Logo design practice sheet

Project Description: In this project I practiced and messed around with different ways that letters and shapes interact with each other. Examples of such that were used in the practice sheet were stacked text, figure ground reversal, ligatures, and letters as an object. We had to make at least 4 of each of those types.

New Skills and Processes used: Some new things I learned through doing this practice sheet were the divide button in the pathfinder window, the white sub-selection tool, the trace view mode, the trace feature and a little about grouping and un-grouping. I know I will use these techniques will be useful in future projects I do.

Self Reflection: I think that I did very well on this and it was not all that challenging. The part that I had the most trouble with was the figure ground reversal last 2 pictures. It was hard to use the positive and negative colors while still keeping it looking like a letter. Other than that it wasn't too hard, but it just took a little time to do.

Part/Project: 10/10: I think I worked very well on this and did not get distracted by other things and I did more than 4 of the figure ground reversals and 2 of my letters as an object had all pictures in them to make up the word.

days 8-12 practice sheet

days 8-12

Project Description: This is my practice sheet for days 8-12 on the crash course tutorials on www.vectordiary.com. In this I learned how to use the pathfinder window along with all the things inside of it. I explored transparency and also go to play around with gradients and fills.

new skills: 

• how to cut things out
• how to add shapes
• all the different blending modes
• styles for shapes
• transparency
• different brush strokes and brushes
• Tools: square, circle, brush (all the options and windows that go along with those)

self reflection: This was a good tutorial to help me learn all these new skills. Throughout the year I know I will be using these tool and techniques such as gradient and brush strokes. Also the caps and different caps I put on the end of the lines and the stars makes more of a difference than I thought. Overall I though I worked well on it and it was interesting to learn.

part/project: 10/10 I gave myself a 10/10 because i worked well on this. The whole time I was in class I was working on this and I did all the things for my practice sheet that were required.
