Reflection of the first 6 weeks

Last 6 weeks, we learned about many things in the program, Adobe Illustrator. We learned about everything from glyphs, to opacity, to shapes. The first project we did in the program was when we made a basketball player out of shapes. The shapes were simple (circle, rectangles, etc.), and we changed the colors and organized them to create the shape of a basketball player. Another one of the many projects we have done is we made a water drop. During the water drop project, we spent a lot of time using the pathfinder tool, and “sending it to back.” The water drop project was probably my favorite project, because the end result looked really cool.

My favorite type of art is probably typography. Typography is art with just words. One of the things I made was Mike Wazowski, the green guy from Monster’s Inc., and I made him all out of letters from a certain font. Using the Alt key was very helpful during this project, because it let me copy and paste these from a pool of letters, without having to right click or anything fancy like that.
