Project Description: This was a project that was done in my graphic design class. We were told to use adobe illustrator, which was the first time for most of us. For me I found the project difficult at time because some of the tools on this program were very challenging. I honestly think i did a great job with my spaceship with it being my first time using this program. Also we were given a tutorial to follow. This also made the task kind of challenging because instead of it being shown as a visual it was described in words. It made it harder to follow along because at time it wasn't that easy to understand what the author was trying to get across. My hardest challenge for this project would have to be the wings for the spaceship. In the tutorial it didn't explain in great words how to subtract the other image. But other than that I believe I did a good job.
New Skills, Processes, & Tools Learned:
- Pathfinder
- Shape Tool
- Gradient Tool
Self Reflection: As a first time Adobe Illustrator user, I believe that I did a great job. This project wasn't the easiest to understand and it did take a while for me to get the hang of. I honestly think I could have done better on the flames to the spaceship. I feel that they are to thick and is basically the same size of the actually ship. I also think that I could of done better on the wings. The tutorial was no very clear on how to make them but I think I did pretty good. Other than that, my project came out really good for a first time user.
Part/Proj: 7 out of 10 !
