Illustrator HW1

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GzumUieDPY

This video is simplistic and form and shows the basics of using Illustrator. It teaches the viewer about things like how to use layers, hiding and locking them. Something I learned is that pressing M on the keyboard brings up the rectangle tool. Also, hitting up and down on the keyboard makes your shape either smaller or larger. Another thing I learned it that the bracket keys control the size of your brush tool.

A reminder I learned from this video is that if you're every missing anything on your right hand panel you can simply just go to the windows tab, click on it, and it will appear on the right side of your screen. Another thing I learned is that if you want a a basic set of colors that go well together you can click the color guide and it provide you with a recommended set of colors that match.

Something I learned from this video is that if you want to have an image appear over another one, or there's text you want to put over an image. All you have to do is right click and either hit move to front or move to back. A way to make perfect shapes is to select a shape and hold down the shift key while your sizing it, it will create proportionate shapes.

Autoscopy

      The autoscopy project turned out being a lot of fun to create. I like how we had to incorporate more than just two pictures into our work. I've recently watched a few shows that had to do with exploration and space so I took a lot of inspiration from those and wanted create something within that realm.     I chose a few images that would help me accomplish my goal. The background is a picture of a road within a forest used to show earth. I then replaced the sunny sky with a picture of the stars to show where I was heading to. After that I placed added a picture of myself. I stood in that position to try and emulate what a spaceship looks like. After, I used a picture of a rocket taking off to show the trusters at full power, blasting me into space. Lastly, I added a picture of code on a low opacity because going into space takes a lot of coding and calculations.  Overall, this project tested my abilities but I'm happy the way it turned out.  Orig...

Somewhere

       Step Brothers is one of my all time favorite movies and debut of Prestige Worldwide has to be one of the funniest movie clips of all time. From boats n hoes to crashing their dads sailboat it’s a classic.   Using Adobe Illustrator I put myself in between Dale and Brennan in their performance of boats n hoes. It was a little tricky to color match the image of myself with the slightly blurry image of the scene that I could find off the internet.  I started by layering myself into the picture with my original image. I then added different hues and saturations to match myself to the colors of the scene. The hardest part of this project for me was having my pants cut off where the table is. I don't know why it was so difficult for me but I eventually figured it out. This was by far my favorite project we did because of the freedom we were given to pick any movie or show we wanted. Overall, I think this was the best project I created in class. Original Cli...

Business Cards

Image
    These are the three business cards I came up with. I had a really difficult time creating these because of placing the tag brush. I used simple colors because I did not want to take away or distract from my contact information places on the cards. I wanted to keep the business cards pretty basic because most of the cards I have gotten in the real world were pretty basic so I decided to stick with that methodology. On the cards I added my tag brush, name, number, email, and blog website.
