ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR ORIGINAL MY RECREATION

FOR THIS PROJECT I CHOSE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER AND IMPORTED IT INTO ILLUSTRATOR. I TURNED THE LAYER INTO A TEMPLATE, THEN CREATED NEW LAYERS, AND USING THE PEN TOOL I STARTED TRACING THE SHAPES. AFTER I COLORED THEM, I STARTED TRACING THE SHADING, AND PUT A BLUR EFFECT ON THEM TO ACHIEVE THE MOST ACCURATE DUPLICATE.

MAGAZINE FOR THIS PROJECT I DESIGNED A LOGO FOR A SUSHI RESTAURANT. I BASED IT OFF OF MY ORIGINAL SKETCH, AND RECREATED IT AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE USING THE PEN TOOL, WARP TOOL, TEXT ON PATH TOOL, ELLIPSE TOOL, ETC. AFTER I CREATED SEPARATE ARTBOARDS FOR THE DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS, I COPY AND PASTED SOME OF THE OBJECTS AND MODIFIED SOME SIZES, POSITIONS, AND EVEN COLORS UNTIL I WAS HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING.

FOR THIS PROJECT I USED TWO OF MY ORIGINAL SKETCHES AND TRIED TO RECREATE THEM AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. I USED A VARIETY OF TOOLS SUCH AS THE PEN TOOL, ELLIPSE AND RECTANGLE TOOL, TYPE ON A PATH TOOL, AMONG OTHERS. I ALSO USED 3D EFFECTS, BLURRING EFFECTS AND CREATED MY OWN SYMBOLS LIKE THE SPARKLES AND THE DIAMOND. THE LAST DETAILS CONSISTED OF COLORING, SIZING, AND POSITIONING DECISIONS.

MOVIE POSTER FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT I CHOSE ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES, “THE MAZE RUNNER”, AND DESIGNED A MOVIE POSTER FOR IT. I FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THERE WAS A LOT OF TYPOGRAPHY AND INFORMATION. I DECIDED TO MAKE THE TITLE LOOK LIKE ITS ON THE ACTUAL MAZE, BY PUTTING A COLOR BURN EFFECT ON THE WORDS.

TRIFOLD BROCHURE TRIFOLD FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT I DESIGNED WHAT I WANTED THE TRIFOLD TO LOOK LIKE ON MY SKETCHBOOK, AND USED A COMBINATION OF INDESIGN, ILLUSTRATOR AND PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE IT COME TO LIFE. ALL OF THE TYPOGRAPHY WAS GENERATED IN INDESIGN, WHILE THE ILLUSTRATIONS AND PICTURES HAD TO BE PRE-CREATED IN ILLUSTRATOR OR PHOTOSHOP.

LARA FARINELLA THERE WAS VARIOUS STAGES TO WORK THROUGH IN THIS ASSIGNMENT. FIRST I DESIGNED THE LAYOUT OF THE MAGAZINE IN MY SKETCHBOOK, THEN I SET UP MY DOCUMENT IN INDESIGN, WHERE MY FIRST FOCUS WAS THE PARENT PAGES. ONCE I WAS DONE WITH THAT, I USED PHOTOSHOP AND ILLUSTRATOR TO CREATE SOME OF THE ELEMENTS, WHILE ALSO ADDING MOST OF THE TEXT BOXES IN INDESIGN. I PUT ALL THE ELEMENTS TOGETHER TO MAKE IT LOOK THE MOST LIKE MY DESIGN.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

I CHOSE ONE OF THE DANCER SCULPTURES AND CHOSE DIFFERENT TEXTURED IMAGES FROM THE INTERNET. AFTER COPYING AND PASTING A TEXTURE, I USED THE PEN TOOL AND THE LASSO TOOL TO CREATE SELECTIONS. THEN I CREATED LAYER OR VECTOR MASKS DEPENDING ON THE SELECTION, AND PLAYED WITH BLENDING MODES AND ADJUSTMENT LAYERS. FINALLY I CHANGED THE BACKGROUND USING A GRADIENT ADJUSTMENT LAYER.
