The Illustrator Experiance

             Good day my fellow bloggers, I am back with some more knowledge on graphic design. Recently we have been working on Adobe Illustrator and learning the basics, we've done a few projects so below I will talk about the stuff we've done.

             For my first project we got to use Adobe for the first time and it was pretty cool. I think drawing on the computer is a little challenging but I will get better. We learned how to use the basic shapes like the star tool and the rectangle tool. They come in handy a lot and its way to use the tools then try and draw the perfect shape. We also use the lecturer tool a lot, like a lot. For me changing the brushes and making sure it's on fill or stroke is hard because I want to keep going but I have to change everything first, it's a challenge, a fun challenge. We made the shapes had to put them in spots, we also changed the size and shape of the shapes so we had to fix them red or fill them blue. I really like graphic design; it's drawing the whole time. The first project was pretty easy, just using shapes but the second one was a little more difficult.

          The second project we did was a project of our own imagination. We had to use the skills we already knew like how to make perfect shapes and use the selection tool to make something. I made a snowman since the Holiday season is coming up. I had fun making it and I always enjoy drawing on anything really. I fist used polygons for the body but thought it looked weird that I had polygons instead of circles so I used to ellipse tool to create some perfect circles. After I had stacked three white circles on top of each other I used the rectangle tool to create the two rectangles one indigo and one black to create the hat and then used the ellipse tool to create a very wide but skinny black oval for the bottom part of the hat. Then I used the ellipse tool to create 8 very small, black circles for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. After that I used the start tool to create the snowman’s orange nose. I had to make a star—which is just dragging and holding the mouse—then use the up and downs arrows to add or subtract points, if all the points are subtracted it gives you a triangle, then I changed the size so it would be a small nose. Next I used the rectangle tool again to make two skinny, tall brown rectangles that I used for my snowman’s arms. Lastly I used the star tool to create small white snowflakes; I also just drew some white dots too, to make some variety.

We also Used the shaper tool to create an eye type thing. It was a little difficult to figure out how to crave a chance out of the circle but I still like doing all this stuff. We had to create a giant red circle then a smaller circle to put on top

     

     Overall these projects were very fun to do. I like Adobe Illustrator and when we do the projects it’s just drawing the entire hour and it’s so fun to do. I enjoy learning the new material and hopefully by the end my digital drawing skills get better because right now they aren’t the best but they will get better over time. I’m excited to learn new things and this quarter will be pretty interesting.
