Calligram Project

For this calligram project, I wrote my letter to show my future self what progress I had made as a person in the last 20 years. I chose to do it in the shape of a heart because it is to show how I feel about myself has changed as a person for the better. On the right side of the heart is the entire letter that I wrote. On the left side of the heart is the message from my letter that I think is the most important and the last line of my letter: You deserve to be happy!! Lastly, I chose for the entire design to be blue as it is my favorite color.

    I think you did a great job with choosing your shape for your calligram because the heart not only is personal but it also allowed you to include a lot of your letter. It is great that you not only included the letter you wrote but also emphasized the part you think is most important.

Photoshop HW 2

Image
 I think it would be very hard to Photoshop myself into this image because of all of the text that is on it.  This gave me an idea for the "Somewhere"project because I think it would be cool to do something in France, specifically in Paris and I like how the Eiffel Tower is still in the photo but not the focal point of the image.  I thought this was really funny because you would expect them to just photoshop him next to her or something along those lines not her dropping him.  This cloud effect is something I might want to recreate because I think it gives a good illusion and adds a lot to the image.

Illustrator Tutorials

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vHKwYhkE7U This video focused on three main tools: pen tool, pathfinder, and typography. The pen tool at first seemed easy to use but looked like it was something that would be harder to master. It can be used for almost anything and you can always go back and change what you were working on. Pathfinder is used to combine any two shapes, once combined you can change the color and size as the shapes are bonded. Typography was also discussed; it is a very useful tool in Illustrator. It is easy to add text, resize, and change color and font. You can also change the entire look of the text to whatever you want it to be.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXIZWii_Ps4&list=TLPQMjEwMjIwMjIh65hw8WVAFA&index=2   This video focused on the pen tool, pathfinder, shape builder, color panel tool and the clipping mask. The creator of this video, Alice Thorpe, says the pen tool is seems confusing at first and not fluid at first. But once you master the pen tool
