Wikipedia Follow Up

I checked my wikipedia entry again. It has been a little over a week since I last checked it, but, it is still not there. I'm pretty sure it was taken down for good. Since I added the same information twice I am worried that trying a third time might set them over the edge. I wonder if I tried adding it every day if I would somehow get blocked out of wikipdia, or if they would send me a message. But, for now I guess I'll just settle for knowing that wikipdia doesn't consider my dog a noteworthy resident of Keene, NH.

Final Illustrator Ad

Here is my final Burger King Ad. To make this I took my own picture of a french fry. At the time I only had sweet potato fries, so I took a bunch of pictures of those. I had to put the images in photoshop and rework the color to make it look yellow, and not orange. Then, I used the magic wand tool to cut out the image of the fry. Next, I put the fry image into Illustrator and began to resize it and make it look longer instead of short and fat. I used the paint tool in Illustrator to create the ketchup at the end of the fry. Then I used the "Effects" menu to make the ketchup look grainy. I used the "Warp" tool to mess with the texture and shape of the ketchup.To make the Burger King logo I used the skills we learned in class after watching the surf board demonstration; the path finder and shaping tool.I tried to mirror the fonts of the text as best I could.





























For some reason my image looks squished. In the jpeg I saved it as it looks normal, but when I post it online it looks messed up. I'm not sure why this is.
