Logo

This is my personal logo i made in illustrator it has my initials. 

I chose a very linear logo because it is unique and you don't see that very much. I had a sketch that was similar but it didn't have the A in a linear manner. I learned how to use the gradient tool even more. I think i did the color scheme really well because they blend together. I'd say that i could change the background color to something different. I need to work on gradient tools more.

The Pre Launch to google was in 1997 google changed there logo color scheme many times.
as Ruth Kedar says "We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order, we put a secondary color on the L, which brought back the idea that Google doesn't follow the rules." this color scheme is the one they use today which was launched in 2013 and continues to be Googles logo 
they started with the idea of keeping it like this: 

There original logo ^ when they first had the idea in 1998

Here is my font it gave me it's called Courier its a very relaxed style of font. This was the easiest project we've had. My actual screen shot was deleted for some reason.

Today i finished another Animation, its a Robot with very weird colors and limbs, it's in a crab walk pose which made it very difficult to animate walking because it could only go so far before it would stretch out and look unnatural. As for the arm's i kind of gave up and just went with it.

Getting the keyframes to work was a problem because every time i would attempt to edit the keyframes they would duplicate for some reason, the answer to solving that problem was to restart completely. As for making him move i used the Deform tool the whole time which is a bit difficult to get the same movement over and over again, besides that i prefer to use the Deform tool because i have lot more fun animating with it.

3 Things i learned while animating his walking movement:
1: In order to get a smooth movement with the deform tool you have to use the Keyframes that are displayed on the screen and keep the movement going back and forth
2: Its helpful to make Compositions inside of Compositions
3: And also the Deform tool is very unreliable
If i could redo this project i would spend more time on the way he moves and perfect it.
With the overall Animation i'd say i'm ok with the Animation but i feel i could do better with more time

Today i finished my Worm Animation where you see the worm inching across the screen. I learned how to use the puppet movement tool on Adobe After Effects, i also learned how to use the Pre Composition Settings.

This was our first project of the year, it was to make a pencil and cup we made it in Adobe Illustrator.

This was our second project where we made our own pencil using Illustrator:

This 3rd project was something we wanted to make on our own using illustrator:

3 take aways:

1. when using the polygon tool you can change shapes by using arrows

2. To round an object you need to use anchor points

3.you can use the live paint tool to add color
