Final

I used many tools on this Final Exam such as the Gradient tool, shapes tool, shape builder tool and many tools we went over in class. The hardest part was very easy to most people and that was the letter because I was rushing I had to improvise. In all this project helped me how to use many tools to make a good image possible.

Christmas

Christmas

   I chose this tutorial to help me create a Christmas themed project picture to help give holiday spirit. This project used the symbol tool pathfinder and roughing with a little of twists in turns in the whole project. I also used pen and typography to also go in the spirit of things.

Pattern & Logo

   

Pattern & Logo

    I used this pattern for a robotic look to it for selling my packaging product. The pattern look good for a robot company. The pattern fits well and I like the fact that it is in computer language. (Binary Code) For my Company logo I used also a robotic theme to help portray that it is selling a robot.

Personal Logo

Personal Logo

   The hardest part of the personal project logo was the designing of logo itself. The easiest part of the project was to think of the spokes man. The typography in both are suppose to be cartoony and serious. In all this project has showed me how to be a graphic designer and help me become one.

Farm Insurance Logo Project

Farm Insurance Logo Project

  The Farmers Insurance logo design project was an easy one. The hardest part was looking for and writing down notes about Farmers Insurance and its opponents. The easiest thing in the project was designing the logo it self with the help of my notes it made it way easier to know what to do. I used many tools in this project I know how to use so far and ones I've known how to use. In all this project has taught me what it takes and how long it takes to create a logo.

Splat Project

Splat Project

  During the splat project the hardest part was designing the adding of the splattered paint. The techniques I used where using the 3d tool and the other effects to create a 3d image. The easiest part was making the splattered objects a symbol and positioning it to look like it is on a surface. In all this project was a lot of fun and wish to use the 3d tool again.

Vector Effect Project

Vector Effect Project

  The Snowboard Vector project was an easy project, though we did use tools I didn't know about. The tools we used in the project where, the granite tool, Spray tool, Symbol tool, and so on. In all this project wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and was pretty easy.

Lily Pad Project

Lily Pad Project

The Lily Pad Projects hardest step was the one with the blending, due to it was new to me I had trouble understanding it and it confused me more than once. We used many tools in this project the Blend Tool, Mesh Gradient Tool, Opacity Tool, Pen Tool, ect. The easiest part of the project was the blending of the background, at first it was confusing but when I figured it out it was very easy. In all this project was a new learning experience and took skill and concentration to finish.

Thomas Basketball Player

Basketball Player Project

   Designing this character from the tutorial was not as challenging as it may appear, but some of it was like the basket ball and the positioning of the eyes and nose. The easiest part was mostly every thing else besides the tools that where used. Following all the steps I had to do to finish this project was challenging, The Knife tool, the Shape builder, and the clipping mask where all new to me making it challenging. This project helped me understand more about using shapes, tools, and other Accessories. This project was easy and fun and I enjoyed the time we had on it.

Sign Project

The hardest part was the hair and eyes.

   Steps to using the pattern brush and how to use it are, first you create the shape you want as a pattern and then go to Window>Brush then select the shape of what you want to be a brush and drag it into the Brush Panel and then it is a brush.

Pen Tool Sign Project

Pen Tool Sign Project

    The most challenging part of this assignment was the part with the WELCOME sign trying to get it straight and correctly spaced. I used what was given to me to finish the project but I did use one technique I use in Animation drawing with the anchor points, I couldn't get it correct so I had to improvise. But I did do it correctly and it does look like a replica of the sign. The easiest part was doing the light bulbs even though I had to redo it twice.

Using a color scheme makes the person who is reading it ether, easy to read, to draw attention, to fit its meaning and emotion. My color scheme was to ketch an eye on what the quote was and making it bold and correct by its importance by using the main colors RGB.

Typography Test/Project

Typography Test/Project

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

-Albert Einstein

   I chose this quote because, Albert Einstein is one of my all time hero from inventing and how he saw things, and also of its meaning to me. The meaning of this quote to me is if you do the same thing over and over again like I sometimes do trying to get a different result when it is exactly the same is something I do all the time and I find it funny for being like that. I picked the color because not only to color code the different fonts but to also show the different kind of things that would go along with it since Albert Einstein is a famous scientist he should have the main colors RGB to symbolize his quotes. I guess I find my self insane at points I have done a problem over and over and finding out that the answer was right in front of me and making me feel stupid for not noticing sooner. Albert Einstein is one of my all time hero's so his quotes mean and have a better understanding to me.

On my Glyph Monster I chose a wasp and I struggled the hardest with the wings and legs, because of the angle it was very hard to piece it together correctly. All the shapes and tools used in the photo are all Glyphs/Letters and was used on Adobe Illustrator.

When picking what type to use it must be appropriate to what you are typing, business letter is being formal, party is decorative, also it is important you can read the text so you can know what it is saying.

Ethics means the principals on how and what to do properly in order to get something done right. Ethics are a key role in Graphic Design and Illustration because as Graphic Designers we must follow rules and ethics to get something done correctly and how we do it. Without ethics it would be very hard to design on what the person wants as a design.
