Creative Spheres

 Creative Spheres 

Circles are flat objects and spheres are 3D. Circles have no depth and spheres can go all the way around an object. 
When I started all three of these projects I first sketched them in my sketchbook. I chose the tutorials based off of what i had done with my sketches. 
Photoshop and illustrator are very different. Illustrator uses vector and saves as a PDF. It also has a better pen tool and you don't have to select a layer to work on it. Photoshop is a Bit map-pixels. It has the marquee tool which illustrator does not have. Photoshop also uses masks and you save it as a JPEG

This Sphere didn't take very long to make.
 It simply used a pattern and the 3D tool.

This sphere was off a tutorial just like the first one. I first created the pattern and then duplicated it and turned it to 45 degrees. After I did that then I started to play around with the gradients to see which colors look best with the background.


















This sphere was my own personal design. I started by making the pattern and then made it 3D and duplicated the layer turning it so it looked round.

Red Sphere

Red Sphere

This sphere was done in Photoshop. I found this sphere harder to create because there are a lot more things you have to add to it to make it look nice.












This sphere was done in illustrator. I think it was
 easier to make this sphere because there are more
 tools in illustrator that are used for shapes.

My Logo

My Logo

 The assignment was to create a personal logo in illustrator. First i started by coming up with ideas and sketching them. I tried a lot of different shapes and styles but these are the sketches of that I chose to work with in illustrator.













I made 4 art boards to work with in illustrator. I started by just creating the simple outline and type style I wanted to use. I then messed around with ideas like dots and colors and lines. Eventually i came across a tutorial to create a feather and decided to try that. After deciding on feathers I tried different arrangements of feathers and styles of type.

Eventually I decided to use the color blue which is my favorite color. After arranging the feathers in different orders I decided to put them evenly in the corners. This has been my process to create my personal logo.

Google

Google

Google was discovered by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998 originally a research project. Google was originally called the "BackRub" project.  The name "Google" was originated from the misspelling of "googol". The google logo was designed by Ruth Kedar based on a Catull typeface and an old style serif typeface. The typeface and colors have changed many times since the name was changed to google.

Captain America shield

This is a shield I made in illustrator using a totorial from Lynda.com. To make this you create the circles and star and the basic shapes. I then used the flare tool to create the reflective effect on the shield. I also put a gradient on the biggest red and blue circles. This creates a darkening effect on the shield.

The chase

The Chase

The scope of this project was to create a 30 shot sequence chase scene. My partner was Sarah Price and together we decided to do a man vs. man story. After deciding this we started to story board our ideas. We completed filming this video in four hours and edited it in 3 hours. While making this project I learned how to follow the person running but connect the shots. Professionally I learned how to collaborate my ideas with my partner on the shots we take. If I could do something different I would have more shots of running and more inside. I would keep the same ending though.
