My Work.
Easy Button Project
We were assigned to use Adobe Illustrator make multiple buttons with effects like drop shadow, Gaussian blur, and other stylization properties, to create realistic buttons for our website. |
Gradients Project
We were assigned to use Adobe Illustrator to make 10 separate objects using gradients, 3 patterns, 3 shapes, 3 texts, and one using everything. These were primarily made using the gradient tool, along with the transform and distort function. Some of the texts also utilized a "compound path," meaning their gradients don't repeat every letter.
Suits of Cards Project
We were assigned to use the pen tool to make different suits of cards. In this project I used the pen tool, the gradient tool, and the 3d extrude and bevel function in adobe illustrator to make creative versions to the standard suits. The club and diamond use a 3d effect along with a gradient to create an interesting shine. The heart and the spade were placed on rounded rectangles to make a model of real cards.
Clipping Mask Project
This week, we were assigned to use clipping masks to improve our shapes and texts. I made two texts, and three shapes. One of my shapes was made using the pen tool. Most textures were found on google images, and then transferred to adobe illustrator.
Cateye Parks Poster
This week we were assigned to use Adobe illustrator and photoshop to make a poster for a road reflector-themed theme park. I made a cat using the pen tool on illustrator, and then overlayed it on to a roller coaster cart on photoshop. Within photoshop, I primarily used the magic wand tool to delete solid color backgrounds and sections. I tried to keep the design simple while still fufilling the reflector theme.

Layer Mask Project
This week we were assigned to use photoshop to edit images, making them more appealing or unique. This assignment primarily used the layer mask feature, which takes an unedited image, and revealed a filtered version of the image beneath. Most of these images use the motion blur filter, along with some other filters like ripple, noise, and pixelate.
