Internet vs. World Wide Web

 When it comes to the Internet and the World Wide Web, many people tend to believe that these terms mean the same thing. This is false because the World Wide Web is a subset of the Internet. According to Page One Power, the World Wide Web is a common area for information exchange that is facilitated by the internet.  In other words, you connect to the internet to access the World Wide Web. 

As you may know, one of the marvel’s of modern technology is the Internet. The internet is a big public network of networks. Think of it as a global computer where other computers can gain access and can physically interact with the system. The internet was originally invented for military purposes but was expanded for the purpose of communication by Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf.


While the Internet had roots of development in the 1960’s, the World Wide Web was first accessed in 1991 by Tim Berners- Lee. The Web makes use of hypertext to access information on multiple networks. We typically access the Web through browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.


According to history.com, the first website arrived on August 6, 1991. The site was about the World Wide Web and how to use it. It is still available to access.

Tag Brush

Image
  My tag brush was created in Adobe Photoshop. For my tag brush, I applied they spray2 overlay and a scratch filter to create the brush. In the brush, you can clearly see my logo in a grayscale format but I am able to change the color by editing the brush. I will be using this tag brush for future projects to copyright them as mine. This project was pretty easy for me. I never created a brush in Adobe Photoshop but by following the instructions on the pdf, I was able to complete this brush in less than 10 minutes. The process was quick and simple!

      For this project, I had to photoshop myself into a scene of movie. I chose Home Alone and picked the scene where Kevin ask for help from Donald Trump. I added myself into the frame to make it look like I'm trying to help him by keeping him away from him.  This project involved masking, working with adjustment layers and acting out an image to execute the photoshop. I took the image of me at work, and had my coworker act out as the boy so I could cut out my body and hand to add to the movie scene. After adding myself in, I adjusted the Hue/Saturation to make my skin tone match.  I found this project to be easy and fun. It took me under an hour to create my scene. Below you can find my original images.

I believe that this image would be hard to photoshop myself in because of  the light beams and city lights that look like they would be hard to match with. Plus there is an illusion of speed going on that I believe I would mess up. This gives me an idea that I want to make a project from a movie scene and flip it around to make it funny. There are many parodies created but this one seems to be the best. The irony in this photo is that Trump is photoshopped as Godzilla and is destroying the county.  This image made me laugh because the editor added in an actually ass instead of photoshopping the girls butt. He wasn't wrong though and technically did what she told.  I found this illusion to be cool because it gives the idea of a couple being together in photo frames. There is so much you can do with this idea with adjustment layers and if I were to do it, I would edit the color and create a different setting in each frame.
