My Creative Pieces: To the right are the creative pieces I have made. They look like weird space things, right? Well, actually they are space emojis. The moods that I replicated were a happy, excited, and annoyed moods. The Earth was just made to add more space effect. Also, the flag is on the earth and not the moon because I wanted to make sure people knew that it was actually Earth and not just some random planet. I chose to make my different emoticons in space because I wanted a theme to my creative pieces rather than having two completely random objects. I also chose to make emoticons because I wanted to make something that was unique to other peoples' ideas. To make sure I added the uniqueness, I put my emojis in space and made them space themed. I wanted something that was a little more outside the box than my peers. Not just a basic everyday object such as a plant of some sort or a piece of sports equipment. I thought the space emojis would be a perfect way to incorporate unique and exciting in one image.
My Pencils/Pencil Cup: The pencils and pencil cup were an assignment that was given to our class. Its purpose was to show us different ways to use Adobe Illustrator and the different tools it provides. I learned that you can duplicate and move an object exactly where you want it just by using the control and shift keys. While creating my own design for the pencil, I figured out how to add more live paint bucket patterns. That was really cool because it gave a bigger horizon of patterns and designs to put on my pencil. I also learned how to make a curved line. This is actually pretty simple, all you have to do is grab the pencil tool and draw with the mouse whatever you wish to put on the canvas. I used this tool to write my name, then I moved my created pencil to the end of my name and made it look like the pencil had just wrote my name. I also learned how to make the cylinder to wear you can put things inside of it. Then I was able to design the pencil holder and make it my own!
