Spaceship post

Project Description: I learned how to create this spaceship off a tutorial; the program we used was adobe illustrator. The spaceship was made up of different shapes and I used different tools. The link is http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/2009/03/create-a-simple-spaceship-in-illustrator/ for the tutorial.

New Skills/processes & tools learned: I learned how to use the shape tools as well as the pen tool. At first it was a struggle, but after using it for about two classes I became comfortable with using it.
Shape Tools: Rectangle, Square, and ellipse



Self Reflection: Making the spaceship was easy at first since I was already comfortable with using the shape tools. At about Step 14 was when it started to get harder. The hardest thing in this project for me was making the flame on the ship.

Part/Proj: 9/8 

Final Three Logos


Project Description: These are my final three logos for this project we have been doing in class. The first part of the project was to make a logo out of our initials. The logo all the way to the left is my final logo for my initials. The second project was to use our name. The logo on the right is my final logo  using my name. The last part of the project was to use an image with our logo. The logo on the bottom  is my final logo using an image. To make the logos we used Adobe Illustrator.      

New Skills, Processes, and tools learned: Live Trace, and new shape tools.

Self Reflection: I think that this project was the most fun because it was our own idea. We had to come up with the designs ourselves.
Proj/part: 9/10

first blog post

my first blog post!

        So, this is my first blog post, and I don't know what I am going to talk about. So I am going to tell you about my day so far. I woke up around 6:10 in the morning and had 2 waffles. Yum. I got ready and left the house at 6:50. I got on the bus and sat next to my friends Alex and Judith. As we got off the bus, we walked all the way to the fourth floor to go to our lockers and talk to everyone.
        After the bell rang, I had to walk all the way to the first floor to Culinary class. We learned about cooking terms and measurements. Yippy. When the bell rang, I walked to the Main Gym for gym class, then I realized that I forgot my gym shoes. I met up with my friend Emily and we ran all the way to the fourth floor to our lockers. As we were going, we got stopped by a security guard who was asking where we were going. As we were being questioned we slowly walked away to our lockers. We were able to retrieve our gym clothes and we sprinted back to the locker room to get dressed.
        In gym class we did weigh lifting with our "funny" teacher, Mr. Iyza. After class, I got dressed and came here, to Graphic Design where i made this blog. fun day.
