The Internet Vs. World Wide Web...

-

    What exactly is the Internet? The Internet is a vast world-wide network that connects every single computer around the world. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are the two men to thank for this. The first ever workable prototype of the Internet was founded in the late 1960s. It was called ARPANET, short for Advanced Research Projects agency Network. The Internet was originally invented for the military, "During the Cold War, it was essential to have communications links between military and university computers that would not be disrupted by bombs or enemy spies." The Internet is used today to manage finances, communicate with others, shop for clothes, and more. The Internet has a great effect on the world we live in today.

    The World Wide Web, or the Web, is a system of compiled documents and web sources that can be accessible through links and hyperlinks, and through the Internet. The founders of the WWW is Tim Berners-Lee & Robert Cailliau in 1989. "The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain." The World Wide Web has made it easier to get information from one person to another in seconds.

    The Internet and the World Wide Web are not the same, but are very similar. Matter of fact, the two work   with each other so each can function properly. The Web is when you are online. The Internet is the network of connected computers that the web works on.  You can think of the Internet as the roads in a city. "Another way to look at this difference is; the Internet is infrastructure while the Web is service on top of that infrastructure."

Autoscopy Project

  My name is Kenneth Lewis and this is my Autoscopy project. As you can see to the left is my edited picture. I placed myself in the middle of the dark woods. To my left you can see a dog barking, to my right is Mona Lisa herself, as well as peanut butter jars on the bottom to dedicate my love for PB&J sandwiches. I wanted to make Mona Lisa look almost like a ghost, so I lowered the opacity of the embedded image of her to achieve this. However if you look even closer,  I put a picture of Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop in the reflection of my shades. For the color of the picture, I wanted to give it a spooky feeling for the audience; that is why it is made with dark and eerie colors. I was able to do this by putting a Hue/Saturation filter on it, then manipulating the color sliders to my liking. My tag brush logo is seen in the middle of my forehead. I enjoyed making this project because I was able to make it however I chose. Nonetheless, it was not too hard to make.

Somewhere

Image
In the pictures above, is my Somewhere project. The first image that is seen is the version I was able to create in the Photoshop software app. The second image that is seen is the original that I chose off the Internet. To explain what it is, it is a music video with the popular Lil Durk, DJ Khaled, and Lil Baby. They all made a successful song, then following it with a successful music video. This project did not take me too long to make because I knew what I was doing. All I pretty much had to do was cut myself out from my picture and place myself beside them. To also add, I managed to put a reflection under my left shoe, so it actually looked realistic. I enjoyed making this because I chose what I wanted it to be. It came out good to me!

My Business Card

Image
 These two pictures (green) is one of the business cards that I was able to create. I really wanted to make this one look cool to look at. Therefore I copied and pasted several of my logos on the front while also putting my last name in the middle. Then, on the back I put my "phone number" 3 different times but the middle one is pink with a black outline/stroke. I am happy on this came out. In these two pictures below (red) is yet another business card; front and back. For this, I put my logo on the left side of the card, then putting the other half a black rectangle with my first name initial and my last name. Then on the back of the card, I simply just made a gray oval with my "phone number" with a black background. My favorite part of this card is the back because it looks so mysterious with just a dark phone number. Lastly, for these two pictures (blue) is another business card that I made. I put a gradient rectangle on the left side of the front and put my logo...
