Pencils and rain!

I really think these reflects how i feel in my mind sometimes. I may feel clouded and sad at times, but i have an umbrella and i feel unique, then the sun lights up my brain  My 3 big take-aways are that; 1. I know how to utilize the live paint bucket tool 2. I learned the differences between the gradient tool in photoshop and the one in illustrator, and how to use it 3. I learned very useful shortcuts, such as option-click to clone, and v for the select tool, and command-G to group, etc., etc.

What is graphic design?

Graphic design is a mode of artistic expression, and advertisement. Graphic design is something to channel out what I'm thinking about, and just something fun to do in free time! Graphic design is mostly used for advertising your product and try to get people to buy it. You try to make someone feel something, something that will make them want to buy it, to comfort themselves. Graphic design is the perfect outlet for creative thoughts.

Color wheel

 

For this project i was still learning the fundamentals and basic tools of illustrator, like the cursor, and how to use the polygon tool and how to make an oval into a circle, and how to make a hexagon into a triangle. The most important part was the colors, of course! I learned the importance of colors, and how to fill and stroke are different! This was a great introduction project for Illustrator, I'm really excited to use it throughout the year!
