Flower Brushes

 

During this tutorial we learned how to make our own brushes. We each had to create a brush that was shaped like a flower. Then we each got to play around with the brush and the different colors and sizes that went along with it. 

Butterfly Stamps

 

For this project we learned how to create our own stamps in Illustrator. First we copied a coloring page of our choice into Illustrator. Then we colored in the picture how we wanted. Next we saved it as a stamp and used the spray can tool to make copies of our original picture. Then we moved them around and changed their colors so they don't all look the same. 

2D Buttons

For this project we had to create 2D button things. First we made a shape of our choice and added a gradient to to it. Next we added another shape on top like the other one except this one is transparent. Then we added another shape like the one below but this on has a different gradient on it with similar colors to the first gradient. Afterward we added a shine to it and some text on top. We just repeat this over to create a another one.  

3D Symbols

 

For this project we had to make these 3D symbol things. You start out by making a a circle and add a gradient to it. Then we added a S on top of it and cut out the shapes around it to look like a Yin Yang symbol. After that we added another circle that was smaller so it looked like it fit inside the holes in the Yin Yang and changed the color of it so it didn't match. Next we added a smaller circle so it looked like it was inside the S-shaped parts and changed the colors. 

Rubber Duck

 

For this project we had to make a duck in Illustrator. First we had to outline around the duck and then we added a gradient of our choice. Then we did the same thing to the other parts of the duck, like the beak and eyes, making the duck look more like the original picture. 

Illustrator Flowers

 

During this tutorial we had to create flowers using Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a lot different compared to Photoshop, I prefer Photoshop personally. First you made a star shape and you shape it so it looks more like flower. Then you can change the colors to whatever. Next you add a circle to the middle that matches the flower colors. Finally you can change the size of each flower. 

Cinemagraph

 

For this project we each had to make a cinemagraph, which is like GIF but only one part of the picture moves. I chose to use one of my videos that I took during a concert that I went to recently. I decide to have only the lead singer move while the rest is still. It was really hard since the stage lights kept changing but overall I think it turned out really well.
