Motivational Poster

GO GREEN Motivational 

 I took a picture of the planet earth an went from there by adding a clipping mask of the recycle logo. I wanted the color green to be part of the message as well as the moral of the motivational poster. Multiple layers and gradients  and i ended up with the main part of the poster.

The tutorial  I followed  was for the glowing letters which I followed until i certain point and then I took my own perspective on it.

Logo Designs

Initial logo

Description: For each logo I used color to make individual letters or symbols pop out. for the first logo i made the B appear as if it were linked into the second B. I used a dark blue color to make the logo visually satisfying.  

full name logo

The second logo in my upload is the full name logo  I kept it simple by once again using colors that would stand out, drawing attention to the logo.  I  picked the "A" in both names because it was the only letter that appears twice besides the B.


 

full name symbol logo

Finally the third logo I did I chose a symbol I created earlier in the year during the spaceship project back in photo shop. I subtracted the shape of a star from the original star and just added a circle into the middle. I did it because I had a feeling it would be a creative and original though to add to the logo.

Project Description: this project took us through more techniques possible using Illustrator. We did four figure ground reversals, four Ligature names, four text stacks, and four symbol/letter replacements.

New, Skills, and Processes
tracing, importing the pictures for the symbol replacement, Dividing

Self reflection: on this project i think i did better than usual. I didnt hit any obstacles only a few challenging aspects that were fun in the end. i would give myself a total 9/9

  Project



 This tutorial took us through some other important tools in Illustrator. Most tools used included color in some way. The gradient circle shows may shades of brown leading to the black center. Another part of this tutorial taught  us about layers. I put the bubbles I made and the green star on a separate layer allowing me to add  a visual effect.








new skills and processes

• gradient tool
• patterns
• applying  patterns to other tools
• grid
• layers

Following the tutorial proved challenging. I had a hard time with a lot of things, one being time, another being a difficulty understanding the tutorial. Time really brought down my ability to fix some things on the ship itself. 

New skills and processes

• gradient tool
• subtract from shape process.
• curving the straight lines.

This project taught me the skills I listed above. I am starting to understand how to put different things together to make a larger picture or idea. I tried to make my spaceship a little unique by being creative, but still using the guidelines of the tutorial. I would grade myself a  8/8.
