Tri-Fold Pamphlet

Stencil Project

• This project was about parodying a company"s logo and turing it into a stencil so we could spray paint it onto cardboard.
• Creating the artwork in Adobe Illustrator was fairly easy for me.
• Cutting my design out was difficult because it had a complicated structure.
• Next time I would make a simpler design.
• I used adobe illustrator to create the design, am X-acto knife to cut it out and spray paint to paint it onto cardboard.
• If I ever need to spray paint another design in the future I will know an easy way to do so.

Sculptris Problem

• This project was about using Sculptris to create a complex creature.
• It was easy drawing the creatures' details. 
• Creating the creatures' arms, fingers, legs and toes was hard.
• I think I would make a less humanoid creature next time.
• I used Sculptris to create the creature.
• If i ever need to design a 3D model outside of the class I will use this.

Alternate Gig Posters

Gig Poster

Reflection

• We were supposed to create a band poster centered around an event.
• It was easy to find and include the information about the event.
• It was difficult to outline and color the heads to make them resemble what they should.
• Next time i think Id change the back round and make it a bit more complex without drawing too much attention
• I used the pen tool to create outlines and the paint tool to fill them with color.
• If i ever need to create a gig poster, i will have a good idea on how to do so.

Previous Skateboard Designs

Skateboard Deck

Reflection

• This project is about designing a skateboard deck using adobe illustrator
• The pen tool worked well for me, i didn't have any problems with it
• Getting the layers to match up color wise was a challenge for me
• I think I will pick more complicated designs (besides the lion head) next time
• If I ever want to design my own skateboard or one for other people I will be able to do so, easily, in adobe illustrator 

B2 Pen Tool Practice

Reflection

This project is about adobe illustrator and becoming more familiar with it. We had to either find a photo on the internet or take one ourselves, after we had the picture we had to edit it in illustrator. 

The pen tool worked well for me. It was easy outlining what I wanted to paint.

Using the paint tool was difficult because I had to make sure my path lines were connected properly. 

I think I will choose a more difficult/complex photo to paint next time, this one was kind of easy.

I used the pen tool, paint tool and move tool, I used the pen tool to outline what I needed to paint. I used the paint tool to color in the shapes I made and I used the move tool to duplicate the stars.

The next time I use illustrator outside of school i will be able to paint any image I can find.

Truth in Advertising Project

Reflection

     Advertisements can appear on billboards, in videos, on TV, on the radio, and in books/ magazines/ websites. They show up very often throughout most of our days and can be split into different sub genres.

     I believe advertisements for fast food are the most influencing (although most ads are). They show images of their food and are aimed at those watching who are hungry at that moment, which would influence them to purchase the food. Advertisements for clothing lines cater to the audience who wants to look and feel like the model on the ad; they would buy the clothes ion order to accomplish this.

     In a free market like the one we live in, I do not feel that advertisements should be regulated by the government, no matter what they are (as long as they are not directly offensive). Since ads can influence us however, we should promote free thinking among the audience to keep them from blindly following advertisements. 

Criterion    

A: I used the skills and information from the previous project to finish this one. (7)                            B:All the skills (and more) that I learned from the other assignment were used to create these images.(7)

B: I feel I demonstrated my ability proficiently on this project. (8)
