Desktop Graphic

To use the Microsoft Paint - One has to access the program first. On my computer I had to go to and click on the start button. Then I had to go the All Programs menu and select Accessories. From there I clicked on the Paint program (which is the word Paint) and it opened in a small window. I used the pencil tool the most! When creating a graphic using Paint the creator can use any of the tools to the left in the tool area that they want. The different colors can be chosen from the colors along the top. If a mistake is made the creator can go to edit and it will undo the last thing drawn. Be carefully it will get rid of everything that was created in that move/addition to the graphic. Example: I was trying to draw a person (silhouette) to use in the either of the two classes I teach. [One way to use it would be mark the areas that need measured to decide the right pattern size and the other way would be to use it as a silhouette of a client and then create the garment(s) in a sketch or finally drawing that allows the client to see what you (the designer has to offer.] I really messed up one leg so I undone the action and the whole silhouette was undone because I never picked up my pencil tool – so it was seen as one action. Need I say I changed my mind and created a different graphic that can be used in the principles of clothing construction class here at FSU or in the fashion design class at any high, jr high, or middle school.

The different programs I considered were Adobe Illustrator 9.1, a program called Ink that is on my tablet PC, Adobe CS4, GIMP 2.6, and Microsoft Paint. I chose the program Microsoft Paint because my other computer is in need of a good doctor and I was not able to use the Adobe Illustrator or the Ink program that is on that computer. Also the Adobe CS4 is on the computers in the FSU Library computer lab first floor and I just was not going back to campus tonight. So that left me with the choice between GIMP 2.6 that is new to me or Microsoft Paint that I have played with a little. I think I have state the bad above. As for the good about Microsoft Paint is it to me is fun (a little time consuming but fun. I really don’t think there is too many questions that came from this activity expect. Why there are so many desktop graphic programs out that are so alike and are free? It’s not like someone is getting rich on them. Or are they?

I saved my graphic as a JPEG image (.jpg) and titled it Name the Parts in Windows Photo Gallery. The size is 22.6 KB (23,179 bytes); size on disk is 24.0KB (24,576 bytes).
