Day nine at the internship at Grace Baptist Church was three hours, which is from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Daniel is on vacation to Florida from the 17th to the 22nd. Today I had to work on my artwork at home. Daniel wanted me to think about what kind of Autism Speaks social media artwork he can post for Autism Awareness next year. I made three sketch ideas of what the artwork should look like. The first sketch idea was to have hands piling up on one another and that one of those hands made out of puzzle pieces. The second idea was tree-shaped hands with puzzle pieces as the leaves. The third sketch idea was having the grass with plants with puzzles as leaves and the sun made out of puzzle pieces. I decided to go for the second sketch idea for the project. I tried to use Vectr at first, but then I saw that it does not color very well. I used the Adobe Spark app for my artwork instead. I used google to search for images that I could use in Adobe Spark. I chose a light blue for the background layer. I learned how to get rid of the adobe spark logo that usually appears in the bottom right corner of the background layer. I used a cropping app called Superimpose+ to crop pieces of google images that make the artwork look similar to my sketch idea. I had to be careful cropping and erasing the extra bits of the background so I can download them to my files. I cropped four hands that are yellow, blue, purple, and red colors for the tree's trunk. I had to crop red, yellow, and blue puzzle pieces for the tree's leaves and used the same puzzle pieces more than once but in different angles. I even had some puzzle pieces not attached to a finger to make the hand tree look interesting. For the text "Autism Awareness Month" I used an Economica font and colored it red. It took a long time to put all the images together because I had to make sure the hands are facing the right way. Also, the puzzles take a while to get to the size right without cropping part of the puzzles' areas out. I stopped for day nine with three hours and twenty-eight minutes, with a total of twenty-six hours and forty-five minutes.
