Week One of Design School

Hello Everyone!!

Well, I have officially finished my first week of Design School! Yay! I feel really good about this week and all that I have learned. I was expecting a week of torture and late nights ending in a very discouraged Emily but surprisingly enough I did not get overwhelmed and I finished the week feeling very encouraged. I started my week with a full day of videos, tutorials, and reading assignments on day one. I then took the next few days to experiment with project one and end up with a finished project that I am rather proud of. I was impressed that the weeks work really prepared me for my week one project. This week began my adventure into Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool. The pen tool allows you to draw and create curves and lines that then create shapes.

Below, is one of the tutorials leading up to my project.


Below, is my first project--
Week 1: Project 1: Self Portrait
Using a photo of me, the pen tool and a monochrome color scheme I created my Self Portrait.


Because Thanksgiving was this week, my work for week one is not actually due until Monday (Nov. 28) but everything for week two is due friday (Dec. 2) so it is going to be a busy week!! One week down, three more to go!! See you next week!!
