In today's lesson, we had Tom who came over to our class to teach us how to use the Illustrator to create our masthead. We learnt things like duplicating, adding circles, moving specific parts of the letter and more. We were also introduced to a website called color.adobe.com where we could pick out specific colours that complemented eachother and saw different shades of a colour too. We then copied the specific code of the colour and pasted it on the actual colour part on Illustrator which changed the colour of the writing. I enjoyed using this software because it allows you to move specific parts of the text which you cannot do on other softwares like InDesign or PhotoShop. However, this is not my final design because I am still not sure about the colour scheme. Overall, I liked how I duplicated the layer and added a darker blue in the background which made the Masthead look 3d. In addition, I added white circles in the middle of the letters 'O's and 'D'. I added the white circles to make those specific letters thinner which I think made a big difference. I will probably use Illustrator when I create my actual Masthead because it has many advantages.
