Week 1B

Today in class, we covered a bit on Operative Systems. Their origins and where we stand today, with PC being more widely used and Apple as the premium hardware/software. Today developers create apps for all platforms.
The workflow should be all about efficiency. Notes on Introductory terms and Apple short cuts will be useful throughout the class. We talked about e-mail guidelines, file sizes and formats, and an Intro to Adobe Illustrator. My first AI exercise in class was to create an illustration 8.5 x 11 of at least 100 black circles. Overlap was allowed. My inspiration for this assignment was the Danish fabric design from the 60s and 70s. Here's the final image:

To create this image, I used the ellipse tool, then chose black for the fill and white for the stroke. I continued to make perfect circles of different sizes, by selecting the ellipse tool and combining the option + shift keys while dragging the cursor. For several of the circles I changed the size of the stroke from 1 point to 8 to create variety and dynamism in the composition. It is a vertical format, asymmetrical, abstract, with repetition, and variety.
