Step by Step Tutorial
Proposal
In my video tutorial I plan to teach step-by-step how to digitize art. As an artist, for the most part we are always doodling on notepads or on scratch paper. Sometimes those doodles that we create can be some of our best work but because of the low quality medium that it is on we don’t enhance the art or think about other possibilities that we can create with it. In my step-by- step video I will show how to vectorize art so that it can be used as you wish. Once you make your art into a vector, the art itself can be sized up or down and you can also manipulate the colors and or add different effects. Vectorizing art can be useful as you can make an unlimited amount of prints, it is easier to share, and it’s easier to store as a digital file. The program I am thinking of using is Adobe Illustrator.

REFLECTION
Creating videos in this class is something that really sparked joy for me this semester. I used to create videos for fun a few years ago but stopped to focus on graphic design. Being able to create them again this year has motivated me to want to invest more time into it. I would love to create a YouTube channel where I get to practice my video editing skills and share with the world but I feel that I first need to come up with a "niche" or topic of which my videos will be about. In this video I share how to digitize art, the video was originally 29 minutes long but I had to shorten it to make it under the 5 minute mark. I had to speed up a lot of the sections but I do feel that it is still a successful video. I also had to cut back on details but I would imagine that I would share this video with a class that is more advanced or as a refresher to get students to remember the tools that illustrator has to offer.
