Digital Media Design

This is the menu of the Windows Paint Program

A great way to begin to learn and develop skills in design is to Play. To play is to doodle. Draw random things just for fun. Think like a child, play. A great software program to learn how to play is the basic Windows paint program. This is a great program to start designing on because it has basic drawing tools and limited colors.

The windows paint program is a bitmap program. The artwork is created out of tiny dots called pixels. Each dot can be a different color. If you take a basic drawing done in the Paint program and zoomed in you would see all the pixels that make up the image.
