My name is Brianna Scott and I am currently enrolled in a 21st century program at my high school called e-communications. In this class I am leaning new skills in graphic design.

My teacher had us install Adobe Illustrator onto our computers. She showed us how to make a new file and how to use the typing tool. Which needed to put our names on the paper. The next tool she showed us was called the rectangle tool. This automatically made a rectangle once you clicked on the paper, Then you can make the rectangle larger are smaller. The assignment that she assigned us was: to make a circle, star, rectangle, square, and polygon, using the rectangle tool. After we made the shapes, my teacher showed us how to add color to each of the shapes. First I had to click on the shape that needed color. Then I clicked the color I wanted for my shape from the color guide. My shape had color now. I colored all of my other shapes different colors and agusted their sizes.

On this day, I learned how to use the shaper tool. This tool I personally think is more easier to use than the rectangle tool. The shaper too allows me to draw the shapes like a circle, After making the shape I want I can lengthen or shorten the shape like the rectangle tool. unlike the rectangle tool the shaper tool allows me to put another shape on top of a shape and erasing the lines that I don't need. On this assignment I first had to make a big circle. Then I clicked on the circle and made it in to a "pack-man" like shape. Next, I made a medium/ small size circle. I then moved that circle to line up with the middle of the circle to the middle of the "pack-man" mouth. After, I lined up the circle I erased the lines inside the "pack-man" shape. I colored the shape red. Next I made a small circle, then moved that circle onto the corner of the second circle. I erased that circle which created a dent into the other circle. I made one more very small circle and colored it yellow. I placed the yellow circle on the edge of the cut of the circle. Finally I made a rectangle then colored it blue. I then made it the size of the page. I right clicked on the rectangle and put it behind my circles.

I finished my assignment from the other day, then started my third assignment for this week. My teacher told us that our last assignment for the week was to use the new tools we learned, to make our own graphic designs. I made a face in moon with stars around the moon. I made this because I love looking at the moon and stares at night. When ever I look at a full moon, I always see a face which makes me think of the story about the man in the moon. This gave me the inspiration for this graphic design project.I made a face using an four small ovules (for the ears and eyes). One large size ovule was used for the head. I also made four more circles, two used for the color of the eyes.The other two were used for the pupils of the eyes. I used I made one large circle and colored it white to gray to black shade. I put the moon over the face and then clicked on the face so that it showed up in the moon. Finally, I used the rectangle tools to make multiple stars. I made the stars yellow and placed them around the moon.
