This one played with irony of social media and corruption of privacy. We created an view of an instagram timeline that showcases @ironic_erica, a created user, that is complaining about facebook's data leaks. However, she continues to share her picture of breakfast and post information about where she was. Privacy is a huge issue that we should all take responsibility for. While having a social media account isn't inherently bad, being unaware of your rights are bad though. We (my unit on constitution team) used to argue that the only way that you could truly be private was to shut yourself inside your house with the lights off and the windows down. With the 4th amendment and privacy, in conjunction with the 5th (searches and seizures), if you consent to a search (such as inviting state officials into your home), you surrender your right to privacy. People when downloading social media don't often read the privacy policy but in there they state information about how your information is used, you have to agree in order to use the app, so you are thus surrendering your privacy. Erica above, while she brings up an important point about privacy, she posts personal information on a platform that she agreed to give her information to.

Conflicting on the other hand are two fonts that are from the same font family , but their slight differences make it look unpleasing or like a mistake (AVOID!!!). Contrasting are two fonts from two font families that are put together to show emphasis and contrast.  Final Quotation

P E N    T O O L   P R A C T I C E Using the pen tool was both a hard and easy experience. Previously in digital art you can simply draw a line and the line will appear. However when working with vectors it is more mathematical and precise. The first attempt was tracing the design on the left. Following a video you can duplicate shapes, rotate and adjust the lines after they are made. The lines were also super clean in comparison to my shakey and sketchy hand.  After that I moved on to drawing Dragonite (work in progress). This was my second attempt because the first attempt was unsuccessful. I was cued into my drawing habits of like I was inking or drawing line art. I wasn't paying attention to how the shapes fit together or how they fill. You can't use a paint bucket, but you can utilize layering and arrangement to create the colored shapes that you want. This picture above has 4 layers including the photo layer and it took some learning to figure ou...
