I am more than proud of my sister for being named the CAA Rookie of the Year.  This is a huge accomplishment and I am so proud of hte hard work she put forth the achieve her goals and receive this award.  I love her and she has always been my role model. I know that swimming for Towson and having her team training and cheering beside her drives her love for swimming. I made a photo to represent this. LETS GO TOWSON TIGERS!!

My symbol was a bucket and shovel at the beach.  I am more than ready for summer and the beach!! The warm weather here recently has got me summer shopping and beach resort scoping.  I love the illustrator tools now and am learning so many new ways to change vector based images.

I found that you can move the gradient by using the gradient tool in the left tool bar.  I enjoy this program now.  It doesn't allow the creativity that I enjoy most like Photoshop but I still love creating 3D and 2D figures.

Medium: Illustrater

The only problem I ran into on this assignment was I could not change the location of the center when using hte gradient tool.  I will have to find out how to get the bar to appear so I can work with it.  I like this and I never knew how easy it was to create a simple, striking 3D logo.  I am slowly beginning to like illustrater.

I am not a fan, as predicted, of the pen tool and will need practice with it.  I do not like how you can not go back more than one step.  If oyu mess up there is no turning back.  I will continue to work with the pen too on different shapes and objects.  I love the gradient look.  It makes the rubber duck look realistic with a side of humor.  I am beginning to like illustrator but not as much as I love photoshop.

Adobe Illustrator is a lot like photoshop but completely different.  You have all of the same tools but each tool does a different action from photoshop.  I enjoy this program so far and think that having knowledge of both illustrator and photoshop will be useful in creating a final, big project.  My favorite part of this project was the gradient because you can create as many colors as you want and you can control the distance between colors.  Effects are fun to play with (the bottom 4 flowers) and create different moods in the artwork.

My Favorite Projects as of 3/27/13

End of Quarter Overlook

Medium: Photoshop (1) Photoshop (2)

I have two favorites that are based on the same idea and techniques.  I love the clone tool.  I feel as though I have mastered the art of combining two images.  They key is to use different occupancies to make the transitions look realistic. You need to combine things that make sense.  There is no example of a bad choice of objects because every artist has an idea and need to choose the right objects to portray their idea.  I will continue to use these techniques in the future because it makes the artwork interesting and entertaining. I am not a fan of the projects involving text because I think it takes away from the art itself.  However, I have seen some text worked into a piece of artwork that is very entertaining for the viewer.  I have enjoyed every project so far and  can not wait to continue to master Photoshop.
