Gradient mesh post





For this project I wanted to do something that is an everyday item that anyone could find in their home. I looked around my kitchen and immediately found a banana. I thought, "a banana is perfect, I eat banana's all the time!" I then thought banana bread is my all time favorite treat. So I thought a banana could not be more perfect. That's is what made me realize I should make a banana. There wasn't much thought put into choosing the item other than that. At the end of the day I think I did a really good job on this banana. I am very proud of how it turned out actually. I think it looks very realistic and is almost exactly like the picture I based it off of. If there is one thing I think I could improve, it would be that I wish I put a little bit more detail into the stem of the banana. I tried to do this but I had a really hard time with the gradient mesh tool cooperating so I just decided to give up on that and focus more on the highlights of the banana. The one on the left is mine, and the one on the right is the original image.

    Jacoby, I think you did a really good job at making the lighting on the banana look realistic. I'm sure it was difficult to mess with the gradient lines and get exactly what you wanted. Did you try adding a line on the top part like the original? Overall, this is a very realistic creation of a banana, there are a lot of things working in this image!

business cards final

For the business cards I ceded to go with a basic, and simple design. I tried to make it most appealing to the eye by keeping the design simple. I believe that business cards should be simple in order to get their purpose across. The easier they are to read the more likely the person is to contacts the card owner. I wanted to make the cards colorful because the logos themselves were colorful and happy. Overall I am pretty pleased with how the project turned out and it wasn't too complicated to complete.

          For this assignment I was really inspired by my daily life in this current situation of living through the corona virus. Now you might be slightly confused and asking yourself, what does she mean by this? Well, when I say I was inspired by my current daily life I mean multiple things influenced this project. The first being that I have been almost feeling like a robot lately, living through the same routine, waking up, eating, doing homework, showering, and then rinse and repeat. Living through this pandemic, has made me feel I am living the same day over and over again so I thought "what a good way to represent this feeling."And decided to photoshop myself into a robot. So then I thought what would I look like as a robot? And my mind immediately came to the terminator movies. I basically used the terminator as a basis for my project. All in all I think I did a pretty good job on this project and one can definitely get what I was going for through looking at t

Logo post

Before I started my logo I had a really difficult time determining what exactly my logo should look like. Narrowing down specific aspects of my personality that make me, me was extremely difficult. In order to help me figure this out I had to ask several of my family members and friends to describe me in 3 words. The most common words that came up were: happy, fun, and friendly. I took those three adjectives and ran with them, to create my personal logo. I decided to go with a friendly and happy face to showcase happiness and friendliness, with a colorful hair symbolizing my fun loving characteristic.   I think I did a pretty good job on this project. If I would have done anything else to make it better, I probably would have changed the face a bit. I would have made it a bit more complex and not just simple lines. Other than the face I was pretty satisfied with my logo as a whole. I tried to make the logo as simple and appealing to the eye as possible, since I knew that t
