Palm Tree Shadow

 Shadow

The shadow I have created is of a palm tree. I had created the shadow using Adobe Photoshop. First I had duplicated the palm tree then used a gradient that went from dark to light from the base of the palm tree.  

Pattern

The inspiration of my pattern came from a tutorial that I had found on Youtube that showed how to duplicate an object around a circle. I had gone for just a simple radial circle that shows the "whole" person my personality show. The triangles would represent the "edgy" side of me like spikes.

Motif

The motif I had come up with was some form of a bullseye that has something like an explosion in the background. I had used the ellipse tool on Illustrator and had expanded the ellipse to make the explosion. The bullseye was just a simple circle that would be getting smaller towards the center.

2 Things That Go Together

2 Things That Go Together

Two things that I had seen that were similar were a dialog clock and a digital clock. Both of them show time, but in different ways. I had thought of the idea because whenever we are in school all we do is look at the time to see when school ends. I had also created the time from the date of my best friends birthday. 

Pencil Project

Pencil Project

Part 1: 

The beginning of making the pencil had taken multiple steps, but it turned out pretty good. The pencil was really fun to create because it was cool to see that multiple shapes and turns made the pencil come to life. The cup was harder to make because I couldn't figure out how it was being made.

Part 2:

The second part of creating your own pencil was a lot more easier. I had already made the pencil and the cup so this time of making them again. It was difficult trying to find out what colors went together and the page was a figure of the main idea being in the center of it all.

Part 3:

The last part of designing something with the pencil was awesome because I had thought of the idea of buildings. The idea was to make the pencil and the cup become buildings in a city. I then added some clouds and a sun for the page to make it look like a city.

The concepts to being a Graphic Designer is to bring out the creativity and inspiration that you keep inside and be able to draw it out on paper.

The best part about graphic design is that we can create moments that everyone will remember.
