Week 9-Logos

Week 8- Alphabet

To make my alphabet I used te pan tool to make the basic shapes like a square or triangle (like on the letter "A") and the. With the pen tool l made a lang rectangle which I used to make the whole for the "A". Before I cutted the shape I copied the rectangle and moved it to the side. I then used Pathfinder to make the whole and removed any access parts. I used the Direct Select arrow to adjust any small detail like the length of the cutouts. I used the same rectangle that I had on ylyhe side for the other cut outs of the letters, keeping the weight and changing the lenght according to the letter.

Week 7-10 Pictures

The pictures that I took had the concept of a path. I used my phone camera to take pictures of straight paths such as street, sidewalk, sidewalk cracks and rail roads. I took them during different times of the day as well as one in different weather. For the street ones I took them while I was in the car or in empty streets around my neighborhood. 

Week 6-Hue/Saturation

After choosing what I wanted to draw I made a layer for the parts that I wanted to draw, which were the flower and the background. For the flower I made three layers: the outside, the inside of the flower and the part that appeared like the seed. With the Brush tool and Eyedropper I selected a color from the original drawing and painted over it on a separate layer. After a few strokes I outlined the part I was drawing and with the Clipping Mask made an outline to give it a clean look. For the background I did the same thing but made it as simple as possible while still keeping the shape of leaves so that the focus will be mainly on the flower.

For the other drawinga I changed the color with the appropriate color scheme. Monochromatic I kept it a sort of pink-ish color to match the flower. For analogous the color scheme was the original pink of the flower with purple leaves as the background.

Week 5-Value Drawing

To make these drawings I used the Pen tool as well as the Masking tool and Layers. With the Pen tool I first made the first layer with a middle gray tone. Then as I was continuing I added darker grays to where the shadows hit and lighter grays where the light hit. By using the layers I added the small details and extra lighting at the front. With the masking tool I defined the outline even more giving it a more clean look. 

Week 4-TeaPots

For this assignment I also used the brush tool and the tablet to make the pots. The first drawing for each set is a blind contour where the drawing was made by outlining the pots without looking at the results. This tool away the idea of perfection because by not looking at it the focus was brought more on just the shape. For the second drawing it was also contour but this time seeing the drawing was allowed. For this I used the direct select tool to adjust any parts that did not turn out like I wanted it. For the third it was the outline again but this time filling in the shape with lines. With lines it was enough to fill in the empty space and because it's only lines not much detail that it takes away the concept of the shapen of the pots.

Week 3- Iconic Objects

I made the objects using the brush tool and a tablet. By using the selection tool I was able to adjust the length of the lines to what I wanted as well as changing the spacing between each of the lines. The main objective was to make sort of a silhouette of an iconic object and for that I only focused on the outline paying no attention to the small details inside. For the teapot I made the whole for the handle to emphasize its shape because without it would of lost its shape. By making the outline it will show that although it is just lines the items are so iconic that just by the outline they are recognizable.
