E's Digital Canvas

Dear Blog,  The last project for this section is a self-portrait using the gradient mesh tool in illustrator in a creative way sooooo... here it is! I feel like I got the hang of the gradient mesh tool a little better than when I first started but there is definitely still room for improvement!

Dear Blog,  The next task at hand was a gradient mesh of an object of our choice so here is what I put together. It is sort of a rough copy, since I am still getting the hang of it and struggled a little with it but here it is!                    

Dear blog,  I have completed my next assignment, which was to create 5 logos and 5 different business cards so here they are. I decided to apply the element of simplicity and also keep the same color scheme across my series. All of these were done in photoshop, which I have some experience using. 

Dear Blog,       I really enjoyed this assignment working in illustrator. It is a new program to me and so much can be done with it; I can't wait to dive into some more exploration with it. This project was my result of a calligram. I chose to base it off of Keith Haring's work because I love his simple pieces that say so much. The text I used were the love letters between Nathaniel Hawthorne and his significant other. This contrast of classic writing and modern/pop art I thought was interesting but both embody the common theme of love so I incorporated them into this piece.
