Self portrait and Magazine cover

For this assignment, I used a circle and sub selected it for the head.  Made ovals and outline the outer area for my eyes with eye lashes.  I took a rectangle and added points to make the eyebrows and sub selected the points.  I made a bigger rectangle and did the same things for the eyebrows, but made it look like my hair.  I used a spiral tool to make the ears.  For the magazine, I used TIME magazine as a base for the magazine,  I tried to mimic TIME as much as I can.  For the facts, I said that I'm learning multiple computer programming languages, I'm both Canadian and American, I hold Christianity close to myself, I believe glasses are cool and make you look smart, and I have a thing for time and always check time and try to be on time.  Also, I added the published date and website on the magazine to make it look more realistic.

Universal logo redesign with color palette

 For the universal logo, I thought about how they always stick with earth.  I thought, why not expand to the solar system?  So I did that for my redesign. I started with the sun by making a circle and then giving it the colors of the sun.  I then made several circles of different sizes. I colored them differently and gave them different fills and textures.  For Saturn, I made the rings by making a rectangle and sub selecting it.  I tried to make this as similar to the solar system as I can.  I used a Julian font for the text.  The top is the business card with the palette, the bottom is the logo with past logos.

Logo Redesign - In Gear Clocks

For my logo redesign.  First I made the clock and what looked like it was open exposing the gears.  I made the Clock by using a dark yellow circle and a black circle as well as using a doughnut shape and other shapes to make the timer area, then I made gears by grouping a circle and several small rectangles together.  For the screws I just did a circle and a black rectangle grouped together.  I made the thick gray areas by using the sub select tool on chamfer rectangles.  I made the text a dark red and used the agency fb font.

Two Fruit - Apple 'n Grape fruit

This is a grapefruit with the inside of an apple.  I call it the apple 'n Grape fruit.  I got this by getting two photos on the internet.  One photo of a grapefruit the other of the inside of an apple.  I used the lasso tool to get just the inside of the apple.  Once I got the inside of the apple, I copied the inside and pasted it on the grapefruit.  Then, I used the distort, skew, and scale tool to get the inside of the apple to look natural.  When I thought my creation was complete, the Apple 'n Grape fruit was born.

Pictography - NES controller

 For my pictography, I chose and N.E.S. controller and made a smaller versions of the controller and duplicated the smaller version around the big controller.  I used the magic wand tool for the smaller controllers to get the black background from the original off the smaller N.E.S controllers.  I then duplicated the controller around the big controller and inside the controller as well as making really small N.E.S. controllers to make the words on the controller.  Below is the N.E.S. controller without the background.  It's called pictography, because you're using smaller pictures of a bigger picture to make one big picture out of smaller versions of that picture.

Black Swan Business Cards - Professional

For my professional business card, I tried to make it look clean, elegant, and better than my other business cards.  I made the font for the text AR Decode.  I made the background black, no effects or anything just a simple black.  I put a wave fill in the swan and made the colors in the fill black and white.  I used the handles on the fill to make the wave fill look right on the swan.  Also,  I added an inner bevel to the swan logo to have a bit of a more professional and fancy feel.  This is the business card that I tried to make look the most professional.

Black Swan Business Cards - Mid Range Professional

For my mid level business card I tried to make this look better than the unprofessional business card but also kind of basic.  I made a blue background with a waffle texture.  I made the text consistent with an AR Julian font.  I didn't do anything fancy with the black swan logo, I just left it how it is, but did the spiky look like the last business card.  I made this card to look better than the first business card, but not as good as my next black swan business card.
