Tutorial No.1: Using the pen tool.

Welcome to my first Blog 

First activity using Adobe Illustrator

Tutorial number one was a fun little task. Reading the tutorial I never thought about making a circle from a base of a diamond very clever idea. I found it quite simple to be able to replicate the instructions provided within the course material provided. 

How did I go?

With this being one of the first things I have created on Adobe I feel like I completed the task as instructed and I feel confident that I will be able to continue using the pen and shape tools to be able to create some interesting art. 

Things I have learnt in this activity:

  • Basics of Adobe Illustrator
  • You can make circles out of diamonds
  • How to create, change and customise shapes
That's all for now.

The only time I drew with a piece of paper and a pencil was when I playing around and drawing funny little doodles that my little sister asked me to draw right then and there. Other then that its all been digital. Since the beginning of

Tutorial 7- Double Exposure Effect

Hello Everyone, Today's Lesson: Double Exposure This took me a good week to figure out what I was trying to do with this. Now I have a better understanding of what I'm doing with this and feel confident to be able to do this technique moving forward with the assessment and even in my own personal projects. Few things that had me confused was the select and mask interface. It was confusing to me because I wasn't sure what did what. My partner was helping me and came across a video on Youtube that really made it easy to understand and it might really help others that aren't sure how to use this feature. Check out this link:  https://youtu.be/pSVeSzzMrKs The second part that was confusing to me was the layer blend features. I've never really used them before and it took me to figure out what mode did what. I kept doing putting the layer blend mode Overlay on the wrong layer to get this effect the example was providing in the material. This was mostly bec
