Creating a sketch on illustrator

Hello! This week I drew a sketch then created it on illustrator. That is what I will be talking about today. So first I had to figure out what I wanted to sketch. I wanted to draw something simple ad basic,but I did not want to do something that everyone else was doing. If that makes any sense. I decided to make a house,but its not an average house its upside down. I decided to draw a house because its simple and its something I see everyday. I decided to make it upside down to represent how my life can be kind of upside down at times.

After sketching I moved onto illustrator. We learned how to use the shaper tool. Which is a very interesting tool that allows you to create and destroy shapes. I used the shaper tool to create the top of my house. Since there is no triangle tool that I can use. This entire process was fairly easy for me. I decided not to add color to my design so I got done with this pretty fast. The most difficult part of this task was trying to figure out how to move shapes to the back. Once I figured out how to do that It became much more easy.


Ive been working with illustrator for about two weeks now and I like it. I like it because it is very simple and easy to work with. I have had no problems with this program so far. Everything is very easy to find and works very well. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes It does not do what I want it to do right away. But I'm sure that once I get a hang of the program I won't have that problem anymore.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi...

Final Blog

Our Final Project in e-Comm Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is w...

Multiplane Animation

Image
Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim...
