Class Project Halloween Design

    My teacher announced a class project for Halloween. Everyone has to create a T-shirt design with a Halloween theme. If our T-shirts sell on our teacher's custom design company website then the proceeds will go to fund the class Halloween party. Bonus marks and gaining experience on making a creative design for a fun concept made me hop on board. I absolutely love aliens. Someday I will have an entire outfit with alien symbols and logos. Someday when I can be less practical with my money. I also like Halloween, it's fun to dress up and to draw spooky cute things. A couple of years ago I dressed up as a deer girl with antlers.

    I decided that a Halloween alien would be cool to make. A cross between a cute Jack-o'-lantern and a gray alien face could be neat to see constructed. So I made one, and I added a candy bow to her head. This image design would look cute on a female child's T-shirt. Maybe my nieces will want one hehehe.

Learning the InDesign Adobe program. Made a fake resume.

    The Adobe program, InDesign is very useful for making magazine and book spreads. Anything to do with writing, and graphics like in flyers or digital zines this program excels at. For one of my class assignments I had to make a resume. I decided to make a fake one due to time constraints. I experimented with shapes and I used different fonts. I hope I can get cool jobs like what the resume indicates. I'd love to impact my city in a positive manner, helping out the businesses that make up society and influence the diverse communities. 

Vector boat on the lake edition

     I really love building vector objects. I love the Adobe Illustrator vector art style. I decided to build a boat on the lake scenery I made recently because I wanted to create something practical. I drew the main shape on paper and then traced it in Illustrator. I thought a gray and green boat color theme would suit the overall image well. I made the boat into a fishing vessel. It has an emergency canoe, and a lifebuoy, and at the front of the boat is the fishing net mechanism. I like the simplistic defined color shapes but I was encouraged to add shadow shapes of darker colors to the boat to add more depth and I also like how it looks with that technique too. 

Vector Scenery and a 3 headed Swan

     I really love the simplistic vector sceneries with bold colors and shapes. I created a mountain landscape with a forest and still lake water. Awhile ago I had a conversation about swans with a friend, and their graceful, beautiful, long necks made me want to draw one...But as I thought about it, I couldn't help but think how cool it would be if I made my swan unique...A 3 headed swan would be a cool art project to work on. So I created a 3 headed swan, each head with it's own personality and icon. I drew the swan on paper first and then I traced it and built its shape in Adobe Illustrator. I feel better now that it is completed. Like pieces of me, come to life for everyone to gaze at. 🦢

I learned how to make and utilize symbols. Mine looks like a logo.

    I made a stylized letter J for my Adobe Illustrator's make symbols and utilize them assignment. I really like how clean the letter J looks. I love the chunky, new age line look. I also love maple leaves, and it's gradient fits nicely. Now, who wants to hire me to make them a business card logo? 😁

In honor of all the Saint Germaine Cousins out there in the world

    At night I listen to the Daily TV Mass, it calms me and informs me. I love listening to the prayers and sermons. The music is great too. One day when I was tuning in, the priest of the day was talking about a young lady Saint called Germaine Cousin. Her story is very sad but it moved me. I decided to make an image of her for my 8th assignment in Adobe Illustrator. I could write a lot about her but instead just click on this sentence to read about her online. She inspired me. The image of her depicts how she was born with one of her hand deformed. The stained glass and halo helps to give her that saintly vibe.

Assignment 9, Making Text Effects

    I decided to use a variety of text effect techniques to achieve a cool look for the idiom " In the twinkling of an eye." The sentence sounds a bit magical and cool. It inspired me to use the font called Wizardry and to make my own font for the rest of the sentence. I tried to use colors that can be found in eyes. I am proud that I got the hang of this style of effect. I recommend this tutorial. Click the word tutorial to go to the video that helped me.

Lesson 6, Making a coffee cup logo

    In Lesson 6 of Adobe Illustrator CC Classroom in a Book (2018 release) I learned how to use a variety of tools in Illustrator to make a coffee cup, the logo on it, a spoon, and a coffee bean icon. First I drew the coffee cup with the pen tool and the curvature tool. Then for the spoon I drew half of it and then reflected that half to complete the shape. I used the pencil tool to draw the coffee bean. For the steam, I learned how to erase unwanted edges with the Joint tool, and I also connected paths that were wide open.
