Final project
For our final we were to create a logo for a company called creative element. We were to interpret it however we wanted and I thought of it as a craft store. I designed my logo to look like a periodic table element. The bottom number is their phone number and the "atomic number" is a pencil and is supposed to be interpreted as a 1. I worked with illustrator for this project and I used the tools i was familiar with.

I really liked working on this project because it made me really think about how certain images look better with different background colors and it helped me understand how to coordinate colors and use different font styles and sizes. I liked picking out the flower images and making up little sales and coupons. It helped me practice working with photo shop and improved my skills. We were to create mailer ads. The first image would be the outside of the ad and the second image would be what you would see opening up the ad.I overall enjoyed this project.
Photoshop
This project was sort of difficult for me just using new techniques and everything, but I overall enjoyed it. I liked manipulating the objects to work with the logo. I liked sketching things out and deciding on my final three.
Typography
I went through several different ideas before deciding which to use for this project. I learned about how fonts effect the way you read things and how important it truly is. I also worked with the drop shadow effect and the gradient tool on illustrator. I overall like how everything turned out.
Gradient Mesh Tool Project
In this project we focused on using the mesh tool. We created a 3-D image of a fruit of our choice. I chose an apple. My least favorite part of this project was how time consuming the process of creating shading throughout the apple was. My favorite part was just seeing the end result.
Pen Tool
For this project we learned about how to use the pen tool. My favorite part of this project was playing with the gradient tool. I enjoyed creating this project.
