What did you learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before this project, I have never really experimented with Adobe Illustrator, but now I feel more comfortable using this software. Now, I know how to create patterns and create logos using Adobe Illustrator. Also, my skills with the pen tool have greatly improved since I used the pen tool to create the Byrne Dairy logo and the coffee cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was easy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was surprised to find that making the pattern for this project was the easiest part. Due to other labs and projects, there were many techniques that I was able to apply to this process as well. For example, in the previous project, I created a pattern from a photo I took and was able to use my knowledge and skills from this project to apply to my current project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was challenging? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the hardest portion of this project was creating the Byrne Dairy logo and also drawing the cup. Throughout our other projects and labs, I have struggled to master the pen tool. For this project, I was challenged to better these skills, so I could create the final product for this project. In the previous lab, I ended up having to redo the cow layer many times until I realized that creating the least amount of points possible with the pen tool allows for you to have a better and cleaner final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could your submission be improved?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To improve this submission, I believe that I could have made the Byrne Dairy logo better. When closely examining the logo after putting together the mock-up, I have started to notice that the letters could have been enlarged to more closely reflect the original logo. Also, some of the letters overlap and I could have moved the letters a little further apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could the professor improve the assignment for next class?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To improve this assignment for next time, I think it would have been interesting to see a demonstration on how to create more patterns in Adobe Illustrator or to learn other techniques to enhance the qualities of the patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can use this knowledge and apply it to my future career in journalism. As a journalist, you are expected to have multiple skills and I can apply these skills to create logos or artwork to accompany articles. Also, as an editor at The Griffin, I can use this knowledge to help our layout editor to put together our paper since we use Adobe Illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project, I was inspired by a class video that I ended up re-watching to help me with this project. In the demonstration, the final product had swirls in the background and used a font that appeared to be brush strokes. By taking into consideration, the product that we were creating, I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate into my own project. Also, I did some research online and found a drawn image of a coffee cup that I ended up re-creating for my own project. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
