Wordpress.com vs.Wordpress.org

Wordpress.com vs. Wordpress.org

Wordpress is a website you can use to make your own websites. This method is supposed to be easier than creating an entire website on your own using something like dreamweaver. However, there are some major difference between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org. 


The biggest difference is that in Wordpress.org you run your own site. This is also where you will find the free downloadable Wordpress software. This option does allow the most flexibility with the customization of your site. Sadly, Wordpress.org is more expensive since you are the one hosting and managing your site. These costs start out at around $3-$10 monthly, but as your site gets more traffic the hosting fee will increase.


Wordpress.com takes care of all the hosting for you! This site is easy to setup and , most importantly, free! However, they do offer premium upgrades that do cost money. The business package, which is the most expensive, is $24.92 per month. The cheap price does come with setbacks though, it allows less flexibility with theme and your domain.

Orthogonal Cube

  In illustrator we made orthogonal cubes. We watched a tutorial on Lynda.com to figure out how to make all of the sides equal. We had to copy and paste the three main lines and copied them several times to finish off the cube. Then we added color to the cube to give it depth/perception. The darker colors make it look farther behind and the lighter shades make it come forward. Then i rounded the edges of the cube so that way it did not have weird tails that lost the flow of the eye making it look 3D.  This was a challenge for me because there was so many steps to do to make it look accurate. However the end result was with it, because it looked really awesome and it's cool to say that I made this from scratch.

Famous Logo Tutorial!

Google Play Logo!  This is the Google Play logo that I made with a tutorial. The logo was surprisingly easy. The most difficult part was creating the correct gradients to try and match it the best I could. Along with messing around with the opacity. I had a tom of fun making this logo and it only took me about 15 minutes to create!

Semester 1 Reflection

Name Typography:  As the year started,  we received a name typography project. The goal of the project was to take our name and turn the typography into something that would reveal some of our personal interests.  For example, I personally enjoy jewelry so I made Abigail appear like it was written with pearls. This project took around three weeks from the first of the school year. I struggled with reaching out of my comfort zone coming into junior year. This helped me learn that it is okay to have multiple ideas and that not all of them will work out the way that you planned. I was critiqued mainly on taking some of the concepts too literally instead of pushing them outside of the box. I changed several of them by going all out with some of the ideas that I had started. Making my ideas stand out really helped make my concepts stand out on the page. I really enjoyed tis project because it refreshed my memory on how to use Illus...
