Creating A Vector Image Light Bulb

Follow the link below to a tutorial outlining how to create a light bulb in Inkscape. Create the image and post it on your blog. (if you think the light bulb is too easy you could choose from more challenging tutorial at this site: http://speckyboy.com/2009/04/28/35-tutorials-to-create-amazing-vector-graphics-using-inkscape/ )

 I have just finished creating the light bulb on inkscape.. although it looks very different to the real image i think it was a great first try.

Inkscape

Today i just finished the Drawing tools in Word and Paint. Last lesson we looked at inkscape and we were shown how to do animation in inkscape.

We were shown how to :

- Make the canvas bigger

- changing the paint and bristle colour

- create a picture

- animated dog





Ginger bread man : MICROSOFT WORD

Some of the shapes i used were:

1. Cylinder
2. traingle
3. rectangle
4. circle
5. lines

Colours i used:

1. Red
2. blue
3. dark blue

Draw VS Paint

- Drawing programs create images composed of objects ( EG: squares, circles, shapes, ECT). 

-The objects can have properties such as colour, line thickness. These objects can easily be edited.

- Drawing programs create vector files.

- Paint programs create images pixal by pixal.

- Paint imagers are very hard to edit. Must be edited pixal by pixal.

- Files paint create are called bitmapped files.

-Example of a drawing program : Word

- Example of a paint program : Inkscape

Meanings

Dpi- DPI (dots per inch) is probably the most familiar and most misused measure of resolution.  

Jpeg- JPEG is a commonly used method of compressing photographic images. 

Mirrow-  

Resolution-Refers to the sharpness and clarity of an image 

Bmp-The BMP file format, sometimes called bitmap or DIB file format (for device-independent bitmap), is an image file format used to store bitmap digital images 

Fps-Frame rate, or frame frequency, is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to computer graphics, video cameras, film cameras. 

File extension-A filename extension is a suffix to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention (file format) of its contents. 

compression-Dynamic range compression, also called DRC (often seen in DVD and car CD player settings) or simply compression, is a process that reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal, that is, narrows the difference between high and low audio levels or volumes 

Flip-interchange: reverse 

Morph-cause to change shape in a computer animation; 

Frame buffer-The final digital storage area for the image shown by a computer display. Software causes an image to appear onscreen by loading it into the frame buffer 

Video card-This component is used to transfer data to your monitor so that it can be displayed. 

Cpu-central processing unit: (computer science) the part of a computer (a microprocessor chip) that does most of the data processing; 

Colour depth-Color depth or bit depth, is a computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image or video frame buffer.
