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.

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.

Colored Final Product

So this was pretty much our classes first group project in that our final products would be used together for one big piece. We were all given a specific emotion and through minimalism and symbolism we were to create an icon to represent the emotion. I was given love, to some that might seem easy. Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment to either a person(s) or thing(s). When I was deciding what kind of icon to create I knew I wanted to incorporate the heart in it, but through anther image. So i thought swans, because two mating swans at some point come together and do something that forms a heart with their head and necks. So with this idea in mind I created two swans forming a heart. I started with one swan first and then duplicated it to keep it all symmetrical. My final design resembles my sketch in that it has all of the details I originally had in mind.

Day 3

Final Product





In the Tessellation project we were to create our own tessellation design in Adobe Illustrator CS3. We were to use knowledge from our last project, the color wheel, to finish this project. My final product was inspired by the Heartless from Kingdom Hearts. It was actually a hard decision because I had multiple tessellation designs i wanted to choose from for this project, but i stuck with the Heartless. I tried to use a red that wasn't too dark to create contrast in the design, I wanted it to pop out of the basic black background. By repeating the original panel I was able to create the base hexagonal shape, and then the shapes around it. My final product actually looks better than my sketch to me, but that would be because now it has color to support the design.

Color Wheel

This was a one day project we were assigned where using Adobe Illustrator 3 we had to create a color wheel using the elipse tool, polygon tool, pen tool, and paint bucket tool. It was a pretty basic project, but it was useful. For one i got to use a new tool, and work a little more with two other tools i've used before. Of course we manipulated shape using the shape and pen tools, and created contrast with the various colors in the wheel. All in all it was a nice project, and I think it helped me with the project we are now starting.
