I found the star tool to be interesting on how to make the star bigger and smaller using the up and down arrow buttons. My question is whats the difference between the selection tool and the direct selection tool.

What is outline mode and when should we be using it? In the video they outlined balloons in order to only show the strokes or borders of the artwork. I thought that was interesting and am curious to know what situations I would utilize that method.

This video shows how to use effects including "specified steps" which blends text and images together. In the video they used the warp tool to create a "dripping" effect to your art work.

Logo

       For my Logo Project I decided to incorporate all of the things that describe who my character is in one image. I choose three key things that I love including a basketball, a hat, and Tampa Bay because that is where I am from and makes me who I am today. I have always been an athlete who loves to compete in everything I do. I enjoyed this assignment and playing around with all of the different tools on the software. The hardest part for me in this assignment was making the arcs in the basketball, but I think it turned out okay. Making this was one of my favorite assignments we have had thus far in the semester.

The hardest part for me was trying to figure out how to change the brush so I could incorporate my tag brush. Other than that I think they turned out pretty decent.

 Final Image: I had really fun with this project once I finally got started. Just like everything else in this class it was very time consuming and required a lot of time on youtube watching videos. But I am pleased with how it came out. The idea is me placed in the woods at nighttime and I am supposed to be a wolf with an evil eye. It took me over 5 hours in all to complete this, but I learned a lot, especially with using different layers. Overall, I think I did a pretty good job.   Other Images:
