Lucy Attempts Digital Media: A Collective

Lucy Duke FMX Blog Essay Internet / World Wide Web  What, When, Why: The Internet To put such a large idea into such simple words seems crazy, but in short, the Internet is defined as a worldwide system of computer networks. The creation of the internet can be accredited to 2 computer scientists, Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn on January 1st, 1983. The Internet today can be used for anything, seemingly.

Having your first try at Illustrator and not having success can be frustrating, (I would know)! But do not fear, if you are in search of some tutorials, look no further- I have linked 3 great videos for beginners, such as myself, to help begin the navigation of Illustrator.  The ACTUAL Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY Flow Studio produced this 5 minute tutorial that covers pretty much everything “Illustrator” starting from opening the application itself.

  Hi! I’m Lucy Duke. I am originally from Alabama, but have been living in Florida for the past few years. My move to Tampa puts me only 4 short hours away from my hometown, Tallahassee. I have always enjoyed creating, whether that is drawing, painting, or sewing. I hope to add digital media to this list as I learn from this course! I am a sophomore at the University of Tampa where I am currently studying Advertising and Public Relations. Why Ad/Pr you may ask? Well, I am very interested in all aspects of marketing, advertising, and what-not; However, my math skills are less than proficient so business marketing is off the table. But what I may lack in math-skills, I attempt to make up for in creativity, hence my selection of Advertising and Public Relations. FMX-210 is the first class I have ever taken that is of this ‘nature’ but I am very excited to give it a try!     Check out my ASCII profile photo!:
