Internet/World Wide Web Post

     According to Britannica, the internet is a network that connect a numerous amount of computers from many different countries. Through the Internet, people can connect and share information from any point on earth to any other point on earth. The Internet location wise is limitless, as along as you have internet connection. The Internet was not just invented by one individual, it consists of multiple technologies invented by a vast number of people. The most influential creators include: Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn. Technically, the technology for the Internet was invented and was used in the 1960s for military purposes, however; the Internet's official birthday is January 1st, 1983. At the start of its usage, it was a primary source for communication between scientists. Now, the Internet is used for numerous agendas. The main purpose of the Internet currently, is to build knowledge and connect people.

    The World Wide Web, also referred as WWW, is not to be confused with the internet. World Wide Web is an interconnected series of public webpages that can be used through connection to the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee was the inventor of the World Wide Web. As reported by, CERN, it was created in 1989 to help meet the need for information-sharing between universities and institutions across the world. The WWW was first used as a global information system. Today, the World Wide Web is used to share work, ideas, information, sites, blogs, photos, and other messages across the world. 

    The Internet and the World Wide Web are two separate entities. Internet is the process of connecting computers anywhere in the world; World Wide Web is a collection of information can only be accessed through connection to the Internet. In short, the WWW and the Internet work together in order to provide information to different computers all across the world. 

    The first website to ever be launched contained information on the World Wide Web Project. This Information included how to use the WWW. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee on August 6,1991. You can still access the first website through the company CERN.

Autoscopy Project

Original Image:  Additional Images:  Artist Statement: This project was one of the harder projects I had to complete this year. Starting off, I did not know what I wanted to do, or how I wanted to manipulate my image. Originally, I was only going to use nature as the images to mask and add onto my own self portrait; however, I wanted to be more original than that. I decided that I would stick with the nature theme, but add on more of an environmental conservation theme. So, I went to course of pollution, greenhouse emissions, and other ideas that revolve around activities that have been hurting the earth. I wanted to portray a contrast between hurting the earth and loving the nature it provides us with. Some of the images I included were of coal power plants, oil spills, smog in India, and trash pollution in our oceans. I also included pictures of flowers, desert floor cracks, the recycling symbol, roots, and leaves. I support environmental friendliness and that is the main re...

Somewhere Project

  Original Scene Photo:  Original Personal Photo: Artist Statement: For this project we had to incorporate ourselves into a movie, series, or famous photo. I choose to include myself in my favorite film, Good Will Hunting. This movie has always held a special place in my heart, from heart-breaking therapy scenes to the intellectual content, and breath-taking cinematography talent from the director Gus Van Sant. The score of the film is also one of the best parts of the film. I first watched this movie after going on a Matt Damon movie watching spree with my dad. I will never forget the amazing acting that was displayed in this movie both by Matt Damon and Robin Williams.   To start this art piece, I began with watching the movie trying to find a scene that I thought would be easier to edit myself into. A lot of the scenes are shot with complex backgrounds that would be hard to mask and edit myself into. I played with the idea of putting myself onto the movie poster, but I...

Business Cards

Image
Artist Statement:  For this project I used the Adobe System, InDesign. Through the tools and applications of InDesign, I was able to make three different business cards. These business cards have a few facets: I included my logo in all three of the cards, my cell phone number is also included, a website to reach me at, and an email. Giving multiple ways of communication is always a good idea when it comes to business cards. I choose mainly pastel colors when designing my business cards. I chose pastel color because I think they worked best with the logo I chose.  However, I did make one of the business cards a bright red; I chose red to be one of the colors since it really “pops” out at a viewer and makes it “unforgettable”. I think the black and white logo really works the best with all the colors I chose.   While making this project, I struggled a few times. One of my main problems during this project was remembering which layer I was currently editing on. When I would ...
