Product Sheet









For this assignment, we had to create a product sheet for our previous project, myProduct. We were expected to put information about the product that we made using adobe illustrator. I used the elements of design by using lines to create the border of the sheet and adding color to the background. I used the principles of design by putting enough contrast between the words and the background so that the words can be read, and by having harmony in my project. This does not exactly represent my sketch, since I drew the glasses in different spots in my sketch compared to where I placed them on my final product.

myPRODUCT










In this assignment, we had to create our own product using adobe illustrator. My final product shows everyday glasses that also have night vision, which you can turn on by pressing a button. I used the elements of design by having color, which shows the form of the glasses, as well as a smooth texture applied on the glasses. I used the principles of design by having gradation on some parts of the glasses, which appears to be reflections of the light, to make them look more realistic. I also made the parts of the glasses proportionate to each other, which creates harmony throughout the design. My final product accurately represents my sketch, since I showed them in 3 different angles that I drew them on in my sketch.

myIPOD




For this project, we had to create our own iPod using Adobe Illustrator, showing 3 different angles and including the effect Extrude and Bevel. My final product shows the first angle, which was the front showing the screen of the ipod, the second angle was the side, and the last one was the back. We also had to create our own skin for the ipod, and mine showed a girl holding an umbrella under the rain on the back of the ipod. I used the elements of design by using the color black, which shows the the form of the ipod, and including a smooth texture on it. I used the principles of design by including gradation on the screen to make it more realistic, by making the ipod proportionate, and by having harmony. My final product also accurately represents my sketch.

mySPACE



In this project, we had to make a space around the lamp that we created in our previous project using Adobe Illustrator. We were able to put 3D effects again to create the room that the lamp is in. For my project, I placed my lamp in a typical room, on top of a bookshelf. In that room, I also created a picture frame, a plant, chair, rug, and a window. I used the elements of art by using lines to create the shape of the objects in my room, having value and color, and by showing texture on the flower pot and rug. I used the principles of design by including gradation to show where the light is coming from, as well as by having harmony and variety. This accurately represents my sketch, except that in here, I added the picture frame and the window curtains.

myLamp



For this project,we had to create our own unique lamps using adobe illustrator. We had to apply 3D effects to make our lamps look real. My final product shows a lamp that's designed as a person standing under a cloud. The lamp shade has symbols of clouds and rain, and i also included a symbol of a lightning that's about to strike the person. I used the elements of art by including color, which shows the form of the lamp,value, and a smooth texture. I used the elements of design by making my lamp balanced and proportional. This accurately represents my sketch, except for the lamp shade, which didn't turn out the way I planned it to, and the facial expression in the person, which I changed while working on this assignment.

Emotion- Submission


For this Assignment, we were each given an emotion, with mine being submission. We had to create an icon for that emotion, making it simple and minimal. My final product shows a man kneeling to a king and holding a white flag. Since submission means to surrender or yield to the authority of another, I made the man hold a white flag to show surrender, and drew him kneeling to show that he's recognizing the authority of the king. The elements of art used in my project includes the lines that were used to make the shapes of the king, man, flag, and chair in my project. I used the principles of design by making the objects in my project proportionate. This accurately represents my sketch, since I first drew a white flag as one idea, and the man kneeling to a king as another idea. The difference was that I combined those two ideas in my sketch here on my final project.

stillPHOTO


For this assignment, we had to create a still life image of a particular object in a real picture that we took using the tools Adobe Illustrator. My final product shows a television that I photographed, with branches I created that were coming out of the t.v. I used the elements of art by using lines and adding color to create the form of the branches. I used the principles of design by adding gradation to the branches to make them look more realistic, having harmony and variety throughout the project, and having a repetition of branches. My final design accurately represents my sketch, since I placed the branches in my final design on the same spot that I drew them on my sketch. The only difference is that I planned to add one more branch that I didn't get to create on my final product.
