The end of my first class

Today marks the last day of my first class at Full Sail. Over all I think it went very well. I learned a lot and am looking forward to learning even more in the classes ahead. This week we concentrated more on working with the new tools so we only had a project and a practicum to do so I spent most of my week obsessing over those.

This weeks project was a mechanical object. The idea was to take a photo of a mechanical object and make it look real.

Below is the photo of my Mechanical Object that I selected.

Below is my outline drawing of my Mechanical Object.

Below is my finished product of my Mechanical Object :)

My next class is Developmental Psychology and it will be starting January 3rd. I am looking forward to it that is for sure! Well, after a long 4 weeks of working full time and going to school, I am off to wrap some Christmas presents!! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!! Until next time...

End of week three, beginning of final week

Well it has been a busy few weeks, hence why I missed my post for week two. So now, I shall play catch up! This class has been concentrating on the pen tool and becoming more and more comfortable with how it works. We have also learned about shapes and gradients and mesh gradients.

Below is my project for week 2-Movie Poster

We were given a few different posters to select from and then we had to redraw it with the pen tool. Then we added color. We could only use 5 colors not including white.

Below is my iPod assignment, we were given a line drawing of the iPod and then we had to fill it with gradients, mesh gradients, and color to make it look real! Here is my twist on the old iPod.

Below is my project for week 3-Concert flyer

The first picture is the concept that I selected. I brought the concept to life in the second picture with my final product using gradients, color, shadows, blends and mesh gradients.

So far I have been pleased with this class and my grades. I received a B+ on my first project (self portrait) and an A on my second project (movie poster) I have not received my grade on the concert flyer as of yet but I will update you on that next week! This week I have to take mechanical object and bring it to life! See you next weekend with another update!
