About 2 days ago we got introduced to the pen tool when I heard about the pen tool I thought oh this was going to be easy since I used the pen tool in making the badges. But no it was the opposite of what I thought, there was a whole lot more to it. Mr.B showed us how hard it was to use a simple pen, he showed us how to make the line straight, how to make a circle by using the curves, and how to change the direction by pressing alt. Once he was done showing this horror of a pen we needed some practice. So he showed us a game called The Bézier Game, this game was really extraordinary. It helped us how to use the pen tool in many kinds of ways and how to create specific things. But for me, I had trouble with the last bit which was making the car, I really hated that part. But overall the pen tool is going to be hard to use, but Mr.B told us that with enough practice we can get use to it.

Now let me tell you more about Adobe Illustrator and how I really love using it. Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor, people use this to make ethier logos, cartoon, fonts or other things as well. In class, we learned the basics tools, we used the selection tool, direction selection tool, the shape builder tool and the most important in my opinion the shape tools. With these various things we created a wonderful amazing pizza, Mr.B showed us how to make a well fine pizza with a tutorial. We started by clicking on the shape builder tool and clicked on the polygon, now i know what your thinking how the heck are we suppose to make a pizza with that well if you go to the shape builder tool icon you can see a polygon, you click and it will tell you how many sides you want, of course, we need to make it 3 sides and that will be our slice already done!. But there is still more to it like putting color. If you go to the window and go down you will see swatches, just like photoshop where we also had swatches. There you will see various colors, but there is more to it. If you click on this little icon it will take you to a category, there you can pick a variety of things, but since we are doing foods we click on it. Once we added the colors on the pizza we can add the crust and the pepperoni. Mr.B showed us also how to make a perfect circle as well which i thought was very useful. Then we had to duplicate the pepperoni, we used the same method which was to hold the Alt key down. But there was a problem how are we supposed to take the pieces of pepperoni that are extending over the edges, that's where the shape builder tool comes to play. First, we need to select our whole pizza, once we do that we use the shape builder tool and hold the Alt key down and there you can select the parts that are extending over the edges and delete them. And there you have it a nice pepperoni pizza, you can try to add other toppings as well if you want to make the pizza amazing.
The quarter I've been through was working on Adobe Photoshop. But as always there is a new subject we have to learn this quarter, and that is Adobe illustrator. Yes you heard me right we have started a new program and I will tell you a little bit about Adobe illustrator, and talking about my opinions on which is better Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. But first, let's talk about Adobe illustrator, personally, this is a really fun and amazing experience so far, They're are a whole bunch of amazing things and new tools we use now. What's really special about this program to me is how you can use shapes and other things to create a logo or anything else. But right now what I really want to talk about are the many ideas of what I want to do in Adobe illustrator. What I want to make or use in Adobe illustrator is making are own logo. Mr.B gave us an assignment talking about making a pizza, and to me, it was a really amazing and fun experience. I still want to see it happen in the future but it will be fun t make are own personal logo and maybe have a shirt of it, which will be amazing. There are a lot of possibilities that we can do now, but we need to have some more ideas in my opinion that will make it fun and amazing. Now let's get to the real question which do I prefer?, in my opinion, I will have to go with, drum roll please... Adobe illustrator!, now I know what your thinking, I've been with Adobe Photoshop for quite some time now and to me, it's starting to get a little bit boring. I've learned lots of new things about Photoshop-like using a variety of tools and etc, working with it was amazing and was a way for me to learn more about editing. But there is something about Adobe illustrator that makes it really fun. But overall that's my opinion on them, I will see you then.
Summary: - Different ways I could use Adobe illustrator. - Preference for Adobe Illustrator/vector And Adobe Photoshop/bitmap. - Which do I prefer?. |
