this video was very quick and simple while in depth with how illustrator runs. it shows the basic tools and how to create shapes. the speaker speaks clearly for the listener. the video shows how to use multiple art boards and pages at once. he shows how shapes use colors and strokes and the different forms of strokes.

Somewhere

Image
 This is my somewhere project. I used the most memorable take from the movie Kids made in 1995 by Larry Clark. A movie about teenagers living in New York City in the summer of 1995. I inserted myself on the left side of the image. I used a picture that was already taken. I had trouble taking a picture that matched the lighting of the scene so I edited the image of myself to match it as much as possible. This image was the best fit because i was walking in the same way the actors are walking and it is more natural than a staged picture. I also felt that my outfit and look in the picture was nearly identical to the way they look in the scene in the movie.

bw to color

Image
 For my black and white to color I went with the Monochromatic, analogous, and complementary color schemes from the adobe color wheel website. This project was quite hard to execute and follow due to the mess of layers I was working with and when I realized I was screwed and couldn't execute the project the same as the tutorial It was too late to restart and go back.  This image also very troubling when it came to cutting the masks on this image especially around my hair. the shirt had a few words on the front that I felt the professor would find inappropriate for class. the finger board was very hard to mask correctly and the organization of the layers troubled me a lot too.

Portfolio

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18vOi0XENj4FERS0KxJQFKgMGA405w370/view?usp=sharing This is the link to my portfolio. I am unsure as to why Blogger wont let me embed the pdf doc. or upload a pdf document.  I used some images of smoke flares I made years ago and never used. I wanted a very professional look to my Portfolio. I feel that my portfolio is a very strong project and showcases well what I did in and worked hard on in this class. This class was very lengthy and it is hard to think it is over already. It was a nice touch at the end to see all my work layed and out and i am proud of my self and what I accomplished in this class. I tried to show my personal art style through everything I made wether it was understood or not. I think minimalism is the cleanest and clearest form of art and that you can say a lot more with showing a lot less. Thank you Prof. Roundtree.
