Playing with Illustrator


My brother is a senior in high school and on the varsity swim team. The school usually holds a "senior night", where they celebrate and recognize all the senior's on the swim team. Our team usually makes posters for the seniors and it was my younger brother (who is also on the swim team) and my mom's job to make the poster. They had asked me for some ideas and I decided to play around with illustrator with some of the ideas I had. My brothers name is Grayson, but his nickname on the team is "Gravy", so i decided to incorporate that by having a swimmer swim in some gravy! I thought this was a cute little project and it was fun to play around with some of the elements in illustrator.

  This was one of the hardest projects of the semester, simply because I had no clue of what to create. I understood what the project entailed, however my mind just blanked on a concept. Eventually, I came up with the idea of the duality of the brain.    The idea is that our right side of the brain is more creative and free, whereas the left side is more logical and critical. I have alway been a creative person, so I favor my right side (hence the flowers and overall more positive atmosphere of the right side). I find things that require me to think is a specific manner to be difficult, which is why the left side is more dark, with chains and poison  ivy.   Despite my struggles in the beginning, I’m very happy with how the final product came out!

 I struggled quite a bit with this project. Not only did I have to write a letter to my future self (which was surprisingly hard to do), but I then had to take these words and create a picture with them alone! I decided what I really wanted to stand out was the words that I used to describe myself in the letter It was really tricky to get the proportions and angles right but overall, I was really proud of what I came up with. It’s not perfect but I think it was a great first try at a new technique!

BW to Color

  For this project, I decided I wanted to do three color palettes that were pretty different from each other. For the first one, I wanted to recreate the original as closely as I could. For the second, I went completely alien green and transformed myself into something out of this world! For the last one, I went with a really neutral palette of browns and pinks, which turned out better than I expected. Overall, I am very happy with how all of these turned out and this earned me my very first entry into the Hall of Fame!
