Web 3.0

With the amount of user integration and people being "plugged" into the internet from morning to night, Web 3.0 can be frightening to think about. In my opinion, with the integration of Web 3.0 people around the world will be constantly connected to the internet. According to Wikipedia, Web 3.0 will also be the return of experts to the internet. This will reduce the amount of user added information on user interfaces and once again make information on the internet respectable and trustworthy.

I also believe that the amount of information of users on the web will increase drastically. This can make the web more personable and directed towards specific users. For example, the internet's knowledge of users can select the perfect vacation package for someone searching for this type of information. However, this can also be negative for users in Web 3.0. Privacy for users will decrease drastically as marketers are sure to increase their knowledge of user activity. Wikipedia also depicts that most of the information on the web will be computer generated through artificial intelligence. This is a very futuristic belief, and can be frightening to think about.

For my Illustrator Project, I chose to make a logo for the innovative product the Cooper Cooler. I wanted to keep the logo simple and rather professional to be more realistic. I used various fonts and effects such as the Crystallize and Wrinkle tool for the lettering. I also input a picture of the Cooper Cooler itself. I transformed the photo by changing the colors to match the lettering. I also inverted the picture to make it more appealing to the eye.
