Graphic design final

For my graphic design final our class was asked to transform an artistic image into a graphic design poster. First, we had to differentiate between an artistic design and a graphic design. By the end we concluded that art is interpreted while graphics are understood.

To create this poster I first imported a picture of a car from the internet and then used the pen tool and basic shapes tool to create the street. Next I made some simple flowers in illustrator and imported them into photoshop. To create the background i designed a  grass swatch.

Text Tutorials

• In this project I looked up various text tutorials for illustrator in order to enhance my skills in this program. By finding many different ways to manipulate letters I can now make future projects look more interesting with various new skills that I picked up.
• I learned new tricks regarding the appearance tool and gradient tool. I was successfully able to create the effect of raindrops as well as applying numerous boarders around a single image. I  as well developed more skills by using a great number of other tools in illustrator that I have never used before such as the scribble effect.
