Plane Projects

This was quite an interesting project, for I had to visualize what I to do with the plane we were given; this project has further showed me how to blend things in to make them seem like they are actually part of a picture when in reality they are not. For this project I used tools such as the clone stamp tool, the pent tool, and a few transformations such as a particular blur and warp as well.

This project was very interesting and extremely tedious to proceed and work on. This project involved by far the most detail I have ever used for a project. I learned much from this project, however; One specific part I learned was being able to use the layer masks for many more things than only just erasing unwanted parts of an image. Overall I believe this project was a great experience and I and extremely happy to have gotten quite far on it.

Snappyyyy logo (My Version)

This is the final draft of the Real Estate logo that I was trying to redesign. The whole point of this new logo is not only to show a clean and simple logo, but also to really show the professionalism of the company. I also tried to make a unique effort in attempting to making sure that the illustrated swan was attached to the word "swan" and to make sure that the roof illustration was over the words "Real Estate" to demonstrate that Real Estate is involved mostly with houses. I also attempted to provide a font that contained a sort of relevance with the illustration design of the swan. Overall this project was not very difficult, but the main point of this project was to use creativity to re- create new things, which is one of the lessons I definitely learned from this project.

Crappy logo

 

This is a logo for a company called "Swan Real Estate" and it needed some major redesigning. For starters, the swan shown in this picture barely even appears to look like a swan and the lettering over the picture doesn't match the style of the picture whatsoever. Not only this, but the lettering for the real estate agency is made primarily from word art which is not a good style for a business in this field of real estate. Moreover, the logo for this agency does not even seem like it has anything to do with real estate; from the first impression of this logo, it may seem as if it was a business that mainly dealt with swans in one way or another.

There were many particularly difficult angles of completing this project. However, this project did helped me more understand some tools that I never even thought about using in illustrator. Some new tools that I used were the perspective tool, the type on path tool, and most importantly, the direct select tool. Moreover, I do indeed believe that this project will help me in the future in illustrator, like taking the illustrator certification exam. Overall, this project was very time consuming, but extremely beneficial and satisfying as an end product.

Holiday project

The holidays are always happy times for most people; therefore, I thought I'd try my best to express how most people imagine the holidays. This project was created from scratch and was mostly created with just the pen tool and the ellipse tool. However, I did use a few other tools like the text warp tool and red with blue gradient. On a slightly different note, to me this project was mostly just for the enjoyment of the holidays and I wanted to create something from my prospect of the holidays.

My Portfolio

This portfolio was very interesting to recreate; there were many aspects on improvement that I had not found previously that I had finally figured out. I changed the font to a more relieving/modern font that also made the portfolio look a lot cleaner. Moreover, I also placed the images in the portfolio in a better place on each page; I placed them to where they aligned with some other part on the page. Overall I thought the portfolio was quite simple to recreate, but was more of a creative type of project than anything.
