Pencil Project




  I made all of these in Illustrator using tools like gradient, paint, shape, line, pencil, and stamp. At first trying to figure out all the tools was a bit frustrating but I got the hang of it. The first one was the simplest and easiest to make. It didn't take a lot of work and it was easy to follow the directions. The second and third ones were a bit harder and at first I couldn't figure out how to use the gradient tool. After getting some help it got easier and I found out new things about Illustrator. My three big take aways are that doing command j makes all selected pieces joined, the v key takes you to the select tool and command g/command shift g groups and ungroups.

Bouncing Ball






To make a bouncing ball I first created a horizon, a ball and a sky. Then I moved what I made into After Effects. I did this because the key frames in After Affects let you do more with them, I just used Photoshop to create the ball and background I was going to animate. Then added key frames to make the ball move up and down across the screen and to make the ball squish and stretch I adjusted the size of the ball when it was on the ground or in the air. I also edited the key frames to make the ball ease in and out of the air. This project was fairly easy but got frustrating at some points.

Graphic Design

Graphic design is a way to communicate. It's a language of living that incorporates text and images. It moves people and makes them think.It creates an experience memorable by using color, shape, texture and lines. It grabs your attention, makes you stop and stare figuring out the message.
