In Scientific Visualization we just recently switched to the new unit of using Adobe illustrator, and as someone who was brought up with Photoshop, this was a huge change. For one, the transform tool is completely different. instead of the "command select" in photoshop, the transform is free select, so when you drag and click, you immediately have the option to move the selected line anywhere you want. Another issue that I have is the point system. No, you do not earn rewards for the more points you have, you just have more options on how how to manipulate your creation, for better or for worse. I realize that Adobe made illustrator for a reason and i definitely believe that I will acquire the skills necessary for it, but the adjustment is tough.
-Adobe Illustrator has a very different layout than photoshop -Adobe Illustrator is beneficial to things I have not yet learned -Adobe Illustrator can make cool things that I don't know about -I am not a big fan of Illustrator helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/transforming-objects.html

This past year in Scientific Visualization, we have been required to do regular blog posts, making them the key to success in the class. However, there is one problem. Kids are forgetting to do these reflections, and with no makeup options and missing a post is unredeemable. I personally know multiple people who are barely passing and still get all A's on their quizzes, only failing from the prioritizing of other classes homework and forgetting about the posts. This is an issue as some kids are unable to access internet from home, and get punished for it. Some kids are so overcome with stress and anxiety that they only get an hour at home to relax from work. These blog posts hurt. Not only our grades, but our mental states. Studies have actually shown that too much homework can end up taking a toll on kids health, and some mental health professionals have stated that students should not even have to feel obligated or absolutely forced to do all their homework because if that is the case, serious consequences can follow. I propose a solution. Rather than getting rid of the blog posts because the teacher needs to see our thought process and understanding of the current topic, students have an opportunity to learn from their errors, correct their blog posts, and have a chance at a fair grade. Do you agree?
- Blog posts are harmful. - Too much work can take a serious toll. - Students mental health should be valued. - Schools don't understand students. - Blog posts are much too serious. www.imgur.com/a/G6rU8 https://www.healthline.com/health-news/children-more-homework-means-more-stress-031114#3 Over the past two weeks we have been working on a cool tutorial on bitmapping. A bitmap is a representation in which each item corresponds to one or more bits of information, especially the information used to control the display of a computer screen. This technique is used a lot in the world of game art and digital design, making it a very relevant topic for our class to focus on. the project consisted of a variety of videos set up to build a video game landscape, explaining thoroughly the steps needed in order to finish a specific part of the game. I think that I learned a lot from this project, especially in terms of new tools and shortcuts needed for photoshop.
