Logo Assignment


I chose to do my Logo on the White tiger. I chose to do this because Tigers are one of my favorite animals because along with Lions they're the only Cat that can RAAAAWWWR! <true fact) Tigers are very keen animals they're very mystical and curious creatures. I used the Pen tool to trace my best around the image of the tiger to get the out lines and the inside shapes to make my image look more realistic.

Rhythm Assignment

I created these two pictures on Adobe Illustrator CS6 by using the pen tool along with the line tool. To create the different types of lines I went and changed them up to what ever looked best to my eye. The first picture is steady, meaning the lines go in the same direction but they're not the same quality or direction. The second picture is Dynamic, meaning the lines vary the direction, quality, type, and position.

This is a group art assignment.
I added more contrast and I brightened the photo as well as cropping out the edges and grey scaling it.

Chess Piece


My chess piece was drawn to look realistic, have proportion and value to it. I added really dark shades that are almost black that make the picture pop like it’s actually sticking out of the page. I made my chess piece about three fifths of the page to make it seem like it’s being dragged into an endless black hole. The shading that has been done to my drawing goes from the white of the page to the darkest black gray shade I could possibly make it without warping my page, which makes all creations well drawn too stick out.

            This piece has Movement to it because it looks like the chess piece it’s being dragged into the middle of the page. I created pattern by making an endless spiral that just keeps going into a black hole. This also has created some rhythm too. The focal point in the middle comes out into numerous light and dark sections, this is called Radial Balance.

            Each chess piece drawn had value to it, meaning it has different shades from very light too extremely dark. My piece varies from a lot of dark to whites and greys. My spirals go from really dark and flow out to a light grey giving this drawing the rhythm and pattern it has.

            To be completely honest I had no clue what I was going to do with my drawing, I just kind of drew it off to the side of the page because the rules simply were to draw the chess piece anywhere but in the center of the page with a background that made it pop out. After I was done drawing my chess piece I obviously had to add something else into the back ground so I started off sketching what I thought looked like a continuous spider web. After I did that I looked at it and it seemed to plane so I started to shade the middle as dark as I could make it, and simply kept shading it lighter and lighter to make it seem like my chess piece is being dragged in the center of the page.

            The focal point on my piece is kind of confusing because it may seem that your eyes are led to the center but they’re not! Even though your eyes may be led to the middle of the page, I added a darker shade to the upper part of my chess piece and that makes your eyes wander towards the right hence making my chess piece the focal point.
