This wasn't as difficult as I thought. The interface looked very complicated but surprisingly easy enough to navigate once you watched a couple of tutorials. I just thought that traffic would be the thing that would make Clark Kent crack, not any bad guy. I wish I had more time and footage so I could have experimented with more effects. I understand using copyright-free materials but some scenes from movies would have helped enormously.

The Classics Are The Best

Sometimes you shouldn't mess with the classics. I am not a fan of change. Maybe that's why I don't like the new versions of classic games. I played Namco Museum on PSP. It contained a 3d version of Pac-Man. I was not pleased with it. Although the graphics were better and a bit more complex, it lacked that arcade feeling. I missed the electric blue background. I wonder what it means when I could never complete Pac-Man but I finished the PSP version. There is no other Centipede like the classic version. Iphone version offers three choices: classic, arcade and ultra. I played all and I still will choose the classic version. The graphics may be a little prettier and bright, but the gameplay is too hectic to enjoy with the busy visuals. NO OTHER Space Invaders is as good as the first. I played the one on the 2600, yes I am a little dated. That one had different settings like moving barricades, your fighter was huge and making it hard not to be killed or invisible invaders. I played the Space Invaders game for DS. It looked more military like. It could be visually updated but no extras. I have no objections to a missile command or pong upgrade.

That Simpsons episode

About two weeks ago, I saw an episode of The Simpsons called That 90's Show. It was very funny because I remember the '90s. They also had an episode about the '80s pop culture. That episode was hilarious too, but I vaguely remember the '80s. Ha Ha. Homer was walking down the street singing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
In the show, Homer makes a reference to standing in front of a Joan Miro sculpture on a college campus. A snotty professor responded with something like, "It's pronounced as Juan." Homer was mocked and ran away. Our class critique a Joan Miro painting in our first discussion post. I'm with Homer. I thought Joan was pronounced "Joan" and that he was a she.

Scissors from a different side

One of the first projects that I finished in my design class was to created interesting angles of a stapler, clothes pin, pliers, hole puncher or scissors. I chose to use scissors as my subject.

I was pretty rusty. I hadn't drawn anything in years. The style of scissors only added to the problem. It was not the standard shears. Instead, it was a pair of Kitchen Aid scissors.

I've used Photoshop a couple of years ago, but I never used Illustrator before. The setup looks like Photoshop, but the tools are different. This was our class first project and I already got a "swimming in the head". I had to read anything and everything that would help me. I did the tutorial that was listed on the school, but this didn't selected or nothing changed. Through trial and error, I figured things out.

I posted the wrong project. I posted the project from the tutorial instrutions. I later posted the correct Illustrator document.
