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!   

Creative Anarchy         Basically creative anarchy is learning when, and when not to break/bend the rules. The main point of this article was in order to bend or break the rules you have to know what they are. This reminds me of my english teacher who always justifys an authors reason to breaking grammar rules because they know how to use them perfectly and the broken rule they used adds affect to their writing. However the reason we cannot break the rules is because we do not know how to use them perfectly. we are simply just learning them. This just adds to the fact that we as graphic design students cannot break the rules whenever we want them because we don't even know whether are rules or not.       Without the rules how are we supposed to satisfy the very old fashioned clients that want a classic design with nothing exotic or inventive because it isn't needed to fit into the environment it will be put into. A great design is supposed to fit...

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...

Animation Article Review  Article       In this article they explain how google is now entering a way to render 3D animation faster called Zync. It is a cloud solution, it is live in beta and anyone who registers for an account can receive $300 worth of google Platform credit which is used for Zync rendering. They are trying to promote the launch of Zync through the Render More site where artists can get and extra $500 Google platform credit by filling out a form.     Within the article the author uses videos to help illustrate their cause about the new google Zync. However in the actual text part of the article they lacked some explaining points of how Zync is more beneficial and useful then other ways to render 3D animation.     Although in this article the author has some very nice evidence within the videos to prove her points about Zync. I did wish they explained a little bit more about the form that was necessary to fill out to...

My Repeat Heading! This is  my repeat pattern that I made to go on the ceiling of my graphic design room. My graphic design teacher , Mrs. Lofquist, calls our room the ISS room because there isn't very much color and it is very boring to just look at. So we have took on the task to make the room more  vibrant and exciting!  The patterns that we make are going onto the ceiling tiles. They will be printed onto some sturdy paper then placed under the tiles to add an interesting factor. to the room.   - Abbygail <3

Professional Article Critique   Blog post      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.   - Abbygail <3
