Gift Boxes

This is my worst one so far. Working with the 3D Effects was really difficult for me. I could not get the wrapping paper to look right or the ornaments on the paper to have a more solid fill. I also do not like the ribbons, I should have put more variety in the gradients. This tutorial was very lengthy and more difficult than any of the previous ones.

Strawberry

Strawberry image! I thought this came out particularly well, especially the leaves at the top. The only thing I don't favor is the awkward gradient on the chocolate drop at the very bottom.

Holiday Ornament

This was pretty easy, but it had a lot of steps. I really like the way this turned out.

Dirty Water Drop

This was fairly lengthy, but simple. If I were to do it again, I would change a few colors, but that is about it. I am happy with the finished product.

Argyle Pattern

I created the argyle pattern and gave samples of it in three different sizes. This was an easy tutorial, and I am pleased with the results.

Foundation Logo

This was a relatively easy logo to create. I used the shape of an actual CIA badge and added the words of our school's program. There is also a gradient in the navy to add interest.

Business Card


Front: basic and simple but not plain. Logo stands out and text is easily readable.


Back: a slight gradient in the background adds interest and the contrast between the grey and blue and white makes the text stand out.
