Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Izabella and now I'm going to show you how to create your own robot avatar. For this purpose you can use programs for example like Paint Brush, Coral Draw or Photoshop. If you create an avatar for yourself you can use it for example as an online profile. To learn how to create your own fun avatars, you can start for example with a robot avatar because it's easy to create and it takes no real technical expertise. The easiest way for doing avatars is Paint Brush. If you go to start menu. In all programs, you select accessories, and here you select paint and click on it. Now let's make a new project that is one inch by one inch. If you go to Image and you select attributes, you can modify the width and the height of the paper on which you are working. You can select the units for inches, centimeters or pixels. Now we need for example one to one inches. Okay, lets select my modifier too, and let's make this paper six times bigger. Now it will be easier to work with it. Okay, let's start to create our small robot. Here's the head. Lets make a small neck. Okay, here is the body of the robot. Let's make the leg. Okay, if you would like to make it easier, select the leg, or select the item which you would like to copy, do a copy/paste or push the buttons control c and control v. Now it disappears here, but we need the leg to the opposite direction so we go to image, flip and drop It and then flip it horizontal. Okay, now we have the leg. We put it here and we just simply draw some arms for our small robot. And with this paint brush too let's make for example blue eyes and let's make him smile. And let's make him some buttons. Well, here we are. If you go back with the magnifier, you just have to click on this white surface once and you will return without zoom... which you can go file and save if you would like."
