Learn how to use the basic tools in Adobe InDesign 

The narrator says it's basically the same as photoshop. It seems a little bit easier to use when adding colors than photoshop. The pencil tool is a freehand shape that seems easy to use. Smooth tool smooths out the pencil tool. You can rotate shapes. The sheer teel seems cool.  This video is very helpful in showing all the different tools in InDesign.

How to use Adobe InDesign CC for beginners 5 Indesign Tools You have to know about 

You can put text in the margins. Drag and drop to make text boxes. I really like how the narrator has a yellow circle around the curser to see what she is doing and clicking.  I like how she explains what she is clicking and what it does. If your cursor is a hand the direct selection tool is selected. Control A is to select all text. I really liked her videos if I am having trouble I am going to see if she has any other tutorials to help me with InDesign.

 My picture:  The Movie Scene:  Final Image:  Artist Statement:  So I originally decided that I was going to do a scene from the Harry Potter movies. When I was working on it, I got so frustrated with the lighting and the way it looked. So I decided that I was going to do pick a different scene. I googled Gilmore Girl scenes sitting and I saw this image and I thought it would be perfect to photoshop myself into. Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows and I've always wanted to be Lorelai's daughter. In this scene, I could make it look like I was her daughter.  The thing was I had to take a picture for it which took forever because none of my pictures that I already had would match up. It took me a couple of tries to get it right but I think it came out pretty good. I had some problems though with attaching layers to the mask it kept copying the layer instead of attaching it. It took a while but I got it to attach.  The tools I used for this quick selection tool and the brush

Tag Brush Project

Logo:  Tag brush:  Color tag brush:  Artist statement:       Can I just say I love how this turned out! The color tag brush looks so cool! I created this logo in a previous project. For this project, I created a tag for my remaining projects. The tag brush is my signature for my remaining digital art projects. My favorite color brush is the bottom right. I used a magenta color first then a sky blue but moved the brush a little to the right. Then I added a bright yellow to the and I moved the brush downwards to create the finishing touch.        I did have some problems with creating the brush. I did all the steps and I realized I didn't change the document to the grayscale which messed up the brush because the different layers I added were seen. I then redid everything in the right document (rdg color) and it turned out amazing. Oh, I also had to change all the stokes in the original logo so the viewers could clearly see the image and the different colors.

 Original Images:   New photoshop version:  Artist Statement:  Lately, I have been creating scenarios in my head and with this project, I was able to create what I think is happening. So I think that the goddess of inspiration is pouring inspiration and creativity around me. The sprinkling of colors represents the creativity that is hitting me.  The books flying around me represent the stories I could write but I'm probably not going to.  The butterflies represent the inspiration flying away from me when I  have to focus on schoolwork. I really like how this turned out.  The tool I mainly used was the quick selection tool and the brush tool. I first put the background in then the books, then the teapot, then my picture, then the colors, and then the butterflies. I had to most trouble with the colors pouring on my face. I didn't know how I wanted it to be placed so I ended up redoing the part three times. For most of the items, I just lowered the opacity to blend in. The last pa
