How does technology affect my life?

Technology affects my life in in a very positive way. Through technology I learn so much more than I would without it, but thats' a case in every persons life nowadays. It personally affects/and will affect my life in a very important sort of way because I'm aiming to major in art and web design in college. In my opinion web design is very fascinating and so is anything to do with multimedia. I love the kind of stuff you can create using programs like for example Adobe Fireworks. Its just amazing and I hope to have a job in the future involving that kind of stuff, its simply fascinating. The most important of all aspects of it to me is the constant use of your imagination to design and create stuff like websites , banners, logos, animations, and combining all those listed together to make each other better than they were before. So basically it comes down to that technology will be my life, in a bigger way than just a daily use of a cellphone by an average person. My skills in the field of technology will decide how successfull I am in life. It will be crucial for me to learn and exceed my knowledge of technology to be successfull in this field but I know I can do it.

Charity Logo

I created this logo for the Surfrider Foundation. This foundation fights to save our beaches and oceans, and pretty much anything to do with water and preserve it for the future. I decided to make a logo for saving the beaches. I tried incorporate the sunset to my logo title to make a sense of unity and the white font to make the small font stand out.

What is a page banner?



I opened Adobe Fireworks, then opened new project and changed the canvas width and height settings so I can make the canvas in a shape of the banner. Then I selected the rectangular tool and made a background and changed the color to dark gray. Then I changed the stroke of the background. After that I made the movies name and selected certain filters to make it fade away, I also changed the stroke of the letters to make a glow effect on the letters which makes it stand out from the rest of the banner. Then I imported two images into the file and pasted them on my banner after adjusting their size till I was satisfied with the way they look. I had to change layer position so the images don't go under the background and not on top of the title. Then I saved the image as .jpg.

My Signature in Fireworks.

To make this image I opened fireworks, created a new png file. I customized the size of the canvas, then selected the rectangular tool to change the background and the stroke of the background. Then I selected a font and wrote my name. I customized the size and typed my name in. Then I changed its stroke and texture and also the color. When I came to something that satisfied me, I saved it and posted it on this blog post.

What is Plagiarism?

1. what is the difference between Plagiarism and Piratism?
I think the difference between Plagiarism and Piratism is that the first one you copy and claim to be your work while the second one you just copy and sell for your own profit.
2. How many times have you been guilty of either one?
I don't think I've ever been found guilty of either of those.
