Society of Illustrators Visit

Society of Illustrators Visit   The trip to the society of Illustrators was an overall great trip and taught me many aspects of being an illustrator. The purpose of the Society of Illustrators is to promote and appreciate the history and evolution revolving around the art of illustration. They also educate and contribute the service of its members to the welfare of the community at large. My favorite drawing from the Society of Illustrators is the one above with the Shark and Octopus. I like animals and sea creatures, and that is one reason why I like this piece. Another reason why I like this piece is because of the cartoon look it has and the attention to detail. The shipwreck in the background really is a great touch to the art piece and makes it look like the painting is underwater. The attention to detail is really nice to see because that is something I need to work on with my drawings. I would also like to know how to make something look 3D, I am not good at drawing characte...

Photoshop Blend Modes

  Photoshop Blend Modes Working in photoshop again was cool and refreshing from working with InDesign and illustrator. I used 15 blend modes and used the brush for the rest. I changed the size, color, smoothness, and flow of the brush to see how it affects the mini pictures. Smoothness made it hard to draw but also made it smooth in return. For the brushes, I colored in some parts of the pictures, like my face or hair. For others, I just highlighted my face or glasses. Some of the blend modes are cool, but others make it hard to see. "Subtract" makes me look cool and reminds me of a character called Mr. Negative. "Luminosity" and "Vivid Light" look clean and are pretty clear to see. "Hue" and "Color is cool but is hard to see me. In the pictures, the only thing you can see are my eyes, hair, and glasses. "Color Burn" looks awesome and is likely supposed to make it look like the picture has been burned. " Lighter Color" an...

Branded Print Ad: final

Image
  Branded Print Ad: final For my ad, I made up a game from Medieval times, which is my product. I put my logo on the bottom right of the page because it's where the game poster would put the game developer logo at. For example for Pokémon, Nintendo is part of making the game but game freak is the game-developing company. My tagline is games that change lives, which it's supposed to mean that the games are really good. I put ratings from real game rating companies and from gamers. Ratings of the games are normally in-game ads/ posters so they people know if the product is good or not. I also put a DLC section in the ad because it's something that would normally be in a game ad. In the description section, I wrote a little about the story of the game and the mission. For pictures, I added two characters and crossing axes to symbolize that it was medieval times. I also put a phone number to call if there is anything about the game that people would like to ask. I tried to put ...

Final Logo Reflection

  Final Logo Reflection 25 pencil roughs    The 25 pencil roughs took about two to three days to complete. I need to do some of it at home because I didn't do all of it in class. This task was one that made me use a lot of creative thinking because I needed to think about 25 creative ideas and draw them all out, I am not the best at drawing, but I surprisingly did pretty well. I think that I use rough 1, 5, 6, 9, and 23. I think modified six a bit and changed nine a bit as well. The customs letters from five and one were ones I saw online and tried to hand draw, they turned out well and looked great. The custom letters fit really well with my brand and idea of the company of game designers and creators. In rough 23 I tried a jungle theme and wanted to see where that would take me and if that would fit with the logo. Rough 8 was a good idea but I didn't draw it well, I would have wanted to try it in the electronic roughs. I think that I should have tried to create more ico...
