Anticipation

Last Day

We were expected to use symbolism and minimalism in order to visually show an emotion or human feeling in Adobe Illustrator. My human feeling was "anticipation." Anticipation can be positive or negative, but it's basically a mixture of being nervous, excited, or even anxious. I chose to create a "runner" at the starting line, because they're practically ready, but they're anxiously waiting for the signal for the race to begin. I tried to show that they were either nervous or anxious by adding drops of sweat, a breath to show that they were exhaling uneasily, and lines to show that their leg is shaking. One example of repetition is when I copied the sweat in order to show that the runner was nervous. I made the runner a heart, in order to emphasize the fact that your heart usually races when you're anticipating something. My final design resembles my second sketch because of the basic idea of the sketch.

Last Day

 In this project, we had to take a picture of a setting and place an object that we created into the photo. The requirements for this project were that we had to make only one object (multiple copies are allowed), the object had to look as realistic as possible, it had to be done in Adobe Illustrator, and the object had to be something not normally found in that setting. For my project, I chose to put books inside a refrigerator. In my project, I used texture in order to make the books look more realistic, and gradation on the books to create a realistic setting, in terms of lighting. I would say that my project does not accurately depict my second sketch, because I realized after creating my sketch that we were only able to make one object.

Tessellation Project

Last Day

Day One

Day Two

We were required to create our very own tessellation in Adobe Illustrator, using the same technique and tools as the color wheel project. My final product is a "snowflake" shape tessellation, with various colors and lines which almost resemble webs. I chose blue and orange as my main colors because i like both colors, and they compliment each other. I used repetition when I copied the lines and eventually the whole triangular design multiple times to fill in the shape of the "snowflake". I would say that my final product accurately resembles my second sketch.

Color Wheel

Color Wheel

We had one day to complete this assignment. In this assignment, we were required to create a color wheel using the live paint bucket tool in Adobe Illustrator. I used color to fill in the color wheel, and repetition when I copied the lines in the larger circle and and triangle. Fortunately, we were not required to make a sketch for this project.

My Logo

Day One

Last Day

Day Two

We were expected to produce a logo in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, in order to watermark our future projects. My final product is basically a circle with my initials and blogger site. In my logo, I included a few things that I enjoy doing. I used color to add contrast and to create balance. The shape of my final design does accurately depict my sketch, but as far as the details (my hobbies: trumpet, music, etc) were not included in my sketch.
