Day 4
 For this project, we were supposed to do an illustration of our face while also using items that relate to us while using adobe illustrator. In my final product you can see that for my ears i have headphones, my hair looks like pavement and in my forehead you cans see gears, my nose is a motorcycle engine, and my eyes consist of a snake eye and a motorcycle wheel, and my eye brows are made of animal print trails. I tried sticking with a color scheme resembling the flag of El Salvador, which is what the ES on my shirt stands for. I tried creating texture in my eyes and hair with the effects option. I tried to put some emphasis on the eye containing the motorcycle wheel because it seemed a bit bland, so I created a tattoo underneath the eye to draw attention. This final product accurately represent my sketch, mostly because of the magikarp lips and whiskers. That was the most fun part of my project, making myself the "Awkward Fish".

For this project we were to create a 3D rendering of a product we designed in  adobe Illustrator CS3. We had to use our knowledge of creating 3D effects such as Revolve and Bevel and Extrude. Using these options we could take 2D figures and make them 3D for better effects. I was inspired to create a sound system because of all of the music I've been listening to as of late. And the last party I went to we used many fun lights to high octane music, so I came to the idea of creating a sound system with LED lighting as part of it. The system itself is supposed to be balanced so I used a rectangular shape for the base speaker and two identical round speakers for the sides. I tried to create contrast with the fairly bright green against the shades of grey. I honestly feel as if this final product is better than my original sketch due to several changes I made on the original concept.

Final Product










So this project was actually a follow up and the final part to the lamp project we had just finished. In adobe illustrator CS3 we were supposed to create a room for that lamp, utilizing 3-D effects even more this time to create such objects as the poster or table i have in my project. The 3-D effect is to make our product seem more realistic. So I had made a mushroom lamp in the previous project, and to build on that i made a room that would seem pretty chill and fun to me just like when i had the thought in creating the lamp. Also, for the color scheme, believe it or not I had been playing a game that had the Joker in it so I got inspired by his colors and whatnot. And because the mushroom color was toxic I mad a poster with a caution sign on it as well as the table.And I can see that they came out weird, but using the bevel & emboss effect I made the two curved chairs, the table came out the best when I had used this effect. For the most part my final design represents my sketch, but I think I could have done a better job on the chairs.

myLamp

Day 1 - Sketch


Day 2 
Final Product














In this project we were to make a lamp of our own design in adobe illustrator CS3. I chose to make a little mushroom touch lamp, I was in a silly kind of mood on our first day and a mushroom really just hit home for some reason. Also in this project, we were trying out something new that allowed us to make our lamps 3-dimensional, it was helpful to play around with the tool and learn how to use it. In this project the general idea i had was to make the mushroom pieces from basic circles, so most of this was made from that one shape. I tried to make the top of the mushroom stand out from the stem because I wanted it to pop out more to someone who takes a look at it, I tried to create some contrast here. All in all, I say this accurately represents my sketch, but a bit better.
