SWATCHES

I LOVE SWATCHES. SWATCHES MAKE MY JOB OF CREATING A BROCHURE SO MUCH EASIER!!!

Over the past few classes we have been learning about swatches! Swatches allow you to create new colors and also to name them. Swatches also allow you to change the gradient and tint of colors, and then quickly and easily apply them to your document. Also, instead of having to go in and manually change the gradient or tint of the color you want, with the drop down menu you can control the color of all objects using that one swatch. Swatches makes it easier to adjust color schemes without having to go and adjust each color individually. Naming the new colors and tints also helps to keep track of what you are doing.

Clouds n stuff

This blog is to explain about files and file sizes. There are many different file sizes, and it is important to know them for many different reason. You will want to be aware of a file size when uploading to a company server for example, because you would not want to take up unnecessary space on the server. Another reason could be that some computers can not support the fyle type that you are using.

The above image is the cloud saved in gif form. gif's are very low resolution files

The above image is saved in jpg form. jpg's are still small in size but will be better quality than a gif.

The last image is in png form. png's are pretty much a combo of gif and jpeg in that is very low rez but still has great clarity.
