My name

This is my Name in Illustrator, I used a quick, easy, beginners tutorial on how to make your name have the look of a shadow. You can now make any word look like it's on a modern billboard!

Personal piece

This is my personal project. To make this i used a tutorial on how to make pixel art in illustrator, all you do is make a shape, then a grid, then you enable the live paint bucket tool, and fill in each square with a color. This one is pretty basic and not all that high in resolution, this is about the resolution of an old arcade game, like pac-man. I really like pixel art, and how interesting.

Google Logo

This logo is Google's newest, and most recent logo. As you can see it is simplistic, like most logo's today. The colors are simple, and it brings a modern touch to a traditional feeling. the old google logo had a shadow, and a point of light, this one does not have those, this one only has pure, simple colors. They still kept the general shape, but didn't have the general exclamation of the original google logo. This logo was inspired by the trending look of simplicity.

My Typeface Archer Hairline

Emotional, understated, progressive, disciplined, these are the 4 words that describe me and my font. Archer Hairline is simple, understated, and still it's flashy and graceful. It looks like it's used in elementary schools for small children practicing their first letters. I think this font emphasizes new beginnings, and celebrates youth. I think this express' me because I'm very emotional, but I stick to the rules, and make sure I do what I need to, and finish on time!

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!
