Splat_Project

One of the tools I used was the Rotate tool which i used to slightly rotate the letters. The easiest part of the project was using the 3D tool to make the letters look nice. The hardest part was making the letters look nice. I think I could have made the image look even better still if i would have gone more in dept to it's meaning.

Overall this project was semi-hard not because of the elements in it but the time used on it. The tools I used were the Gradient Mesh tool to create my awesome background. I also used the direct selection tool to make two columns of light blue while keeping everything else straight. I used the color blue because, that's my second favorite color; I also used the color gray because it adds emphasis on the whole image; lastly i used light blue for the columns so I could put the words I wanted to stand out near it. I used colors on certain words to make them stand out just like I also made them bigger and, used a different font. The easiest part of the project for me was color coding the words that I liked the most. The hardest part of the project was making the columns because, the light blue color kept turning gray and the made me mad. Finally if i could do anything to improve this project other then adding more time for me to get it done it would be using a few more words.

Snowboarder

One tool used to create this magnificent project was the rectangle tool which was used to make the border of the image along with the rounded rectangle tool. The easiest part was live tracing the snowboarder which was simple and easy to do. The hardest part for me was using the radial gradient because i couldn't figure out where the color options were within the gradient tool.

One of the tools used was the Gradient Mesh tool which makes rows and columns. Another tool was the Direct selection tool which was used to select mulitple object like the dots on the rows and columns. The easiest part of the project was using the Gradient Mesh tool because, it is simple to use. The hardest part of the project was making the petals of the flowers because, they took me forever to make.

Basket_Ball_Boy

 This is the outcome of the Adobe Illustrator tutorial. During this tutorial I learned how to use the Shape Shifter Tool which separates over lapping parts of drawings. I also learned to use the Knife tool which cuts off a part of a drawing and allows you to use the part that you want to use. The hardest part of the basket-ball boy was using all the commands to create him. The easiest part was putting everything together in the end.

Personal sign Project

The easiest part of the poster was the border lines. The hardest part was the shield. I think if I would've had more time I could have done a better job.

The necessary steps to use an external image as a template in Adobe Illustrator is to create a new document and put all the right settings. Then you click on file and click on place; search for the picture you want to place and click it once then, UN-check Link and check template. Lastly click okay.

One technique I used was the Brush Pattern technique to create the light bulbs around the sign. Another technique I used was the effect transform transform technique to create the circle for the sign. The easiest  part of the assignment was creating the border of the sign itself as it was just a simple page. The hardest part about the project was making the Brush Pattern because, I could not find the Brush panel.
