SOFTWARE USED FOR

DIGITAL ART/ GRAPHIC

DESIGN APPLICATION
1. Photo and graphics editing programs are
used for drawing, painting, typing text and
touching. Photographs can e edited and
retouched by adjusting the lighting, vibrance,
contrast, and color balance. There are filters
and effects that can be added to a photo. You
also use this software to add text and other
designs to a drawing or picture.
2. Vector graphics editor allow you to create and
edit vector graphics. A vector graphic is a
computer image made up of points, lines,
corners, and shapes that can be digitally
manipulated, rotated, and proportionally scaled
to produce a desired outcome. This type of
editing software is more suitable and effective
for creating typography, logo designs, and
illustration with sharp edges such ascartoons
and clip art images.
3. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of
computer systems to assist in the creation,
modification, analysis, or optimization of a
design. CAD software is used to increase the
productivity of the designer, improve the quality
of design, improve communication through
documentation, and to create a databased for
manufacturing. CAD output is often in the form
of electronic files for printing, machining, or
other manufacturing operations.
4. Diagramming software is a computer program
that is used to produce graphical diagrams.
Among other uses, such diagrams are often used
in software and technical development and
business to represent dataflows, workflows,
software architecture, and organizational charts.
5. Desktop publishing software are used to
create posters, flyers, rochures, magazines,
newspapers, and books. Graphic designers and
productions artists are the principal users of this
type of software for laying out publications,
posters, and other print media.
6. 3D Software are used to create three-
dimensional images usually for use in video
games, animation, and videos or films requiring
visual effects. They are also used in architecture
to create digital models of planned structures.
Open source software or freeware are software
that can e downloded over the internet and
used free of charge.
Some open-source software used for creating
digital art include the following:
1. GIMP- used for image retouching and editing
2. Inkscape – an open source vector graphics
editor.
3. Blender – used for creating animation, 3D,
and other visual effects.
Parts of blender.
1. Editor is a part of the screen, which has specific function
( 3D view, Properties editor, video sequence editor and
node editor).
2. Context bottons gives access to options. These are like tabs
and often place on an editor header.
3. Panels are options that are grouped to logically organize
the interface.
4. Regions are included in some editors. In that case, panels
and controls are grouped there. For workspace optimization, it
is possible to temporarily hide regions with the hotkeys and for
the toolbar and Properties Region respectively.
5. Controls are contained in the panels. These can let you
modify a function an option or a value.

How to Make Easy Gift Bags
Read all of the steps before starting.

Step 1: Determine Size

Look at the gift you want to wrap and estimate the size of the bag you will need. You can do this by
drawing a rectangle around the gift on a piece of scrap paper and then measuring the gift's height.
Stack books until the side of the book stack is the size of the rectangle you drew or larger. You may
need to make two or more stacks of books side-by-side if your gift is large.
This stack of books will be used as a form to create the bag. You can also use a box or a stack of
boxes as a form.
Step 2: Cut Wrapping Paper

Cut a sheet of wrapping paper to use in making the bag. In one direction, the paper should be the
desired height of the bag plus 3/4 of the bag's depth, plus 1 inch extra (2 cm). In other words, the
paper measurements should be the height of the bag plus enough paper to fold over the end of
the stack of books, plus 1 inch. In the other direction, the paper should wrap around the stack of
books, with 1/2 inch extra (1 cm) for overlap.
Step 3: Fold Top Edge

Place the wrapping paper right side down. Fold back 1 inch (2 cm) along the top edge, crease,
and glue in place.
Step 4: Books on Paper

With the wrapping paper right side down, place the stack of books in the center of the paper near
the bottom edge. Be sure that the stack sits above the bottom edge by about 3/4 of the stack's
height.
Step 5: Wrap and Glue
Wrap the paper around the stack and secure the seam with glue or tape. Be sure that the top
edge meets evenly at the seam.
Be careful not to wrap too tightly, or it will be difficult to remove the stack of books
from the bag.
Step 6: Form Bag's Base
Make the bag's base by folding the paper over one end of the stack of books like you are
wrapping a box. Run your fingers down each edge of the stack to crease the bag's corners.
Remove the stack of books from the bag.

Step 7: Fold Gusset (optional)
To make gusseted (pleated) sides on the bag, pinch the sides of the bag together and crease
down the middle of the side. Do this on both sides of the bag.
You may also fold the bottom of the bag up and crease it flat—like a grocery bag. This will
allow the bag to be stored flat.
Step 8: Finishing Touches (optional)
Make the bag stronger by reinforcing the bottom with a piece of cardboard cut to size and placed
in the bottom of the bag.
To add a ribbon to tie the bag closed, punch two holes in the top of the bag, while holding
thefront and the back together. Thread ribbon through the holes. Make the holes stronger by
adding notebook reinforcing rings.

If you used solid-colored wrapping paper, you may want to decorate the bag. You can color it,
stamp it, or apply paper cuts. Make your own paper cuts, or print one of these Scottie dog or
flower appliqué sheets. For more paper cut sheets and how to use them
