Technical Questions Part 1

1. The gradient tool is the tool that looks like a square, with a rectangular object fading from light to dark, and has a small right hand triangle in the bottom right hand corner. It is in the right column and is the 6th square down. The Pen tool is the third button down on the right column. It has a calligraphy pen on it and also has a little right hand triangle on the bottom left. The shape tool is the 9th down in the right hand column. It has a square that is somewhat faded in the middle that is gray.

2. The gradient would look black on the bottom and become lighter towards the top of the canvas (fading from black to white.)

3. To change the gradient from transitioning from a solid color to a transparent, you need to click on the icon that is second from the left on the top bar that shows a little gradient of what it will look like. Click on the second on from the right and it shows the color fading into a gray and white checkerboard pattern (this represents transparency.)

4. You have made Vector Art.

5. No it is not a closed path.

6. The rectangle will be blacked.

7. To make a circle, you will right click on the rectangle button, hold it down, and click on the ellipse button.

8. 72 dpi

9. DPI = dots per inch

10. Both of the pictures will print the same size. They are the same size, but photo B looks larger because it is magnified 66.7% while photo A is only magnified 50%.

Extra Credit: PPI = pixels per inch

Ad Assignment

1.) A macbook is advertised here. The ad is aimed at almost any age. They are trying to sell the product by saying its beautiful and powerful.
2.) Serif: San Serif
Weight: Light
Width: Normal
Posture: Oblique
3.) I think the text is fine. It is clean and put together well, just like a macbook.
1.) A Dunkin Donuts Carmel Iced Coffee is being advertised here. They are making it look delicious, and it is aimed probably anyone 15-16 years and up.
2.) Serif: Rounded
Weight: Extra Bold
Width: Condensed
Posture: Italic
3.) I think the text is effective. It is a nice color, and the carmel ice coffee is nice.

1.) This ad is advertising a Blackberry Curve. It is aimed at anyone ages 14 and up, and mostly at people age 25 and up.
2.) Serif: Sans Serif
Weight: Extra Bold
Width: Expanded
Posture: Oblique
3.) I think that the text is effective, because it's very professional looking and to the point. It's just like the Blackberry works.

Criticism post



This is a photo I took a while ago. This photo is over exposed for one. Because the photo is over exposed in the front of the photo, the background of the photo is very under exposed. There are also many shadows because of the lighting that is used in this photograph.
