Project 3: Collage


Well as we all know I am not very artistic at all... but I used very simple lyrics from a Beatles song that says "Love is all you need". So I tried to depict love as much as i could, it is definitely nto very creative because it literally is all couples but I think it all flows together pretty well.

Vector Illustration

This project, like all the other projects we did on photoshop was VERY difficult for me. I thought this picture was going to be pretty simple, but it turns out it wasn't. It still if pretty rough around the edges but overall I think it came out OK, considering how bad I am in photoshop. I think one of my main problems was that I didn't use a lot of layers. I totally forgot about layers until I was basically done with the project. I think I could of created more shadows, but that was a challenge. I am pretty happy with my vector illustration.

Logo Process

This project was very difficult for me. Adobe Illustrator is a pain in the behind to use. I have no skill in this program whatsoever. I first started with a cute simple sketch, thinking it would be easy to recreate it on illustrator. I was wrong. I think it came out pretty good in the end, but I think it may be a little too simple. When I look at the technical aspect of my project, I think it is a bit jumbled. I think I have way too many layers. At first when I started adding color, it looked so bland because it was just brown and nude for the dog and bone. So I decided to add some more color by adding a blue color to the dog's eyes and a pink bow. I think that made it look better. I didn't know whether or not to use gradient or not. I think without gradient it looks more plain like a cartoon, which it was i was going for. When I experimented with gradient I thought it looked good, but I didn't know whether or not to keep it or not use it. I ended up not using it, still not sure if I regret that or not. The font i chose I think is OK, but I didnt know whether or not to keep it black. Overall, with my experience in illustrator, (which is none at all) I think my logo came out pretty cute.
