     After the last few months of uploading to this blog, I finally present to everyone, the portfolio. I made this portfolio using all of the work I have done in my FMX 210-1 Digital Media class, and turned it into a short and simple book that can be sent to employers and clients. Creating this portfolio was really fun, as I have never done anything like it before and I love trying new things. I love creating things with software, and this project was no exception. While in the process of creating this project, I used around 4 different Adobe software to pull this project together, and I had a blast doing it. I really think that a lot of people could benefit from creating a portfolio, as it is really fun and you learn a ton of useful digital skills while doing it. And without further ado, here is the portfolio.

I really enjoyed making this image, because I have never done something like this before and have always wanted to, even if it is just for an assignment. I haven't seen this film yet, but I intend on watching it soon, it'll go down on the list with the other 100+ movies on my "To Watch" list.

Ohio is also where a very prominent figure on YouTube lives, Roman Atwood. He constantly conveys a positive message in his videos and is overall a good person. I consider him someone that I aspire everyday to be, by being kind and helpful to those around me.

      Today I'll be going over the 3 most important tools for InDesign beginners. All tools are extremely beginner friendly and should be really easy to learn. Without further ado, lets get into it!   1. Fill            I almost always use the fill tool when working in InDesign, it's really helpful when you need to color a bunch of shapes in really quickly. I think that beginners would really benefit from this tool because they may be filling their shapes by using the properties panel on the left of the workspace. This video is perfect for beginners, as they explain it really well and take it nice and slow. 2. Image Trace       The image trace tool is a simple but amazing effect, and I think that everyone who is new to InDesign should learn this technique. This video clearly and concisely explains how to use how to use the Image Trace tool, and two other extremely useful tools. The Image Trace tool is fairly...
