This video showcased a very simple and basic tutorial for using adobe illustrator. It introduced illustrator and showed the basic tools that are associated with it. Based off of this video alone I believe that both the white and black selection tools will be easy to use/navigate with. On the other hand, based off of the tutorial the align panel and pathfinder look like they will be more complicated or complex to use and navigate. Overall, I found this video to be very useful it provided be with a basic understanding of illustrator, the tools, and how to create/navigate easy drawing with this software.

This video featured a quick beginners tutorial for using adobe illustrator. It featured the rectangle tool, the startle tool, pen tool, and curvature. In addition, the video also began by sharing useful keyboard shortcuts that I believe will be very useful for navigating illustrator. The rectangle and startle tool look relatively easy to use and create with. On the other hand, the curvature looks like it may be more complex to learn and get the hang of.

This video showcased a very beginner tutorial for using adobe illustrator. One thing that this video did a very good job of was showcasing the logistics and how to save your progress, and what to do if something goes wrong. I believe that the layers and shape panel will be easy to use, in addition to the selection tools. The only thing that seemed like it may be a little bit harder to use, is the gradient tool which is only talked about briefly in this video. I believe that all tools and information included in this video will be both useful and easy to use.

Original Sketches 3 Designed Business Cards   Artist Statement For this assignment I created my own personal business cards using Adobe InDesign. I first began by sketching out my original vision of what I thought I wanted my business cards to look like, however when it came time to actually designing I found new inspiration. I first step up the layout of the InDesign file to have six sides too it so three cards in total. I then downloaded two image backgrounds from Morguefile which I placed in the background of my cards to act as a backdrop for the rest of my design. I next created various designs including a sunflower, my initials, a border, and different colored variations of my tag brush. I arranged all of these designs into three different cards putting contact information on the back including a mock email address and phone number. My overall goal for the cards was to keep them simplistic yet make them unique in design. Overall, I am happy with the end result of each card and...

Animation

  Artist  Statement  For this assignment I worked on creating my own animation using Adobe Photoshop. For the animation I decided to do it with the inspiration of my dog chasing a ball. To create it I found an image of a dog through a google search in two different positions that would look like it is running and sitting. I also found an image of a tennis ball and used the quick election tool to trace around the ball. When it came time to creating the actual frame animations I decided to create a story of two dogs chasing one another and chasing after the ball. Overall, I found this assignment to be slightly challenging when creating the vision that I had in my mind, however I am happy with how it turned out.

Final Portfolio

  Artist Statement  For this final assignment on Adobe InDesign I created of a complication of all of the assignments and projects I have created over the course of the semester. I began by first downloading a template off of AdobeStock that I then placed into Adobe InDesign and modified. I then adjusted the fonts and texts to ensure that there was not any errors present in the document. Following that I downloaded all of the assignments I have created this semester from DropBox and arranged them in order following the table of contents. I made sure to include my artist statements for each of the projects as well as a page about me. Overall, I am happy with the outcome of this assignment and I found it to be the perfect ending to the semester to be able to reflect back on everything that has been created and achieved in this course.   Template used and modified  AdobeStock-483192635
