Kaleidoscope Exploration.

After our last class in Illustrator i used the 4Square and 8Square technique to make this kaleidoscope exploration piece. I began with the 4x4 art board and made the corner segment first and then moved it over to the 8x8 and copied the segment to create the circle. I posted the bottom picture to show how utilizing the space off of your art board can be just as important as the content inside of it.

4Square

These are my pictures from the 4-square composition project. I started with a picture of a leaf and traced over the veins to make my linework for the piece. After that I filled the spaces in with alternating shades of color. I chose these colors simply because blue and orange are complimentary and so are yellow and purple. The majority of the piece was done with the pen tool to make the organic curves from the leaf.

Monogram process

These are pictures of my monogram progress. I really wanted to combine the elements of the letters together to make them into single graphic, but still reads as three individual units. After making the "J" it gave me the idea to add similar arrows to achieve an effect that leads your eye in a circular motion around the compostion.

Lesson 3

My completed Home Sale project. While doing this project i learned a few techniques that i have never used before such as the width tool. Although this is not my favorite type of assignment, i thoroughly enjoy learning how to use new tools and expand my Adobe Illustrator abilities!

Monogram Sketches

These are my monogram sketches for my illustrator class. I made these sketches using variations of my initials JWY and originally didn't know what direction i wanted to take the project in. After some thinking i decided that i liked my circular designs the most and will be using those as a reference for my final design in Adobe Illustrator.

Monogram!

I chose this Basin logo because i really liked how it has the letter B slightly submerged into water and how it has a wavy reflection. This company makes bath and shower products so the water aspect really brings it all together.
