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

Illustrator is used mainly for more specific and detailed pictures and advertising methods while photoshop is better suited to altering pictures rather than creating them. Of the two I enjoy using illustrator for the most part more. The thing that bothers me is how annoying it is to change the color of the paintbrush on mine. Instead of changing it at will I have to paint something, click on the mouse tool click on the object I just colored, and then change the color of it. I have to do this every time I want to changes colors so doing a multicolored design can sometimes be very annoying.

What has been your favorite project so far and why? Upload the project and explain why it has been your favorite.

My favorite project so far has been the trade face design. I thought it was cool we immediately got to see how to photoshop people's faces onto different bodies and understand a lot of the fundamentals of photoshop. It was a cool beginners project and I hope we get to learn more interesting photoshop possibilities while I am in here. This is what the picture of my trade face looked like when I uploaded my face to a girl's body:

Its not great but I still feel it turned out pretty well for my first time.

Company Ideas

Today we worked on ideas for our company name and products. We needed to come up with 10 names and product ideas that we thought we could use. I am leaning towards the name "In the Mix" and I am thinking about creating muffins for my product. After that every group needed to come up with an idea of what it was going to do out of those ideas. Afterwards we need to blog about what we did and then publish it.

EQ1- 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.

You need many different elements to start a business. The first element you will need is a consumer group in your area that will be interested and want to buy from your business. You need a storefront that is strategically located to attract the most customers. You must make sure to keep a large amount of money in reserve for start up costs, plus, most businesses don't start making any substantial money until the second to sometimes even third year depending on your product. You must be willing to work long hours and make hard decisions. Being your own boss has its own perks, but will come with many obstacles especially to someone beginning a new business. And last but not least, you need good advertising to help get your name out to help attract new customers.
