In class, we started working in Adobe Premiere. I've had to learn about a new workspace and learn how to use a few new techniques to be able to make a new form of digital media. The video I made was a simple slideshow of images increasing in the intensity of the same color. The images were mostly pink, and as the video progressed, the pacing changed and the colors got more vivid. I started off with a very light pink image that featured nature, which is calm. The first few images were of nature, and as the video progresses, there are more things going on. The images change to more of human things, including power lines, a person, and lights, as the pink color gets brighter and more vivid. I researched some ways that videos can get more intense when I made this and I researched some about colors getting more intense. I used these techniques in creating my image.

Mariokart is a very popular game series that has existed since 1992, with the release of Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Mariokart games are games made by Nintendo with characters from other Mario games, but instead of being an active story/puzzle game, you race with other people or with computers. Over the years, Mariokart has developed and changed greatly. New items have been added to use while you race, new characters, new maps, and new game mechanics have all been added to make the Mariokart series as fun as possible. In 2014, the newest Mariokart game was released for the Nintendo Wii U, and later in 2017, Mariokart 8 Deluxe was released for the Nintendo Switch. Mariolart 8 Deluxe was the same game as Mariokart 8, but it was for Nintendo's new console, the Nintendo Switch, and included all of the downloadable content that was released after Mariokart 8. Mariokart 8 Deluxe is fun to play, and is greatly balanced for all types of players. Unlocking new parts to use is very fun, and completing every Grand Prix is satisfying and fun. Mariokart 8 Deluxe also offers many online features, such as Tournaments and Battles. These modes are just as fun, and you can play with your friends no matter where they are. Overall, Mariokart 8 Deluxe is a great game, with great graphics, and great online features for multiplayer, and you don't have to pay for downloadable content.

I wanted to research more ways to practice and improve in Illustrator. Something I researched was how to get better at being creative and having more appealing ideas. To have more creative ideas, you can try drawing ideas on paper first. You can also look at other types of media, such as books or digital images for inspiration. Another thing I learned about was the Clipping Mask Tool. This is similar to the vector mask in Photoshop, and allows you to put the texture of something onto a defined shape. I used this tool in creating one of my playlist covers, which I included below. I used a clipping mask to put the galaxy texture onto the could shape in Illustrator.
design.tutsplus.com/articles/10-essential-tips-tools-all-adobe-illustrator-beginners-should-learn--cms-23163 My skills in Adobe Illustrator have improved over the last few weeks, and now I am able to make better art overall and I want to learn how to use new tools to improve my skills even more. The two tools I researched were the Rotate Tool and the Perspective Grid. The Rotate Tool can be accessed with 'R' on the keyboard, and it is an easy tool to use. Simply select what you are trying to rotate first, select the Rotate Tool, and click and drag to rotate your object, like you are using the Group Selection Tool. The next tool, the Perspective Grid, is another simple tool. The keyboard shortcut for this tool is Shift+P. This tool brings up lines over your art that help you draw with perspective. You can click and drag to move the lines around and you can use other tools without accidentally selecting the perspective lines. To turn off the Perspective Grid, you can click the 'X' on the icon that will appear once it is turned on.
