First Assignment Lesson!

Last lesson, we all got our photographs Mr Andrews took and worked on them today. I was still brainstorming what to do for my character and decided to start my character profile I will later upload. In addition, Mr Andrews taught us a new tool called: Quick Selection Tool. This will be very handy during my assignment and it is a better tool for selection than the lasso tool and the magic wand.

What Is An Avatar?

An Avatar is an icon or figure representing a person in a computer game or on the internet. This definition can be used for avatar sites, such as Moshi Monsters, Club Penguin or the Sims. Another example of an avatar, can be from the movie avatar. Avatars are a mythical creature in the movie, that humans can turn into using specialised computers. These two examples are very similar but the blue avatars are much more complex.
