Balance + Contrast

Adobe Illustrator For this assignment we were asked to talk about the most important facts from each video. In the first video I felt the most important information shared was the explanation of a vector and how it is different from other images.

The First Video: For this video I thought that the most important information that was shared was the part about being able to customize and change your workspace view. Whether its picking from the drop down menu, or creating your own custom setup I think this tool is a great guide for beginners, as well as an effective tool for experienced users as a means of creating more efficiency and flow in their processes.  The Second Video: Unfortunately I wasn't able to view this video, but the most important information that the article gave about layers was how to duplicate a layer,  as a photographer I have used this layer many times when creating surrealist works, such as people seeming floating. And so by combing 2 photographs over three layers, I can creating a convincing image that depicts someone f
