Office Space


We have spent quite a bit of time as a group researching output devices. It is really amazing to begin to see all of the different ways printers have evolved and all of the different forms that they have evolved into. We also know the great frustration we have with a printer that is not working properly. For all the great advancements in printing technology, both 2D and 3D, there is always room for improvement. The final scene in "Office Space," I believe, encompasses this.

Illustrator: the Path to Greatness

Illustrator was originally introduced by Apple Macintosh in 1986 as a commercial version of Adobe's private font development. The program was initially geared toward typesetting and logo design. The first Windows version was introduced in 1989 as Illustrator 2.0. Illustrator is the sister program of Photoshop, yet its graphic advantages are in its ability to work with vector based graphics.
