Project 2 – Poster

  • What did you learn?

Working in Illustrator, I was able to learn new ways to manipulate text as well as use clipping masking efficiently with patterns.

  • What was easy?

Coming up with the color scheme as well as a general idea of how I wanted the poster to look.

  • What was challenging?

Personally, trying to figure out why the clipping mask wasn’t working as well as finding a type of type that I wanted to use. Once I was able to figure out clipping mask, it was fine. Though I don’t know if I’m completely happy with how the text came out

  • How could your submission be improved?

playing with the pattern more would probably make the background look better.

  • How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?

Increasing my knowledge of illustrator, and adobe, can help any projects I do in the future.

  • How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?

The mini series over the garden wall was the inspiration for the whole project. The color schemes of the show and autumn in general helped decide how I was going do this project.
