Spaceship project

In this project/ tutorial we learned how to create a space ship using simplistic shapes and the cut out tool. By layering i was able to replicate the spaceship as shown. once the basic shape was completed i made my way to filling in the rocket ship with color and then adding a cast shadow to the body and fin of the ship.
we learned how to use.....

• the simple shape tool
• cut out tool
• pathfinder
• color gradient
• and layer masking tool

i found this tutorial challenging to do considering that i am not handy with computers and am more of a visual learner. i needed lots of help to understand what the steps were telling me to do.

Illustrator in 30 days

In order to create this tutorial i went to vectordiary.com in order to achieve this final product. The process demonstrated how to upload a template to illustrator and use the pen and pencil tools to replicate each design.

• learned how to use the simple shape tools such as the circle, rectangle, stars and other simple shapes.
• Pen, pencil and pen anchor tools
• Color fill in tool

The tutorial was pretty easy to understand in regards to the pencil and simple shape tools. once i made my way to the pen tool and anchor point tool it became challenging to understand for someone like me who is a visual learner. Once i got the hang of how to use this tool it became fairly easy to use.

Pre-logo design

Always draw your logo designs in black and white first with paper and pencil. This allows for simple corrections to be made. Once you are satisfied with your design go to sites such as adobe illustrator or photoshop to do the final product with color

using fonts that are “everywhere” else
- colors don’t fit at all together
- the logo is too busy (too much detail, color and so on)
- it has no personality
- it looks too much like another logo

Logo Design Guidelines

A logo is a graphic mark/emblem used to promote your company or brand towards the public. It can be a symbol only, a symbol combined with text or text written in a certain way (font, color etc). This leaves you with an extreme amount of creative freedom. It should stick in the minds of people.
