EQ 3--Explain at least two difference between Photoshop and Illustrator. Which one do you like better and why?

One difference between photoshop and illustrator is illustrator allows you to draw a line with the paint or pencil tool, then write text on that line. Another difference is that illustrator isn't pixelated like photoshop. So because it uses vector lines, it doesn't matter how much you zoom in, it will always look smooth. I think I like illustrator more because theres so many more options to be able to manipulate text and colors. That is what i used to create my logo and personalize it.

EQ 2--What has been your favorite project so far and why? Upload the project and explain why it has been your favorite

So far, the trading faces project was my favorite. At first it wasn't because I didn't understand how to do it, but when it came time to do the second one, I enjoyed it because I found it creepy and cool that I could do that. I liked working with each picture and finding out that I could manipulate it to how i wanted it to look.

EQ 1

EQ 1--What do you need to do to start a business? Try to list and explain at least 5 things that you would need to consider.

To start a business, there are five things that you need to make sure to do. The first thing you need to do is, create a marketable product. Figure out what it is you are trying to pursue and accomplish through this business and turn that idea into a product. The second thing you would need to do is create a budget. Creating a budget for your business is one of the more vital things in this process, because without one, your business would surely fail in a matter of weeks. The reason for this is that you need to know how much you can spend and how much you can invest. If you waste all your profit on too much inventory, paying your employees, ect, then you get no profit and nothing to thrive off of. After you do that, you can determine how many employees you can hire and what their pay rate should be, and more importantly, your pay rate. Your employees should reflect who you are as a boss and what kind of business you're trying to run, so it is prudent in hiring the right people. Next, find a convenient and safe setting for your business to be. The building should be where you will get the most business and the surroundings should fit and blend in with your business. The final thing you need to do in starting your business is find a fun, creative way to advertise. You can do this with fliers, business cards, the newspaper, or television ads. The advertisement should make your product sound desirable and not boring. Of course there are more details to it, but that is the gist of it. Good luck!
