Illustrator Criteria

Criterion A- Investigation
2- problem is stated and investigated.
   I didn't use very many sources. I manly sourced my tutorials for Illustrator, and I didn't even source the previouse map I used.

Criterion B- Design
 3, afew designs are generated
   I Posted what it looked like when I was about half way through but I didn't do any designs aside from that.

Criterion C- Plan
5 a plan with detail is produced
   I had a good plan of what I would do, what I posted was good.  It had an idea of what it would look like and a start to the numbering of the rooms.

Criterion D- Create
6 appropriate techniques and equipment are used.  The product must be appropriate quality in respects to requirements and resources. The plan is followed and any changes from the plan are justified.
   I spent most of my time on this, I used Illustrator, as instructed and made a map that fully reflected what it was designed to reflect.


Criterion E- Evaluate
5 he success of the product and the student’s own performance are evaluated  in respect to design specification and views of intended users.  Possible improvements to both product and student’s performance on each stage of the design cycle are described.
   I revised my evaluation after looking at some better ones.  It turned out better than before.


Criteria F- Evaluate
6 Satisfactory personal engagement and a satisfactory attitude towards safety, cooperation, and respect for others is consistently displayed.
   I had fun doing this project and liked every minute of it.

RBG and CMYK

   I googled them and found that RBG means Red Green Blue and CMYK means Cyan Magenta Yellow Black.  I don't understand why the last letter is black when it is a K in the acronym.  RBG is what you see on your computer screen, it is the primary pigments.  CMYK is what your printer prints through and is slightly duller in some cases.
   You can also convert a picture to CMYK to have ore control over what your picture looks like.  Also there are some colors that cannot be seen through CMYK.  These colors are "out of the CMYK gamut."  It seems that when you print your printer has a different color pallet and it won't come out the exact same as on your computer screen unless you convert it to CMYK.

All information came from:

File Types

There are different file types on the computer.  we use file types like .JPG .AI .PNG and >SVG, in our class.  We use these and a couple others because they are all different.  It would be easier to have just one but then we wouldn't be able to do the things we can.  There are different file types because they do different things.  Whether it uses pixels or vectors, or whatever,  you need the different file types to make a picture look different.  It all depends on what you need to use the picture for.  We also have different file types to be more compatable with different software.

Today

Illustrator

   Illustrator was useful and I can see why a lot of companies use it.   It had more applications then ROME and I was able to do a lot more on it.  It was kind of hard just because we had to practice a bit more since there were so many things we could do.  I think I like Illustrator more just because it has more applications for different uses.  It is hard to work in but not if you practice a lot.
   Illustrator is a software that can create many things.  A lot of companies use it to make logo's, characters and other things.  In Illustrator you can create shapes with color, depth and color changes.  It is great for making maps, characters, graphs and much more.  I made a map using illustrator and in my oppinion it turned out much better than the original.
