Day in the Life of a Graphic Designer

Professional Article Critique  

In this article a graphic designer is talking about her daily life. She constantly is looking at her email (communication/collaboration) to talk to her clients about her designs. She also like to mix up her day to keep her creative juices flowing. I learned a lot about what a day as a graphic design would look like because i didn't know she seen so much time just talking to her clients about ideas and sharing files. 
I also learned that she loves the creativity and flexibility of her job which is what I am looking forward to if I do decide to go into the field of graphic design. I also think that it is very interesting that she took photography classes and art history and not a lot of technology classes.

Famous Logo Tutorial!

Google Play Logo!  This is the Google Play logo that I made with a tutorial. The logo was surprisingly easy. The most difficult part was creating the correct gradients to try and match it the best I could. Along with messing around with the opacity. I had a tom of fun making this logo and it only took me about 15 minutes to create!

Motif and Repeating Pattern

Motif and  Repeating Pattern      These are my two repeating patterns that i made for graphic design. A motif radiates from a center point while a repeating pattern can continue if you connect the two ends.        The scope of he project was to crete our own original patterns after we had done some tutorials and learned the skills. We also all voted on colors to use so that they had some form of uniformity. That taught me how to use the color books with a specific number to find the exact same shade as everyone else.        The day after I made my repeating pattern I went to the gas station and saw the same pattern in black on a door matt! I thought it was quite funny. It just showed me how patterns are just     used everywhere and that made me giggle.         I learned a lot during this project especially when i learned that making mistakes is sometimes good and thats how my moti...

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. Then i rounded the edges of the cube so that way it did not have weird tails that lost the flow of the eye making it look 3D.  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.
