First Graphic Design Project

Our first project of the year was to make a basic pencil with instructions in Adobe Illustrator. The process was fairly easy this is how it turned out..

 The next step was to make our own pencil without instructions in Adobe Illustrator. This was a little harder than the first time since there was no instructions but after a little I got the hang of it. This is how it turned out..

                                              

The final part of are project was to make 2 objects of our own is Adobe Illustrator pretty much using tools that we learned. I made my phone which is the HTC one and I also made the Apple Mouse. Here how it turned out.

In the end I learned a lot of things in Adobe Illustrator especially certain tools and what they do. The 3 takeaways that I came up with were

 1.When using the polygon tool you can add more or less sides with the up and down arrows. 

2.On a shape or object you can add an anchor point to round or even change the shape. 

3. Using the gradient tool can help applying color to an object and then applying the amour of light you want.

Cutting Carrots

From this assignment I learned more about the 6 shot system and using Final Cut Pro. I also learned not to make the mistake of crossing the 180 degree rule. In future projects I will make sure to not break the 180 degree rule. I will also make sure to apply each shot that is needed to future project.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic design is very unique in many ways. Lets say you are walking down a street in New York city, you will see graphic design on signs, billboards, on buildings, and everything else.  You can make graphic design through text, pictures, shapes, colors, and textures. People use programs like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, or InDesign. Good graphic design makes peoples lives better and in the end graphic design is everywhere.
