Today's Work 11-29-10

Today was pretty simple. I had to finish the Food Portrait i had already started from last class. i just had to change the background to green, and I added a carrot for the mouth and beans for the nose. After that i posted it on my blog, and I started researching the differences between Pixel Images and Vector images. i posed the differences in another blog post. Then i messed around with adobe illustrator, which im going to be working on for these next few weeks.

Pixel v.s. Vector: The Differences

The majority of what photoshop makes is pixel-based images, while Adobe Illustrator was designed to create vector based images. Here are the differences between the two:

Pixel- Pixel based images are those constructed of pixels and are resolution dependent.  


Vector-Vector based images are defined by mathematical equations and are resolution independent.



Resolution independence is the concept that elements from the computer screen can be drawn independent from the pixel grid.
Resolution dependent is the concept that elements from the computer are depended from the pixel grid.

Today I read an article about companies in China that were censoring what people could post on their blogs, and they were removing posts that said negative things toward their company. I disagreed with what they were doing, and i posted my opinion in my blog about what i thought about the article. i also had to work on a photoshop assignment, which involved Typography drawing. I was going to trace Ray Lewis with letters. ill finish up next class
