Internet v WWW

Internet v. World Wide Web 

 

The internet was created by a large group of scientist in the early 1960s. J.C.R Licklider is credited with the idea of an “Intergalactic Network” of computers. This network was soon then catapulted into the internet we all know today. There was a lot of other scientists that made advancements in between Likelider and now, but he was one of the very firsts to come up with idea of communication between computers. Originally it was used for basic transferring of information, the internet does that now too, but it now is the infrastructure that holds up the World Wide Web. 

            The World Wide Web is the collection of global information that is accessed through the internet. Tim Berners- Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. In an effort to make sharing information from computer to computer more user friendly, he invented www. In the beginning it was used just to just that, but it quickly began to take off. Berners- Lee had created something that was completely free and anyone who had access to a computer could use. By giving up his control over the web, he is quoted to have said that is why it really grew so exponentially. 

            The internet and WWW are different, but they work together. I think of the internet as a grocery store, and the WWW as the groceries. The internet is the catalyst for the World Wide Web. They work side by side. The first website was created by Tim Berners- Lee, it is still up and the url is: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

autoscopy

 this is my autoscopy. I wanted to go for a futuristic, trippy look for this project. I really enjoy how it turned out. To start I went on Pinterest to find inspiration, this is how I start a lot of my projects. I quickly realized that I wanted to include the moon and do something crazy with the sky.  When I found my inspiration photos I got to work by taking this photo of me on davis island and putting it in to photoshop. I then created layers to add in each icon like the butterflies, moon, planet, and smiley faces. Each icon got its on layer and I took away the background in the original photo of the icon. I then worked on the car background, I had to move the layers around and take away from the original photo to line it up correctly with the water.  The last thing I did was play with the saturation and hues of all the layers. I am so glad I did this because it really brought the whole thing together. There are a lot of meaningful things in this piece. I have always ha...

color logos

these are my first color logos, I wanted to go for a monochromatic look overall, and I think I achieved my vision. The colors I chose all go together and are relatively similar to my natural hair color. I have always wanted to have pink hair so that's why I chose pink for the top design. I really like how it came out, and I think it could be used for a lot of different logos.  These logos are my favorite things I have ever made digitally. My curly hair is my favorite thing about myself so I loved showing that through my art. First I took down a lot of sketches on paper and then started to filter out the ones I didn't like and the last one I chose was very similar to this. I used my iPad again with the illustrator app to create these pieces. By using the pen I got a lot of control with all the curves and tiny details. I love using the apple pencil in my work. When creating these I made a bunch of layers and keep taking them away to see which ones worked the best. I love using la...

pop art photoshop

This photo of myself has always been one of my favorites and my family's favorite. I was very excited to use it. First I changed the photo from the original color to black and white by using the greyscale feature in photoshop. Then I got to work picking my colors that I wanted to use on adobe. This is always my favorite part. I love picking the colors because that is when the vision really comes to life in my head. Then I started to outline the large pieces like my hair sunglasses and scarf. I wanted to go for a pop art look so I played around with using the brush tool to outline the colors. I never really used opacity on photoshop before, so I also played around with that.  these are my black and white to color photos. This picture is of me as a baby and I have always loved it. I went for a pop art style and I really love how they turned out. I had a lot of fun playing with this much color, I love how sassy this photo is to begin with, and I feel like the colors give it even more ...
