Photoshop starter project

Today we started photoshop, photoshop is different then illustrator because in photoshop you have to work in layers, also in illustrator you are starting from scratch and photoshop is more like photo editing. I learned that you can create several layers in photos shop of the same image and if you mess up on the first try you can delete it and tie the original and make a copy to try again. I also learned that photoshop is less forgiving when you mess up. Also I learned that i like illistrtaor a lot better.

Orthogonal Cube

In illustrator we made orthogonal cubes. We watched a tutorial on Lynda.com to figure out how to make all of the sides equal. We had to copy and paste the three main lines and copied them several times to finish off the cube. Then we added color to the cube to give it depth/perception. The darker colors make it look farther behind and the lighter shades make it come forward.

This was a challenge for me because there was so many steps to do to make it look accurate. However the end result was with it, because it looked really awesome and it's cool to say that I made this from scratch.

Famous Logo Tutorial!

I had a tom of fun making this logo and it only took me about 15 minutes to create!

Semester 1 Reflection

Name Typography: As the year started, we received a name typography project. The goal of the project was to take our name and turn the typography into something that would reveal some of our personal interests. For example, I personally enjoy jewelry so I made Abigail appear like it was written with pearls. This project took around three weeks from the first of the school year. I struggled with reaching out of my comfort zone coming into junior year. This helped me learn that it is okay to have multiple ideas and that not all of them will work out the way that you planned. I was critiqued mainly on taking some of the concepts too literally instead of pushing them outside of the box. I changed several of them by going all out with some of the ideas that I had started. Making my ideas stand out really helped make my concepts stand out on the page. I really enjoyed tis project because it refreshed my memory on how to use Illus...
