    The tool used in this video was “divide” in the “pathfinder” tab under “window” and it allows for you to cut shapes in any way you would like as many times as you would like. I think this tool would be really easy to use. If I were to be making some sort of graphic design, I think this tool would be really helpful in making a design based off of the shapes I had. Something I found interesting about the video was its 60 second explanation. They only had a five second intro and then got right into showing the tool. A lot of content creators like to add long intros and extra content that is not needed in a tutorial.

    The tool used in this video is the repeat grip tool. This tool allows you to essentially copy and paste an item into a grid format with columns and rows. It also allows you to change the spacing in between the shapes and the size of the grid. I think this tool could be really helpful and easy to use. If I ever needed to make an American flag I could use this tool to create all 50 stars very quickly. One thing I found interesting was how you could still change the color of the item while it was in the grid.

    In this video, it teaches you how to repeat shapes with the rotate tool. The tool allows for one shape to be copied around another giving users an easy way to create symmetry around the base shape. I think I could use this to make a symmetrical logo of some sort or maybe even an optical illusion. This could also be an easy way to create a clock or even planets revolving around a sun. I believe that this will be another easy tool to use with how simple the directions were in the video. Something I found interesting about this video was how it was split up into specific parts along the scrub bar to quickly get to what you needed, so that you could skip the intro and outro of the video.

 In this first video, the creator teaches you how to use the free transform tool. Similar to the select tool, this tool allows you to select, resize, and rotate frames. But in contrast, whenever you go to change the size of a picture, it resizes not only the frame, but the size of the picture keeping everything in ratio. This could be a helpful tool whenever you are quickly going around editing the placement of your pictures on your worksheet. This video was short and easy to follow, so applying this tool could be applied to your projects quickly.  In this next video, this creator shows us how to use the convert shape tool. This allows the user to turn any shape into another. There are only a few buttons that need to be hit, so it would be easy for anyone to find and apply to their work. I liked this video because not only did it show how to change the shapes using the convert shape tool, but it gave us other ways to change shapes including using the pen tool. I think I could ...

Mixer Brush Tool      In this video, the mixer brush tool is used. I think this tool would be easy to use, but it could be used in a lot of cool ways. The way it can mix colors really reminds of an Apple advertisement for an IPhone or IPad. I think it is neat how the brush can mix multiple colors on the screen, sort of like how a real brush could mix colors from different colored paints. I believe making more advertisements with this tool would work out well and could attract people’s attention. Something interesting I found about this tutorial video was how the creator would highlight and zoom in on the parts of his screen he was using to give clear directions to the viewer. It was easy to follow along and anybody could understand what he was explaining. Spot Healing Brush      Another easy to use tool is the spot healing brush. This tool allows the user to remove any objects from an image with just a click and drag. This tool could be really helpful when ...

  I found this image and thought it would be quite difficult to recreate. The color streaks look like they fit perfectly into the environment and I am not sure how the artist was able to accomplish this look. It reminds me of someone using a camera with slower shutter speeds to make moving light appear like it it staying where it once was. I wonder if there was maybe something else in the man's place that got cut out and replaced that originally had light.  This next picture inspired me to put myself in a photo with famous people. My idea is to put myself in the comedy movie "Rush Hour". This movie is about two detectives from two different countries who need to work together to save a Chinese diplomat's daughter after she was kidnapped. It is one of my favorite movies and it features Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan as the lead actors. I found this image quite funny because it reminded me of somebody I knew. I have seen James Fridman''s work before and he is an e...
