Self Portrait

This was another face oriented project. Instead of using words to form our face this time, we used the paint brush tool in Illustrator. Carefully choosing our stroke types, opacity and hardness, we recreated everything from our hair to our teeth using entirely paint. The color dropper played a very important role in this process, ensuring that our colors matched very well. The last part of this project was to create, using the paint brush tool again, an interesting background.

The flower was the most fun to create.

This project was the most difficult of the semester without a doubt. It required us to write a letter to ourselves from the future. The words from this letter would be used to make up our entire face, making it look as realistic as possible. To ensure the reality of this picture, we had to use the color dropper, transform tool, and other tools. My choice of font was based on it's fullness and ability to curve well when transformed.

This project was one of my favorites because compared to the last two projects, it was actually challenging. We were asked to use a new application called Illustrator to vectorize an image. I vectorized a cartoon character. This basically means, making it less pixelated, in fact non pixelated. The catch to this one was that we had to use as few points as possible when select certain parts of the image. The final image almost looks exactly like the original image. That was the goal.
