2D Graphics Lab 8


1. What did you learn?
– This lab had us create a banner for a map in illustrator, implementing the text tool.
2. What was easy?
– I thought the overall set up of the banner was easy. Using the shape tool and duplicates it took a clean form quickly.
3. What was challenging?
– For this I found it hardest to settle on what font I wanted to use, also the color scheme, So essentially just deciding what the theme should be.
4. How could your submission be improved?
– This submission was pretty straightforward. I tried my best to center the text and fine tune everything. I’m sure looking closely I could get aspects like the shadows to be more accurate.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
– I think this was a great way to introduce us to project 4. Nothing comes to mind for this.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
– Countless employers have a demand out there for information graphics. Creating elements like this could be usefully for many tasks.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
– I watched a video online about what fonts are best for information that still look good.
