The Beginning

Basics

This past week in Graphic Design we've been learning how to get back into the norm so we made a pencil.  After we made a plain and simple pencil (with matching can) we made a personalized version of it.  On my pencil I used my favorite colors; mint and grey, then for my can I used a fun and colorful.

New

Once we created our own pencil and can we were told to create something new.  What I did for my new object was tissue boxes.  I made abstract shapes and patterns to help myself get used to illustrator again.  It was really interesting to see how much I remembered from last year and to already be learning new things.

Some new things I learned are how to use the pencil tool, how to use patterns instead of colors, and also how to use the paint bucket tool to fill in shapes.  I really liked to use my imagination to create something completely out of nothing.

Reflection

If I were to change anything in this project I would've tried to make a shadow on some of my objects and also made my boxes look more 3D and a little bit more abstract and distinct from the others.
