Illustrator Homework

-


  
  In my opinion I think the easiest tool in this video that will be simple for me to use is probably the 

star tool, where you can make a star (triangle) and add as many more points as you want. There are 

several ways I can use this tool. 1. I can make a triangle as a sign, or Doritos. 2. I can make a star in 

the night sky, and so on. What I found interesting in this video is that you are able to manipulate 

curves and straight lines to make your own custom shapes, as well changing the color very easily.





    The tool that would be hardest for me to use is most likely the stroke tool. Because there are 

multiple steps you must take in order to make the actual stroke. However, I will definitely be able to 

use this is many different ways. I can use this to outline shapes in order to make them "pop" more. 

When you outline a shape you are creating a border around it. I actually found this video pretty 

insightful due to the very well-explained information. The creator also provides an abundant 

amount of information in general.




The easiest tool in this video for me to use is the zoom tool. Being able to easily zoom in and out of a 

landscape can be very helpful. This will allow me to see everything clearly and proportionally, 

therefore I can work at a minuscule/detailed level or a bigger, more zoomed out level. What I found 

interesting in this video is the fact that she went into great depth in each tool. It was very clear.

Autoscopy Project

Image
  My name is Kenneth Lewis and this is my Autoscopy project. As you can see to the left is my edited picture. I placed myself in the middle of the dark woods. To my left you can see a dog barking, to my right is Mona Lisa herself, as well as peanut butter jars on the bottom to dedicate my love for PB&J sandwiches. I wanted to make Mona Lisa look almost like a ghost, so I lowered the opacity of the embedded image of her to achieve this. However if you look even closer,  I put a picture of Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop in the reflection of my shades. For the color of the picture, I wanted to give it a spooky feeling for the audience; that is why it is made with dark and eerie colors. I was able to do this by putting a Hue/Saturation filter on it, then manipulating the color sliders to my liking. My tag brush logo is seen in the middle of my forehead. I enjoyed making this project because I was able to make it however I chose. Nonetheless, it was not too hard to make.

Somewhere

Image
In the pictures above, is my Somewhere project. The first image that is seen is the version I was able to create in the Photoshop software app. The second image that is seen is the original that I chose off the Internet. To explain what it is, it is a music video with the popular Lil Durk, DJ Khaled, and Lil Baby. They all made a successful song, then following it with a successful music video. This project did not take me too long to make because I knew what I was doing. All I pretty much had to do was cut myself out from my picture and place myself beside them. To also add, I managed to put a reflection under my left shoe, so it actually looked realistic. I enjoyed making this because I chose what I wanted it to be. It came out good to me!

My Business Card

Image
 These two pictures (green) is one of the business cards that I was able to create. I really wanted to make this one look cool to look at. Therefore I copied and pasted several of my logos on the front while also putting my last name in the middle. Then, on the back I put my "phone number" 3 different times but the middle one is pink with a black outline/stroke. I am happy on this came out. In these two pictures below (red) is yet another business card; front and back. For this, I put my logo on the left side of the card, then putting the other half a black rectangle with my first name initial and my last name. Then on the back of the card, I simply just made a gray oval with my "phone number" with a black background. My favorite part of this card is the back because it looks so mysterious with just a dark phone number. Lastly, for these two pictures (blue) is another business card that I made. I put a gradient rectangle on the left side of the front and put my logo
