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 had such a speci

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

brush

this assignment was very fun for me. I love taking past work and adding to it. I have never made a brush in photoshop before so that was very exciting as well. I love my logo to begin with and I love the graffiti look this project gave it. First we started by taking my logo and adding different layers to it and playing with the opacity. The most challenging part was keeping the integrity of the piece, allowing the viewer to still see what the logo is. I think I accomplished this. By having multiple layers it really makes the piece look authentic like it is actually a piece of graffiti.   This is my logo made into a brush, with black and white, and then took the brush and created a pattern. I really like how bright and different this work ended up being compared to my other work. I haven't really done that much work in photoshop and I really liked it. It's hard for me to break out from the norm, but I enjoyed the challenge.
