Logo Practice

This logo tutorial incorporated many skills that I had not previously used, but can now utilize effectively. I am happy with the results of this tutorial.

Personal Logo

Mesh Art

This was a really simple tutorial. I used the mesh tool to form the shapes of the curves.

Logo Create

I really enjoyed creating this logo. The most difficult part was figuring out how to combine the strokes, like the additional lines on the Z and last A. It was also hard to have the R loop through the O, but still have the G rest on top of the O.

Flower Vase

This was relatively easy to create, I am happy with the results. I learned how to use the 3D Revolve tool and worked more with gradients.

Jack O' Lantern

This tutorial was very difficult and time consuming. I gained a lot of experience in using the pen and gradient tools. I also learned how to create new brushes and use them effectively along with clipping masks. The highlights/shine could have come out better, but I am overall happy with the results.

Personal Expression

I really enjoy working with the live trace tool, however it was difficult to use in this picture, and my edges did not come out very smooth. The background is blue-green to represent my relaxed personality and love for nature. I chose orange for the words to show my optimistic side. I have a gradient to represent the difference between the person I used to be and who I have become.
