Personal Expression :)

This is my personal expressions project :) I chose pink because pink is my favorite color and it gives off a feeling of playfulness and girlyness. I put some dots in the background and made them very light so they do not draw attention away from the text and picture. My picture gave me a couple of problems but i got it done and I think it turned out okay. Pink and Brown is my favorite color combination and that is one of the reasons why I chose for my text to be brown. Another reason i chose brown for the text is because most of the shades and tints in the picture of me are different tones of brown so i wanted the text to tie into the picture. I put the word "skater" in a box because figure skating is a big part of my life and i love it :) The five texts i chose were Trajan Pro, Myriad Pro, Giddyup Std, Mesquite Std Medium, and Rosewood Std. I chose these fonts because they express my personality and are not your average boring texts.

Flower Pot

 

Above is the Flower pot and flower that I made using the tutorial of my choice. i found this tutorial to be very quick and easy. It did not have very many steps and each of the few steps were quite easy and manageable. Overall I feel that it turned out quite well :) 

Snowboarder

This is my snowboarder. This tutorial was not the easiest one for me. It took a lot of resizing and changing and a whole lot of time. I had some problems with the pen tool but overall I think it turned out decent in the end. :)

Vase with flower :)

 

Here is my vase with the flower i made on it :) everything went well except i had a couple problems with the gradient tool and getting the flower on the vase in the right spot. after a little while i finally got it on there :)

Sign/Logo Replica

The Picture on top is the original sign that i was going to re-create. I didn't know what logo or sign to pick and I didn't want to pick something that was common or more likely for other people to pick, and when i found this I liked it because of the colors and feel overall. :)The one on bottom is my replica of this diner sign. I didn't really have any problems re-creating it, the only thing that was kinda hard was finding fonts to match the original ones. If there is anything I could have or should have done differently please comment! :)

Las Vegas Sign

Here is my Las Vegas Sign :) i think it turned out pretty good, there were probably a few things i could have done better, and there are a couple things i could keep practicing but overall i didn't have any major problems
