Logo Word

This was a really fun and easy project! It was nice, and it taught me easy ways to make something look really cute and modern! Using just simple circles, the direct selection tool, and the scissor tool. I loved creating this, and now i have more skills to add on to my old ones, with short cuts too!!!! ( I didnt mean for that to be a pun, but i guess it could be one if you wanted it to......why am i typing this????)

Halloween Poster

This was a wonderful project!!!! I loved creating it, but i had a little trouble with the opacity masks at the end but overall it was pretty fun and wonder ful!!! I hope that we do something like this soon so, agian, thanks for letting us have the opportunity to do this!!!!

Halloween Word

Halloween! Yay! This is actually my favorite holiday of the whole year!!!!! This project was really fun but time consuming.....especially since i was absent for two days. But i pulled through and created this beautiful thing, or work of art......whatever.. I just had a really hard time with the spiderwebs...a really hard time. Actually it was really just the placing of them and the tweaking of them that was hard for me. But overall it was really fun! Thanks for allowing us (and me) to do this project!!!

Pollution Advertisement

CRAP was really fun to use!!! It helped me a lot and it made me laugh at the name also. I picked the background color blue, because it made the brown color of the dirty water drop stand out. I also made the words "industrial wastes are dumped into" looked like they were actually being "dumped" out onto the picture. Then I made the word 70% pop out because that is very important and that needs to stand out. Also i made the other important words stand out a little bit. Then i decided to make the words that seemed dirty like "wastes, or dumped" the color brown, and i made the words water blue and with light lettering. Lastly i made the words Stop The Suffering large and at the bottom so they would draw your attention. Then i got a picture of children suffering from the water crisis and clipping masked them to the words. I think it looks pretty good. I love this!!!!!!!!

Woof Project

Hey! This is now my favorite project, just because it looks so cool and awesome!!!! Yeah!!!!! I loved the look of the fur on the letters, but the fur was really problematic. I am the kind of person who loves perfection and i have no patience whatsoever.....maybe sometimes.....im still working on that. So the fur was hard since i had to draw it stroke by stroke. My favorite part though, was when i copied it, and put another layer over the black. I also made this layer smaller, and a little lighter than black, so it would look like a small shadow. That was the fun part!!! I really liked it and that was awesome!!!!

Reflections (1st Six Weeks)

I really enjoyed this past six weeks of projects. It helped me learn so much about Illustrator, when previously I had no knowledge at all. Illustrator is actually very fun and I really enjoyed working with it. My favorite tool is the pen tool, even though it can be troublesome sometimes. But it still is fun!!! I also like the gradient tool and the shape builder tool. Together they're really awesome!

The projects we also had this six weeks were also really fun! I really enjoyed the Basketball Player, the Glyph Monster, and surprisingly the Water Drop project! I know that mostly everyone else hated it, but I really liked it.....until it came time for the pathfinder tool.......yeah that wasn't very fun. But the project I disliked a lot was the flower one! I hated it because it was confusing even when I did the instructions and the stems and petals just fought with me the whole way!!!! I did learn from it though, like drop shadow!!! This is my favorite class and it will probably stay that way!!! FOREVAH!!!!!

Lyrical Typography

This was one of my favorite projects, and I really enjoyed this one. I decided to create the word candle and make it look like an actual candle, with the words "in the wind," looking like they were drifting. I then made the words "never knowing" in the shape of a question mark to give the feel of a question. the words "who to turn to" are displaced to make you feel a little confused. I then chose a light font for "when the rain" to make it look like the words were rain, and i made them small. Then for the last words "sets in" i made them dominant in the bottom corner, kind of like they were an anchor for the other words, setting them in. I personally love this song, and this work. The background is blue because of the lightness of the words.
