Assignment 11: Making a movie title

For this project we worked on developing a movie title.

Assignment 10: Working with 3D tools to make logos

For this assignment we were to try using Illustrator's 3D features to try creating logos. Inspired by Microsoft's XBOX and Explorer logos, I decided to try developing my spin on their logos.

Assignment 9: Working with type and a design element

For this assignment we are working with type and a design element. In the past I had seen some really nice examples of typography and textures. I decided to explore Illustrator's masking feature and create different types of ink textures.

Assignment 8: Create an icon

For this assignment we worked on developing icons. I developed an icon with 2 curved lines pointing in different directions, forming the letter "S" to represent syncing. I also tried 2 different styles of buttons to hold the icon.

Assignment 7: Artist Statement

The assignment for this lesson was to develop a poster (11"x17") for an artist statement. I chose Damien Hirst because I like his really clean, simple, aesthetic despite his subject matter's (which is typically surrounded by controversy) tendency to be gruesome.

Assignment 6: Draw 2 pieces of fruit

The assignment for this project was to create 2 pieces of fruit in a single composition. I decided to draw a full Kiwano, and a cross section showing the inside with the seeds. It was mentioned that this would would be really hard...yes it was. However, I did learn some new features during this project, such as the ability to blur vector art within Illustrator, and the color guide.

Assignment 5: Typography

For this project we experimented with typography and Illustrator's ability to convert text into art. It's kind of difficult to see, but I used 0s and 1s to create the word Binary (I'll also include an enlarged view of the B)
