This is a flyer I created for the Somerset Fire Department's pancake breakfast. The pancake breakfast was being held in order to raise funds for a 9/11 memorial. I used a red white and blue flag theme in order to incorporate the United States. I downloaded the font Dker Poster for the heading. If I had to do this project again I would have tried to edit the pancake image on Photoshop.
Create a marble background
I made a marble background in Adobe Illustrator. I created different shapes in different colors and used the swirl tool. Then I made a clipping mask of a rectangle. I rasterized the shapes. I learned how to make a clipping mask. Also, the shapes could have been more translucent.
I made a marble background like in my previous project. I selected all objects and hit group so they became as one item. Then I was able to mask the text of my name over it to grab the texture and shape from the marble background.
Posters for Mrs. Nasiff.
I created the posters above for Mrs. Nassif. She requested two posters to advertise a Silent Auction and Penny Social. I used fall colors on photoshop to create the posters. I also downloaded two brushes from Brusheezy.com. If I were to do the project again I would position the brushes differently.
Thayer Street Review
The graphics classes went on a field trip to Thayer Street, Providence. My friend and I made a map of the locations and names of the stores we visited. We also took several photographs of the signs and advertisements used by the stores. I learned a lot about the use for graphic design through exploring the street. We ate lunch at Johnny Rockets and I noticed that the color red was used in the advertising. The color red is used to trigger hunger.
Pencil
I created the pencil logo on Adobe Illustrator. I learned to use many tools such as the rectangle tool, rotate tool, smart guides, rectangular grid tool, stars, spirals, and polygons.
Pear
I created the pear on Adobe Illustrator. I learned how to use the pen tool to draw straight lines, draw curved lines, select/adjust curve segments, edit curves, change from smooth to pointed and vice versa. I also used template layers. While the assignment was difficult I was able to learn a lot about the pen tool.
Triangle Fish
I created the triangle fish on Adobe Illustrator. I used the measurements given by my teacher to then find the radius of the triangle. For some reason the photo I uploaded looks different than my file saved on the computer. I made the hook with the pen tool and used the measurements given. The waves were also made by the pen tool.
