Shapes

For this assignment I used union, punch, crop, and intersect. Union was used for the squares in the top left corner. I made three equal squares and with the union button, I merged them together. Punch was used for the rectangle in the bottom left corner. I made a rectangle and a circle, and with the punch button, I punched the piece of the circle that was overlapping into the rectangle, into the rectangle. Intersect was used in the upper right corner. I made three circles which overlapped each other and when I selected the intersect button, the only evidence left of the circles was the middle of all three. Crop was used in the bottom center image. I made a star and put a circle in the center of it. After selecting the crop button, the two images merged into the image at the bottom/center of the picture.

Pastries


To create this image in fireworks I used many different tools. I used Layers to help myself work with the different layers of images in the picture such as the picture and text. I used the Stroke Color to change the color of the doughnut. The fill color was used to fill in the color in the words "Existential Pastries". The Ruler was used to help me find the exact point on the canvas of where to begin my ellipse. The X and Y was the position of the object which we drew on the canvas. The W and H are the width and the height of the object. I used the EditAlighn to center all my objects in the image. The combine paths was when I created the doughnut. I used the Undo button whenever I made a mistake that I needed to fix. The Group tool was used to combine the column with its top. Gradient was used to give a texture to the doughnut. Edge was used to create a feather look to the text. Texture helped me create a different feel to the doughnut. The transform tool was used to rotate the doughnut ninety degrees counter clockwise. Filters was used to create a different color tone to the doughnut. Distance was used to show how far out the shadow casted on the text or doughnut. The text tool helped me write in "the cake is commentary". The styles panel gave me the style of writing for my text. The new style tool allowed me to create a new style for my text because there was a specific style I needed.
