Some of my Puppet warp is a tool that can be found in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Puppet warp is similar to the warp tool that you would use during free transform, but it goes much further than that. It allows you to place anchor points and stretch, move, and twist parts of the image. Imagine a teddy bear. You can move his arms, legs, and head to put him in different positions. Puppet warp is exactly the same thing but on Photoshop and Illustrator. Puppet warp is one of those tools than is right on the line between 2D and 3D art. When you think about Photoshop and Illustrator, you think of a digital "paper" where you can do everything you can do on a real paper on a computer. However, you cannot stretch a paper out while keeping the same layout and orientation, so I think it is interesting that Adobe included this feature in their software. Puppet warp and perspective grid are pushing the boundaries of 2D graphics in a good way.

Shape builder tool is a tool that has three different modes that are used for different situations. The first mode is called Merge where you can turn overlapping shapes into a single shape. You have to click and hold on the shape to make it merge. The second mode is called Extract and it allows you to extract part of a shape from a larger shape. The third mode is called Erase where you can erase entire parts of a shape by holding down the Alt key and clicking on the shape you want to delete. If you have a stroke around your two images when you merge or extract them, the shape builder tool will fix your stroke for you to outline the complete shape instead of just one. In conclusion, the shape builder tool builds on to the shaper tool and the shape tool in a unique way that enhances your creativity.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a pretty long name so I will refer to it as PUBG for short. In PUBG, 100 players parachute off of a plane into different locations on one large island. The player has no weapons when he or she lands so they have to loot the villages and towns for weapons, armor, and vehicles. As the game progresses, there will be a big storm that slowly closes in on a circle every 2 minutes. Every time the storm starts moving, the safe zone will be even smaller forcing more players to get eliminated until the last person standing wins. This game was probably the biggest release of 2017 with over 20 million copies sold. This is not the first battle royale shooter title however; the director of the game worked on another battle royale game called H1Z1 that released September 2016. PUBG is still in early access and has many problems:
Dodge and burn are two tools that are available to you in Photoshop. The Dodge tool works similar to a brush but instead of placing a specified color, it lightens the colors that it is used on. On the other hand, the burn tool is used to darken the colors it is used on. These tools lighten or darken the whole radius of the brush and can alter many colors at once as long as they are in the radius. Dodging and burning as it's called actually doesn't originate from Photoshop. Dodging and burning is based on a traditional dark room technique that many photographers used on print photography. The photographers would hide the photo from light ("dodge" the light) or intentionally expose it to light to leave a dark spot ("burn" the image). With this traditional method you could carefully regulate exposure to each part of the photograph. Proper use of this technique is what separated the amateurs from the professionals.
