vector projects

Someone mentioned I hadn't posted any of this semesters design projects so here are a couple. My last class is tuesday and I am really looking forward to no school this summer. Yeah.

This is the final project we did. Its due on Tuesday. It had to be a "greetings from Austin" postcard and had to contain certain features. Some which look a little dorky. Like we had to make and use a calligraphy and a pattern brush (hence the barbed wire and dorky Texas calligraphy). "Austin" had to be 3D with pictures in the letters. 5 of the 6 letters I used pictures of the austin guitars that I had taken last year and then the tower picture is one I took last week for a work project. I think I met all the criteria for the project. I've found that's really what most of school is about, following directions.

And this was the project we had a few weeks ago. We were given a low res poster file and told to recreate it exactly. And were suppose to incorporate special Illustrator tools. Doing the little teepees in the background with a symbol sprayer was almost the death of me. But in the end they worked. I feel fairly comfortable using Adobe Illustrator now but I still have sooo much to learn about the program. In my "real life" I work more in photoshop.
