Thinking About Color

My favorite color is black. I associate this color with the night sky and looking at stars. I have not always liked the color black, I actually like purple at one point. In fashion, black is used as a good color to use for branding. I would change most bright colored clothes to the color black because some  of them are too bright. Blackberries and most fashion companies have black in them. Black is a dark color.

My least favorite color is yellow. I associate the sun with the color yellow and the sun is really bright somedays which causes it to be really hot outside. I have always hated the color yellow. Yellow is used a lot for clothing. I would not change anything to the color yellow because they are too bright to handle. Lemons are a sour fruit that are colored yellow. This is a very bright color.

Sketches and Illustrator

In this project, we were required to draw twenty different flowers, houses, birds, or trees. I chose to draw twenty different flowers. At first it was easy to find different flowers, it was easy to find the common ones, but after that I had do do some searching. Some of the more exotic flowers that I found were Bells of Ireland and Birds of Paradise.

Trying to recreate one of these flowers was pretty easy. I chose to make a peony, which is similar to a daisy but it is bigger. I used a bright pink to bring out the yell and orange center. I feel like my project looks petty good. I am happy about my work.

Adobe Illustrator

For our first assignment with Adobe Illustrator, we learned how to make basic shapes and how to place color in the shapes. with Illustrator, it was confusing at first but then I got the hang of it and started trying to make more shapes. I learned how to use the shaper tool and how to make a series of different shapes. I also learned how to adjust the shape to have more or less points. Over all i thought this first project was a good base for what we will be continuing to do.




For our second project, I decided to make a pumpkin on a dark night with a sky full of stars. To make the pumpkin, I used two different shades of orange to have a bit of contrast in it. The sky is a dark blue that is suppose to represent the dark nighttime sky. I also put white stars o make the sky pop a bit more and for it to not be so dark.  I think my work has improved from when we started and I like my work.
