Internet/World Wide Web

Internet/World Wide Web


    The Internet is a system that allows communication from various computer networks to interconnect. It was created in the early 1970s by Robert W. Taylor. He was in charge of developing the ARPANET, an early name for the Internet. The Internet in its early stages was a tool for simple communications and storing information and data. Today, it is more widely known for social media and other media platforms (Kahn, 1).
    The World Wide Web is the leading information retrieval for the Internet. It was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee. Some of his colleagues at CERN aided him in this development. They wanted to create a HyperText Transfer Protocol that would standardize communication between the different computers. It is used similarly today but has many improvements (Kahn 2).
    The Internet and World Wide Web are two separate programs but have similar goals. The World Wide Web is a tool to make surfing the Internet more efficient. The Internet could survive on its own, but it would take a lot longer to find the information you need. The World Wide Web narrows down to what information you are finding.
    The first website was created by Tim Berners-Lee who also created the World Wide Web. It was hosted on Berners-Lee's personal computer. The first website is still operational. It was relaunched in 2013 by CERN.

  Autoscopy Artist Statement:     I took this picture about a year ago. A butterfly landed on my shoulder and my friend and I thought it would be a great idea to take pictures with it. We tried to direct it towards our noses and it even posed for us. I was inspired to use blue butterflies in this project because the butterfly itself had blue and it would make my eyes pop more. The dark blue makes me think of night, so I also included the moon and galaxy. This ties in all of the colors and themes. I also wanted to add a cloud with a butterfly on it to continue the theme of night and dark blue butterflies. This was a very fun project and I really enjoyed it!

Logo Project

  Logo Project Sketches Black/White Draft Final Black/White Three Colored Logos Artist Statement:     I was inspired by my passion for the environment. I want to pursue a career in conservation and sustainability. I want to spread awareness, so other people can help me preserve the marine environment. The logo expresses my love for the ocean. The hands represent me taking care of the ocean. The wave is a general concept of the ocean. I wanted to have a marine animal, but I decided to use a wave to represent the ocean as a whole. I am proud of how this turned out. My favorite logo is the last one.

 BW to Color Artist Statement:      I was inspired to use a picture I took at the beach because it had a lot of details to work with. I wanted to use vibrant colors in the edited images to simulate tropical vibes. I used similar bright colors in each picture, but I changed the positions of the color to see if some colors make a difference in different parts of the image. Original: Edited:
