Today in class, I am learning the basis of illustrator. It was a little confusing on how things work, but thanks to the tutorials and my professor, I have become familiar with the program. I still have a ways to go before I can master it, but I am coming along well. I'm learning how to draw in the process and how to let my sentences flow on a curve. I have also learned how to make the words "Big Fish" shape into a big fish. It is cool when you get the hang of it. Illustrator is fun and I would advise everybody that I will come in contact with to try it out. Even if you are not going to become a designer, you should still check it out.

Making A Website
I have learned how to create a website and I have one up and running. It is amazing to be learning how to make a website. Years of wondering how and the amazement of how to even start one has finally crossed my path. When you make a website, you are letting your own unique voice speak out and reach everybody that is interested in listening to your voice. How creative it is, the colors of the page, the font, etc. is your own unique voice being put out on the internet. It's is time consuming, but in the end it is all worth it and if you did a really good website, you will appreciate the time you put into it. Here is my website I have made and I would like you to tell me what you like about it, what I can tweak on it so it can be better, tell me to keep it up, or go a different approach. I will appreciate your feedback. This is my first website.

How can a wiki be benficial to my career
A wiki is a web application that allows anyone visiting a website to edit content on it. Anyone with an account and has the permission to edit the wiki page can change any text that is on it no matter how long the other user has spent time on it. Another way is to tweak what somebody has said to make more clear to the world wide web. A wiki would have a major impact and will benefit my career. I will post my ideas on the wiki page or I can post my design as image on the page. Other users that I have allowed to edit my wiki would edit my ideas or tell me what I should do to fix my design. It would give me connections to my fans and create something that they would like to see. No matter how simply it is, It can still be interesting enough to make a big hit. All the critics think that your creation has to be outstanding and it doesnt have to be.

How can a podcast be beneficial to my career
Podcasting is an online audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed. You can use podcasting as self-guided walking tours. Podcasting can also be used for music, and talk shows such as sportscasting, news coverage, etc. For my career, podcasting becomes useful and effective. I can create a real creative design and make a video and post it on the internet and get feed back. It can provide me with the information to either create better design or to keep coming with that certain type of style. In addition to using podcasting, I can talk about how I have an idea and tell the world (by recording audio) that it will becoming out at a certain or date. I can have people anticipate on my next work of design without sending letters or message to me about when the next time I coming out with a new design. With podcasting I have a plethora of opportunity's to get noticed by the right group of people, and if I do get noticed by the right group people, I will have opportunity's to have a great and successful jobs.
