Lesson 2 Adobe Flash Questions

1) Name two primary differences between Mergeable Shapes and Drawing Objects.

- Mergeable Shapes literally merge together and become one shape and when taken apart, it's like taking one shape apart and pieces are missing. This does not occur with Drawing Objects. Also, Mergeable Shapes require layers if you don't want the shapes to be torn apart, while Drawing Objects do not.

2) What tool would you use to manipulate individual points that make up a shape or path?

- The selection tool.

3) What three advantages does isolating artwork on a layer offer?

- You can make it look as though two images are merged, but you can still separate them without ruining the original shape if you wish to do so.

Updated super villain

Lord Of The Rings tattoo design. White tree of Gondor and inscription on ring of power.

     This is the completed version of my villain; Vaporous Vivian. I am in a field of flowers because flowers are groovy, and so am I. Here I am slowly starting to disappear, and the coolness and the radicalness is literally radiating off of me. I am awesome. (The reason I am evil is because I steal everyone else's "cool" for myself and make everyone lame except me because I rock).

The Three Types of Superhero Origin Stories

     1) Trauma; when someone undergoes a lot of stress and develops abilities and uses them to help people. An example would be Batman. 

     2) Destiny; when someone is the "chosen one", and they realize they have abilities that they never knew about before. An example would be Harry Potter or Percy Jackson.

     3) Chance; something accidentally happens to a person and causes them to gain powers. Some example of this would be Spiderman and The Hulk. 

     For my font for the villain "Vaporous Vivian", I used a cloudy sort of type. I first used the Helvetica font and then deleted all around the letters so that it was only the lines, and then created a cloudy looking paintbrush. First I went over the letters with the brush using white, then I went over again once more with a black brush around 65% opacity, and then once more with the white brush. This created the sort of separated cloudy look. After I finish with my villain, I will add it in against the black background. I will be fading into it.
