* After learning about the Elements and Principles of Design, we were to put that knowledge to the test; By using geometric shapes, we recreated a scene from a picture of ONE Olympic sport. I chose fencing, because sword fights have kind of became a huge part of my hobby-life. (Star Wars, sword-dueling in movies and in general)
* What I like about this project was showing my appreciation to fencing and to the world of sword fighting with this project. * What I didn't like was how different mine was compared to others. I didn't really follow out the "stand-out" or "pop-out" element (not Of Design) to the project. Also when I spray-glued the final project onto the construction paper, I put a little too much on it that there is some moisture at the center of it that is kind of see-through to the construction paper. (For The Technical Project) |
* The Monogram was one of, if not my favorite project in this class so far. I love to make movies home-made with my electronic devices (iphone, ipad) and I have been doing so since 2015. So the movie camera was the perfect image for the monogram project, where we hide our initials in places of the image. My initials are GML. Look closely, can you see them?
* What I liked was being able to express a huge aspect of my personality that I hope one day will be my career in the future. * There is nothing to not like when it comes to making this project. It was fun creating something that someone has to really look at. Because the more you look, the more you know. |
* This is exactly why I love this class: we get to express our personalities into art! I had to choose six pieces of my personality or hobbies and put them all together in a set showing you how I like to make videos on YouTube, that I like to make movies, to make music, to write, to draw and to watch movies.
* Making art with my personality as the ingredients is the real treat for an artist. And I get to do that everyday. * I made this project in the best way that I could. There is nothing to dislike. |
* The Low Poly project was an interesting project to go through, and I am glad that I did what I could in the best of my ability. It was off to a good start, until I was gratefully reminded by my peers that I was supposed to be using the Pen tool and not the Line Segment tool the entire time. I worked way too hard and way too long on this project, I am already stressed out enough on getting ready for the next project, but I am happy with the final piece(s).
* I liked using lines to connect each other into making triangles. The outlook of it was nice, but it was definitely shocking knowing that I was doing it wrong. * I hated having to work for so long, that it seemed impossible to finish. * Here is the end result on the right. And the outlook of it all without the portrait photo on the bottom. * I did my best. And that is all I am happy for. |

* The Stained Glass Effect was the tutorial that first caught my eye, because it looked difficult. It's when you make a frame as seen in the tutorial image with basic vector shapes, and with using a bunch of colors and effects, you will learn how to create the fun glass effect in Illustrator that will make your frame look like it belongs in a church as a window.
* What I liked about this tutorial was how fun it was to follow along and learn how the project transitions from nothing to what you see as the end result on the left. * What I did not like was the actual following along part. I watched the tutorial video that was provided with it. And the guy did a great job with the tutorial, however, because it was a video, he goes pretty fast and it was hard to keep up. So what I did to make it somewhat easier was to slow down the video at 0.25x speed. But, all it took was patience, time, and relaxation while paying attention to complete your tutorial with an outstanding result. |
* My second tutorial was the Holographic Effect. This tutorial was pretty simple as long as you pay full attention to the video or to the instructions. I chose this one, because the colors looked fun to make and edit, and it looked like that it was worth the try. Good thing that it was, because I liked it.
* What I did like about this tutorial was that it was a pretty simple tutorial when you look at the outlook of it, and I always like to enjoy the transition to the end result just like with the Stained Glass Effect. * Like with the Glass Stain, I had to slow down the video to the slowest it can get just to follow along. And it is not fun when it is at regular speed. He goes too fast! |

* Let me tell you about this project: It was a breeze. With it being the last full week of school (Week Of May 22nd) I had to get everything done: My shirt, my tutorials and my event poster. I started this project on Thursday, the 26th and finished it on the next day. It was quite simple but I enjoyed my time once again watching the transition from start to finish.
* I loved this project, because I got to choose my favorite music artist, RIOT. Actually RIOT is an electronic dance music (EDM) producing duo. They are known for the amazing songs in their album, Dogma Resistance. I got to trace the outline of the graphic that is on the cover of the album as well as the RIOT logo font, placing lines over the graphic, and with a little bit of research and picking where the concert should take place, I put them all together to create this event poster of RIOT: Dogma Resistance LIVE. * There was nothing that I disliked about this project. It was a fun, quick project to work on and I am proud of the result. |
