Splat Project

This is the Splat Project. This was a really short project.

I used new tools, 3D Effect tool.

The easiest part was making splat symbols.

I made splats in Symbol Librariesand dragged them in to the Symbols panel.

The hardest part was 3D Rotating part in my name.

It was cool to made splat 3D but it didn't work well when I made my name. So slow~~

So I made 3D effect to each letter and adjusted the angle,perspetive, and surface:plastic shading.

I made the left corner of my letter 'a' is lighter purple color but 3D effect tool didn't work well

to other letters!

I made more splats and rotated each letters.

Finally, it looks like 3D! I really like 3D effect.

Personal Expression Project

This is Jina's Personal Expression PROJECT.

First, I used a Gradient tool in the background.

I made 2 stars, then clicked partfinder>divide and clicked stroke> none.

I made opacity of a star is 30% and used Symbol Sprayer tool and Symbol Sizer tool.

It was cool that a lot of stars are in my background.

Second, I opend my face ficture.

I clicked the Image trace and selected Tracing Options.

I set the Mode to Color and the Max colors to 15.

Then I chose Object>Ungroup and deleted the useless background.

Finally, I made a moon at the top left corner and make blend. The moon and stars are in my background!

I made a typography.

I used Text tool to write the adjectives that shows my personality.

I chose all of fonts very carefully. I think the fonts show the meaning of the adjectives.

For example, I used straight and solid fonts at 'confident, independent,  straightforward'.

Because I think that those adjectives show my strong and powerful characteristics.

On the other hand, I used decorative and cute fonts at 'sensitive, curious, cheerful, loving daughter, thoughtful'.

Because I think that those adjectives show my calm and sensitive characteristics.

Also, I made the word bigger to emphasize my characteristics.

The bigger word it is, the more I want to emphasize.

I liked the final copy !

Vector Project

I made a snowboard man and used various effect to him and the background.

First, I had difficulty on finding Live Trace. There was no live trace which is on the tutorial!

So I am confused on all wednesday but the neighbor said that this is diiferent version.

The easiest part on this project was creating the new snowboard man.

I deleted background with clicking a button. Then I filled the snowboard man with another color.

I went select>Same>Fill color. This step selected all other shapes with the same color.

It was so nice and easy effect. Also, the final step was easy. I grabbed the Text tool and wrote letters,

and choose nice gradient to fonts.

The hardest part was spraying background with the white rectangle.

I made a rectangle but I didn't know how to use the Symbol Sizer tool and Symbol Sprayer tool.

I learned that the Symbol Sizer tool enlarge shapes. However, the tool made the shapes shrinking

if I hold down the Alt key. It was fun to use Symbol Sprayer tool.

I can make a lot of shapes with that tool. It was first time to use these 2 tools.

Also, It was difficult to use gradient tool to the background.

I like the final copy!

Beautiful Lily Pad Project

I made lily pad using various tools.

First, I didn't know how to choose all the nodes in rows.

I learned to select all the nodes using the Direct Selection Tools.

It was easy to fill all the nodes with particular colors because

I only clicked color stroke none and fill with particular colors.

It was fun to use Warp Tool. I selected the Warp Tool and drag it from the outside edge of the leaf

towards its inside, then leaves are change.

The hardest part was making lily leaves.

I learned pen tool, but it's hard to use pen tool. I think I have to practice pen tool more.

Process:

Select the shape and go to Object > Create Gradient Mesh

I use direct select tool to select the desired anchor points.

Cute Basketball Player Project

 

 

This project was more easier than the last project because I used only basic shapes.

 

I can use Rectangle Tool and Ellipse Tool well now.

 

I learned Shape Builder Tool first time.

 

It was easy because I dragged on parts that need to be removed and only hold down the Alt key.

 

It was fun to make spirals to create his curl hair. I made spirals and use reflection effect first time.

 

I don't understand using the knife tool so I used the shape builder tool instead of them.

 

I think I have to use the knife tool next time.

 

The hardest thing in this project was making a basketball.

 

I made a basketball but it is little tricky to use the clipping mask to hide redundant parts.

 

I clicked the orange circle and select- arrange- bring forward many times.

 

Then I could make a basketball. It was difficult because that isn't on the tutorial.

 

My final image is so cute!

PEN PROJECT 2

Pen Tool Sign Project

This is Jina Kim's pen tool sign project.

The hardest part of this project was making a pattern brush.

I made a light bulb and made a pattern brush.

However, I dragged to the line of the orange rectangle, but it didn't work.

The pattern brush even apperared in white rectangle, so I made pattern brush at white rectangle

and made one more white rectangle.

Also, I had difficulty on finding rounded rectangle tool because I'm not get used to illustrator tools.

On the other hand, the easiest part was typing letters inside of the rectangle.

It was easy because I just had to find similar fonts at fonts list and transform sizes.

I think I have to more get used to find illustrator tools.  This project was wonderful~!!
