Name Game
Description-Students are introduced to basic Illustrator tools including the selection and direct selection tools, and specialized applications using text (text on paths, creating outlines, grouping and un-grouping), using layers, gradients, symbols, clipping masks, and shape manipulation tools. For this assignment, students must demonstrate knowledge of each of the listed tools and applications in one design that is theme based incorporating their name. The outcome should not appear to be a random showing, but instead a deliberate and well though out composition showing their ability to use the tools.
Students will save their work as both a native .ai file and as a .pdf file to their files1. Students will upload their final piece as a PDF to their ePortfolios Digital Media page with the assignment order number, and with a detailed assignment description (can be copied and pasted from here) and reflection restating what they did, how they did it, and how they feel about their work.
Reflection-
1.For this assignment we really just played with adobe illustrator.
2. I first chose a color for my background, and added an granit. Then I made my name with two fonts. I also used the clipping tool for my big M. After that I spiked the outside of it. The last thing I did was I found a quote online and wrote it on a word path. Then added to bows to the end of it using the symbol spray.
3.I feel like I did good for my first time in adobe illustrator.
