ADOBE

ILLUSTRATOR

Adobe Illustrator...I have heard of it before but Ive never usedit. So didnt know what to expect coming in to this class. I

thought it would be my hardest class, but its actually easy.

Well there is a lot that you need to know and there are time

when I had to go to the lab over the weekend to work and n-

ish a project. When I rst opened up Illustrator, my professr

told us to familiarize our selves with the tools we would

be using over the course of the semseter. Our rst warmup

was to write the number ve in various ways. First with tick

marks, then the actual number, then the word ve. We kept

doing that continuously until we were comfortable with Il-

lustrator. For those of you who dont know what it is or have

never used, I suggest that you give it a try. Who, knows, it

might be a fun experience for you, just li ke it was for me.

I really enjoyed using Illustrator, it was really fun! DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIVESTICK MARKS, THE NUMBER, AND THE WORD.

Here are pictures of some of the students drawing teapots

out of the number 5. Sounds wierd right? It was pretty

hard to do. But as you can see, they eventually got it. I

think Amy did a really good job(top). Both of hers really

capture the shape of the teapot. . Roxy did a good job

also(bottom right).

DRAWING

WITH

LINES

Text by Christian Rosales

Duffy, Giovanni Diaz, Jordan

Juarez, and Nico Krajecki

These are differnt lines drawings that were done in class.

As you can see, the students used lots of lines to draw

these objects out. This method is called carving out theobject. I will talk more about this method when I talk

about my teapot drawings. The darker lines in the pictures

indicate what area of the object is darker then the rest.

This is showing that the object has value. I will also talk

about this more in my Value Drawings Article.

the darker areas. I wanted you guys to

be able to see the volume of the object

and to see a shadow on the object.

Basically, you should see the light and

dark areas of the pictures.

CONCEPT: Pretty much just to seethe that the pictures have volume, well

if they were real.

CRAFT: I drew various item youcan drink out of and captured the vol-

ume by shading it in. I used paper,pencil, and my desk lamp. I used a

medium gray to ll the whole picture,

then where ever it was dark, I made

that area darker. Where ever the light

hit the object, I just left it white.

COMPOSITION: Again like thelast post, I show contrast. However,

this time your eyes are drawn more to

With these teapots, I decided to start out by rst

getting a basic outline of the teapot. As I got milar with

that, then I went on to draw the teapots

by using a number of lines that go in various directions. Us-

ing a number of lines to draw an object is called carving out

the object. By carving out the object using lines, I am show-

ing the value of the obeject, much like the pictures on page 8.

This was all done in Adobe Illustrator. I know some do look

like crap and I apologize. I was getting used to using some-

thing I have never used before.

CUPS !

Reminds me of Christmas!

Much like the value drawings, I drew these cups by carv-

ing them out by using a various number of lines that go

in different directions. Then I went into adding darker

colors like red for instance. Yes, I know this does look

Christmasesque but it does kind of look like the cups

could be life like. But t he look I was going for was that

they look man-made.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

GOING

GREEN

Text by: Christian Rosales

These are some of my classmates shape drawings. We all had

to take our pictures and play with the color green. As you can

see we all had our different versions. Take Allisons picture for

example (top left), she played around with the gradient pattern

and it turned out great. It almost gives a 3D effect to the picture.

With Nicos (middle right), he made the background dark and

the objects brighter. I like it because the objects, like the shoe,

stand out. And Toms (bottom right) he used the different hues

of green ( dark to l ight) he even went as far as using yellow i n

the mix. Above all, these all look really cool.

Tese three decided to do their Illustrator proj-ects on shoes that they have:Roxy: she did hers on Nike running shoesAllison: hers is on the Converse that she wears

I personally like Allisons because o the color shechose. She did a great job with the gradient pat-terns so that the picture looks lie-like.

SKY

SCRAPPERS

Images and text from Shawnita

Montgomery

Craft: Adobe Illustrator, the brush tool, color and colorgradients were used in t hese images.

Composition: I want the viewers eyes to focus on the dif-ferent colors and the different strokes being used in each im-

age. I also want the t o see how thick the lines are compared

to the others.

Concept: Buildings of different colors and different strokes.

Craft: In each photo I use an i mage of buildings (takendowntown, Chicago) and Adobe Photoshop. Specically the

pen tool was used.

Composition: I want to viewers eyes to fall on the shapesbeing added with in the images. I want them to see both

the colors and the shapes of each image as they change and

increase in details.

Concept: The concept is multiple building and the sky.

HOME SWEET

HOME!

Images and text from

Tom Zwarycz

In this work, I imported an image taken from my phone

(Nexus One) into Adobe Illustrator. The original image can be

seen above. After importing, I traced over the image creating

boxes and other shapes that represented parts of the original

image. I used the line and rectangle tools in order to create

these shapes. I then used the eyedropper tool capture the cor-

rect color and used the gradient tool to add depth and shade

where needed. Actual screen shots of the progress of this

work can be seen below. Each days work is separated into

different layers in the Illustrator le in order to easily locate a

specic shape if needed. This project took a combined total of

about 9 hours from start to nish.

COLOR:

Craft: To variate the colors of the objects, I used the

pointer tool to select certain objects. I then used the

color swatches and different color pallets to change the

color and feel of the work. Again, this is still using the

same program, Adobe Illustrator. I also used gradients

where needed to show depth and shade.

Composition: In some works that use color, I use light

tints of each color to make objects stand out more,

such as windows and bricks. This trick emphasizes

more on the center object or point of interest and less

on the background.

Concept: The whole idea with adding lighter colors

allows me to control what the viewer will see rst and

where the viewers eye will go next. If I make a certain

object stand out by giving it a high contrast, the viewerwill look at that object int the work rst. I also used

color to change the whole mood of the picture, for

example, when I made the photo look like it was taken

in the dark or on the scorching sun.

ALL

ABOUT

ME

Whats up!

Im Christian Rosales and a Freshman and Saint Xavier University. My major is undeclared,

but Im leaning towards Psychology. From middle to high school to

present day, Ive always been a good student.

I get mostly As. I always do my homework and am very studious. Many of my past teachers

have said that Im respectful and a pleasure to have in the class. Although, I dont really partici-

pate in class and sometimes turn in incomplete work or nothing at all. However, Ive changedthat and I make sure that my work is complete and turned in on time. I pay attention in class,

but will occasionally start falling asleep. Other than that, Im sure that I will be a positive ad-

dition to your class. I help my classmates when they need it and will make that class enjoyable

not only for me but everyone. This will be a fun semester!

DOWNTOWN

PROJECT

So from here on out,

things are going to get interesting!

CRAFT: First, I create folder for an image then I open

Adobe Illustrator, create a new document. Now I make

sure the image and document are in the same folder. Next,

I place the image into the document and make sure that I

can see the whole image. I do this by using the magnify-

ing glass to zoom in or out, then using the black pointer

tool to re-size the whole image. After all that, I use the

pen tool to trace the image. However, I start from the

background to the foreground. I try to be careful on the

edges, but where ever I can see layers, Ill be sloppy. After

all that fun stuff, I put the layers in order, and now i have

created my work of art.

COMPOSITION: Since I am drawing from the back-

ground to the foreground, of course, the foreground is what

to u see rst. But what I really want you to focus on is the

picture itself. Basically notice that how something layers

another thing.

CONCEPT: The picture is taken from the day I went to

the Art Institute of Chicago.

This right outside the entrance.

A NIGHT DOWNTOWNIN FRONT OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO!

DOWNTOWN

CONTINUED

CRAFT: Using the pen tool, I traced the outlines of the build-ings and the sky. then moving from background to foreground,

I traced a taxi, the street, and a person walking. I did all on

Adobe Illustrator. Each outline was a different layer with a dif-

ferent color to represent what it was in the actual picture.

COMPOSITION: The rst thing that want you to see iseither the taxi because it is yellow and it stands out. However,

it could be the second thing you see because it is on the far left.

The next closest thing that you would see is the person walk-

ing. But in the future i will make the colors darker to match the

actual picture

CONCEPT: A Night Downtown

COLOR

THE COLOR BLUE! I HAVE GONE GREEN !

One of the pictures had be all about the color green.

I chose the objects that would get a certain shade

of green. I got the green colors from the swatches

window. The colors vary from yellow green to dark

green. I even changed the color of the stroke to green

as well and used the same color options.

WILDCARDS!!!! SHAPES GONE WILD!!!!!

These are wildcard variations about my downtown project.

I decided to think outside of the box with these. I played

with both color and stroke to create these crazy looking

pictures. I personally like the bottom one on the next page

because the buiding outlines go outside of the picture and in

the background it looks like the sun is setting .

SHAPE

VARIATIONS

by. Christian Rosales

CRAFT: So, using AdobeIllustrator, I took my original

picture and went crazy with it.

As you can see with version

1, I changed all the colors. I

did this by using the swatches

window and opening up the

swatches library. I picked

color combinations and went to

town. In version 2, I play with

both color and stroke. For the

stroke, I opened up the brushes

window and chose arrows. I

did the same with version 3, I

just added more , like t he back-

ground is a gradient color.

COMPOSITION: In ver-

sion 1, I chose colors that werevery bright so that the picture

pops out at you and just draws

your attention to all the vari-

ous color combinations. For

me, my eyes go directly to the

building on the left because of

the three colors that were used.

For version 2, the arrow gives

this cool outline and shows

where the line starts and ends.

When I look at the picture, I

eyes go to the middle building.

The white arrow outline stands

out more than the others.

With version 3, the rst thing

i see is the white circle in the

background. It kinda of seems

like a the sun setting in theevening.

CONCEPT: This week, forme, is going to be called: Cre-

ative Freedom.
