoy doing. I don't where we will be living in the future but I will assume it will be somewhere good. As I am writing this I am 19 currently 20 years from now I will be 39 hopefully I will have kids and a husband and maybe a dog or 2. During those 20 years I hope I traveled to new places that I haven't been before. I can't wait to have a new car in a few years along with the life changes that I will face. I know people who I am friends with now will still be my friends 20 years later. Seeing the life changes I have faced only at 19 I'm excited for the up coming years to see where I will be in my life. I know with new experiences that I will face will help me grow and learn more to shape me to the person I will be in 20 years. Not knowing my future plans as of right now gives me hope and o

     The internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic devices. It makes it possible to access almost any information, communicate with anyone else in the world, and do much more. How the internet was created was the work of dozens of pioneering scientists, programmers and engineers who each developed new features and technologies that eventually merged to become the "information superhighway" we know today. The internet would not arrive until the early 1960s, when MIT's J.C.R. Likelier popularized the idea of an "Intergalactic Network" of computers. Later on computer scientists developed the concept of "packet switchings," a method for effectively transmitting electronic data that would later become one of the major building blocks of the internet. The internet today, search engines make this information easier to find. All you do is type one more keywords, and the search engine will look for relevant websites.     The wor
