It's over.

After this course I'm way more familiar with Illustrator. I learned so much and I had fun with it. The best part was to notice that I can turn my ideas to an illustration with computer. Sometimes it's even easier to work with computer because trying different ideas and undoing is so much easier. I also learned to use wacom which I find very useful. I learned some things in Photoshop also but to me the main point was to learn to use Illustrator.

The exercises done in the classes were very good because with them I learned basics. It was good to have only two major tasks because that way we had enough time to do them. I got a whole bunch of new ideas from other student's works as well as from pro-illustrators websites.

All in all, one of the best courses ever.

Task 2

Task: Create an illustration for C-diverse magazine for a article about copyright laws and internet. Article
is not ready yet, so you get only one of the main aspect from the author. This is: Why should we pay for music in the first place?

If you use Photoshop, you may use only photos (at least 10 different one), drop shadows and draw lines with paths. (I used only different photos.)

Result:
This was so difficult task. That's why I changed my plans and used photoshop and a new idea instead of Illustrator.

After all, here's my piece of illustration for C-diverse mag.
Even Britney is stealing music.

I need some help with this...

This is what I have done this far. I was having problems with the idea because downloading and such aren't that concrete things.



Some ideas how to make this better? Any?

Task 1

Task: Design a mascot figure for Allergy and Asthma Federation's website for 5-12 years old asthma patients. Mascot must be able to do somekind of human-like acts and face expressions. You have to do your mascot in 3 positions (front and side view+ in action). Because the mascot is used in website, it has to work well in pixel size 100x150.

Result:





In the pixel size 100x150:

Exercise E

Task: With Photoshop create an illustration of a person by combining at least 5 different photos from internet.
Make two versions of this person:

• stylish (elegant)
  
• ordinary (everyday like)

Result: (I'm not sure if got the idea right, because my pictures aren't that exaggerated - or weird. Maybe she looks a bit too put together - if it wasn't the idea :) But I enjoyed making these!

This probably isn't the first thing that comes to your mind if you think ordinary or everyday look but in New York it is :)
