adobe illustrator tutorials

I thought this video was extremly helpful, when I am learning I like to get straight to the point and then I can practice it on my own so I liked how short and consice this video was. I think the pen tool is going to be the hardest to master but I didn’t even know the curved pen tool existed so I am excited to use that one. I think the eyedropper tool that was talked about will come in handy when working on more detialed projects.

I really liked this video as well, I have an iPad pro and I really like using it with the adobe software. I liked how in this video he showed how he uses his layers and locks the sketch into the background of the work, I think that is a really good idea and is something I will be doing from now on. With the iPad things are different than on a computer my goal is to learn both of them so I can create the best work I can.

this video was a little different than the other videos, it focused on how to make your work more efficiently. I love learning new short cuts and there were a lot in here that I haven’t learned yet. I am definitely still a beginner when it comes to adobe so the more help I can get the better. The shortcuts in this video were really good the hardest part about them is just going to be remembering to use them.

brush

this assignment was very fun for me. I love taking past work and adding to it. I have never made a brush in photoshop before so that was very exciting as well. I love my logo to begin with and I love the graffiti look this project gave it. First we started by taking my logo and adding different layers to it and playing with the opacity. The most challenging part was keeping the integrity of the piece, allowing the viewer to still see what the logo is. I think I accomplished this. By having multiple layers it really makes the piece look authentic like it is actually a piece of graffiti. This is my logo made into a brush, with black and white, and then took the brush and created a pattern. I really like how bright and different this work ended up being compared to my other work. I haven't really done that much work in photoshop and I really liked it. It's hard for me to break out from the norm, but I enjoyed the challenge.

final portfolio

This is my final portfolio. I really like using indesign so I really enjoyed putting this together. Like I have said in other blog posts I like indesign so much because of how organized it is. Indesign just makes sense in my head. I really like how this project came out, I thought it was cool to see my progression through out the year. I also really like how the theme is cohesive throughout the whole project. For my color scheme I took colors from adobe.color.com they had so many to pick from. I went with a muted color pallet so my work could really shine through. I also really like the font I picked I think it is fun and pretty easy to read.

color logos

these are my first color logos, I wanted to go for a monochromatic look overall, and I think I achieved my vision. The colors I chose all go together and are relatively similar to my natural hair color. I have always wanted to have pink hair so that's why I chose pink for the top design. I really like how it came out, and I think it could be used for a lot of different logos. These logos are my favorite things I have ever made digitally. My curly hair is my favorite thing about myself so I loved showing that through my art. First I took down a lot of sketches on paper and then started to filter out the ones I didn't like and the last one I chose was very similar to this. I used my iPad again with the illustrator app to create these pieces. By using the pen I got a lot of control with all the curves and tiny details. I love using the apple pencil in my work. When creating these I made a bunch of layers and keep taking them away to see which ones worked the best. I love using la...
