Internet/World Wide Web/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth

1. TechTarget.com defines the internet as "a worldwide system of computer networks". American computer scientists Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf developed the internet but ARPANET helped make the internet into how we use it today. The internet was created in 1983 but was intended to be for the military until it later became for the world to use. Initially, the internet was used for government researchers to share information but today the internet can used for almost anything.

2. TechTarget.com defines the World Wide Web as "all the public websites or pages that users can access on their local computers and other devices through the internet". Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web in 1989. The WWW was originally created to "meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world". Today the World Wide Web gives users a vast access to mass media and content.

3. The World Wide Web are the pages that you seen on your browser when you're online. The internet is the network of connected computers that makes the World Wide Web work. These two work hand in hand to help us to do things online.

4. The first ever website was created on August 6, 1991. Tim Berners-Lee was the person who created the website and it's still up to this day. https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.

5. Hedy Lamarr holds the patent for what's called frequency hopping which is what is used in wireless communications like WiFi and Bluetooth. Hedy Lamarr was a Hollywood actress in the 1940s and was also a inventor. The song "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr" was written by Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp. The song was written as an ode to the actress.

6. Jaap Haartsen developed the Bluetooth system in 1994. Bluetooth is named after King Harald. The Bluetooth logo is made up of two Nordic letters which are H and B which make up the logo.

7. Some sources say that Hedy Lamarr created wifi back in the 40's but there's also some sources that say that Vic Hayes created wifi in 1997 when he made the international standard. WaveLAN was the original of name before it changed to wifi. The name was created in 1991 and the name wifi came as a way to sound appealing.

BW to Color

Image
  The picture that I chose for this project was a picture of me at a concert that I went to in the beginning of October. I feel this perfectly represents being connected to the world around you and also to the people around you. When you go to concerts everyone is going because they like the artist who's performing. For my colored photos I decided to go with double-split complimentary, split complimentary, and square. I didn't really put much thought as to why I chose these but they were colors that I feel like really popped out in comparison to the colors that you see in the original photo.

Business Cards

For my business cards, I wanted to go with a simple yet groovy design. I just used the pen tool to make the background shapes. For the colors I tend to gravitate to more pastel shades. The font I used was called Modak-Devanagari. I liked that it was cool but you could still be able to read the words.

Propaganda Poster

Image
My propaganda poster advocates for loving one another. I feel like especially now with the conflict between Israel and Gaza we must remember that love can conquer all. In my poster I wanted to use red as the base since the color is common in propaganda posters. For the hearts I chose different shades of pink since pink is another color to represent love. I also put white hearts in my poster. White symbolizes purity and peace which I feel like fits with my theme and overall message for the poster.
