Graphic Design Pencil

My Personalized Pencil

Pencil in a Can

My Personalized Pencil, Pencil in a Can, and From the Moon to the Sun were pretty interesting to make. I got to learn different tools and options when using Adobe Illustrator. When I got the Adobe Illustrator first set up, I got to learn how to make my own workspace bigger or smaller depending on what is going to be in the workspace.



I started to figure out how to make the right size for the starting shape of the pencil and started using the many different shapes that make up a pencil. I started selecting the different areas/shapes and filled in the certain colors for it. After I got the regular pencil done, I coped and pasted that pencil and then edited it.

For my personalized pencil I found a really interesting pattern that looked kind of Hawaiian or tropical to me. It seemed like a very flowing and relaxed pattern, so I chose that one. To make it look like it was writing, I had the pencil look like it was writing my name. After I got my "tropical" pencil done, I had to think of a personal creative piece.

From the Moon to the Sun was what I came up with. It took me a few minutes to come up with something that would seem creative and kind of simple so I thought of the Sun and the Moon. I had to think of how it would tie into everyday life. So I said,"It is better to think big and bright, rather than dark and small."

I really hope everybody likes my design/project. I'm looking forward to hearing from everybody's comments below on what they thought about it.

From the Moon to the Sun

Bouncy Ball Animation

The scope of this project was to get a feeling of what it is like to make an animation and how to add certain effects to make it look more realistic. My process of doing this was getting all the materials I need to set it up and using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. I learned how to make 2D sketches into 3D sketches and make them move and come to life. I was having some trouble at first, but I started to understand better along the way. I would have like to add clouds, make the grass move a little, and fix the color of the grass but I was worried that it would mess up the way my ball would move and look. I would keep the ball and the sky the same because it helps bring out the effects and colors of the ball the bouncing. My experiences that I will draw from to enhance my next project would be the different values of the sky, ball, and grass and the movement of the different backgrounds/layers. Overall, I thought my project turned out well. I hope in my future assignments I can add more effects to my animation.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is the "Language for Living." Graphic Design can be beautiful, emotional, quirky, ugly, invisible, interesting, special, expressive, memorable and many more. A definition of using words and images to create a message. Graphic Design is EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! It is on newspapers, televisions, books, movies, boxes, and so much more! The most important thing to remember when doing Graphic Design is how can this help change the world. It is being able to turn something ordinary to extraordinary.

SketchUp Movie



This was my first time with using SketchUp and making an Animation. It took a lot longer than I expected it to be. I was struggling a lot at first, but once I got farther into it and started using the many different tools, it was pretty fun. I would say I had a lot trouble with the erasing because I would accidentally erase something that I didn't want to be erased and then would mess up. Overall, it was an amazing experience with learning Animation on my own for the very first time.
