(357) 5 Essential Adobe Illustrator Tools - YouTube

  • One thing I found interesting about this video is that the tools were not complicated to understand their use. One of the tools that I l found easy was the blend tool. This tool allows you combine two objects with any color you choose. It can also combine texts or whatever you choose to combine. Another tool that can be very useful is the color theme tool. This tool is perfect to find the exact colors you are looking for, since you can create your own color theme. You can also see how they are going to look together. One of the tools that I found hard to use was the magic wand tool. You can select one object, and it will pick the same color that the object has. The problem is that there are some colors that are really similar, so it may pick the color that you did not want to pick.
  • I liked this video since it explains the use of the simplest tools. I understand the different uses for the pen tool. This is a great tool to customize letters, and it can be used on a stroke or filled path. The eraser tool is also easy to use, and it is used to get rid of unwanted parts perfect for when you’re customizing individual letters. One tool that I found hard to use was the width tool because it was hard for me to find the right effect that I wanted to give to the letters, but I think that with practice I will be getting better at it.
  • The best thing about this video was that it explained some of the tools that I studied in the two other videos but in a different way, explaining different uses. One tool that I found easy to use and really useful was the smooth tool. This tool is perfect if you struggle with the pen tool, since you can just click and drag over your paths that you have drawn. It will adjust the geometry to smooth everything out. Another tool that is easy to use and also it is very useful is the scissors tool. This tool is used to make cuts along the path. Honestly, I did not find any tool that was hard to use in this video.

Business cards

  Artist Statement In the creation of these business cards, I sought to encapsulate the essence of mindfulness through diverse visual expressions. The varying colors carefully positioned logos, and subtle design effects collectively invite a sense of serene harmony. The strategic use of light colors is intentional, reflecting the tranquility associated with mindfulness. Each card, with its unique artistry and placement, serves as a gentle reminder to embrace a moment of calm and peace. The chosen fonts, coupled with effects like basic feather, outer glow, drop shadow, and bevel and emboss, contribute to an overall aesthetic that encourages mindful reflection. Together, these business cards are an exploration of visual tranquility, inviting individuals to connect with the present and find solace in the art of mindfulness.

BW to Color

Imagen
  In this Photoshop work, I have explored the emotional power of color by creating three distinct versions, each carefully selected to evoke a profound sense of calm and inner peace, inspired by the feelings I experience when I am on the field. From soothing light blues and tranquil greens to the gentle embrace of pinks and purples, these color palettes reflect the serenity I find while immersed in the soccer field. With each color's unique tone, I have aimed to transport the viewer into a tranquil state, allowing them to share in the peace and harmony that nature's colors bring me.
