Technology Assessment Activity #2

Drawing with type

I picked the nursery rhyme Three Blind Mice and chose to create the shape of a mouse 
First I needed to draw a line with the pen tool to create a guide for the text 
It took some experimenting with but in the end I was happy with the finished result

Technology Assessment Activity #1

PHOTO WORD

Take photos and arrange them to spell out a word. This activity seemed simple but it took me a couple of hours out on a walk. I took a stack of different pics and then picked out the ones I thought looked most similar to the letters I was looking for. Can you read it?





Child's Birthday Invitation - Part of the Tech 3 Tracing Activities


This is the last piece of work from the Tracing tasks. 
I needed to create an invitation using only Illustrator.

I decided to do a child's birthday invitation - Treasure Map Style for something a little different!

Everything apart from the text is drawn or traced by me using the pen tool, I really enjoyed doing this :)

Creating my own map of Tasmania

Using Illustrators Pen tool and tracing I created my own map of Tasmania. It took me a very long time, many many layers and experimenting with different effects. I tried to make it a little more modern and exciting than your regular old map. I really enjoyed doing this but at the same time am glad its finally finished! :)

From This...


To This!!

Create a vector logo



In this activity using the fruit shop logo I previously created I used Illustrators pen tool to trace my hand drawn copy and create a digital version


It took a while to get the hang of the pen tool but now I know how to use it it will be very handy for future work.

I overlaid a grass pattern on a low opacity as I wanted to give an earthy feel. I gave the word shop an inner bevel to make it look like it was etched into the dirt.
