Sun and Clouds
This assignment was a tutorial on how to draw a sun and cloud. Here we learned how to add and subtract shapes, and put together all the skills we know to make this.
Principals of Design
The purpose of this project was to use different techniques to draw different balances and types of art. Some things that I learned was using art boards, using my layers, and properties of different balances along with the other drawings. What I found most difficult about the project was coming up with ideas to use. If I could go back I would put more detail into my drawings.
Pen Tool Project
Here we learned the baisis of the pen tool. By tracing the Unites States I learned how to use the pen tool and create paint groups to sample and fill the states. This assignment was fun and easy to catch on to which made it enjoyable.
The purpose of this project was to recreate images using our knowledge of the pen tool, and other resources to create the image. I used pen tools and paint groups to create these artworks. What I found most difficult was using the pen tool to get every little detail to make the art look good. If I was to draw these again I would spend a lot of time trying to get all the details the original image had, but I liked being able to pick any image and make them into my own drawing.
Typeface
In this assignment we took movie or book titles, and described how it made us feel based on the text. This showed us how certain fonts can affect the emotion of the the title giving the reader different perspectives. What I enjoyed about this was looking at all the different fonts and seeing how it would affect me.
In this project, I took the word "altitude" and put it in a word that defines it. So I strected it and turned the font into my own, and wrote it going up a mountain to describe the word altitude.
T-Shirt Design
The purpose of this project was for graphic designers to design a simple t-shirt for different programs. We wanted to create a simple yet eye catching design that could be used. The most difficult thing about this project was finding the right text font and placement that goes well with this assignment. Next time I would experiment more with these difficulties. But I enjoyed coming up with an idea for the shirt.
Musical Poster
The purpose of this project was to create a poster for the winter play. I took the play, "The Curious Savage" and created a poster based on the idea of the play. I put the bear in the room with money, trying to point out what this play was about. I also put the focus point on the title and the bear, making the poster for the play.
