In this quarter we focused on finishing up 3ds max learning the basics of design, and learning Adobe Illustrator. In 3ds Max we learned how to make various objects using a bitmap. It allowed us to have object with more depth to them and make them stand out a lot more. It makes a simple cube look like a wooden block, a shipping container, or a tesseract. When we learned about design, it allowed for our work to be more uniform and have more meaning to it. This proves useful when making more complex artwork, or simpler work. With Adobe Illustrator we learned how to make things like posters and icons. It proved useful as we could scale anything we wanted up to infinity. The process allowed us to get more fluent with design.

In this assignment I made a lizard using Adobe Illustrator, making a grid and the live paint tool. I learned how to convince shadows and how to make a good design of a pixel character. In the end I'm really happy with how it turned out and want to continue this work in the future. In this assignment we had to make an alternative movie poster for a movie of out choice. I chose to make a Cars poster with a spinning wheel on it. I chose cars as I needed practice with more circular objects, and the idea seemed simple. I wanted to keep the same vibe the movie and still have it look professional. In the end, I really like how it turned out.
In this assignment we did the exact same thing as The Bezier Game, but in adobe illustrator. We traced Star Wars logos, and used more tools. To show that we finished a logo, we make it a different color. We really learned how logos get designed and how they are implemented. he steps to tracing these out showed how they actually make the logos themselves. In this game we had to trace various shapes using the pen tool. We had to click on where a point was to place it. If we wanted a curve in it, we would click and drag based on how we wanted the curve to look. If we wanted a point after a curve, you could press alt and see where you next point would bend to. This game was really challenging as if you made a mistake you would have to go and redo the point all over again. Overall, I really learned a lot about the pen tool with this game.
In this assignment we learned how to make badge icons using adobe illustrator. I increased my knowledge in making simple shapes, as I had challenges with the fishing rod and bucket. This was overall very useful for what Adobe Illustrator is used for. The usage of several tools to make complex shapes really challenged me and made me better at adobe illustrator.. I really like manipulating lines to make certain shapes for the fishing pole. Overall, this assignment was really enjoyable.
