Modern and Post-Modern art styles poster

Modern and Post-Modern art styles poster

        In CyberARTS, we were given the task of creating an informational poster that included at least 10 different art styles (7 of them were ones that weren't presented during our "Art Styles" presentation, 3 are ones that we did present). To create my picture, I used Adobe Photoshop CS6. Below is the picture of the poster that I created.

Seen to the left: a picture of my "Modern and Post-Modern Art Styles" poster that I created.

        In conclusion, the poster assignment was very structured (a grid, specific measurements, consistent sizes and fonts, and composition were key in creating this poster), but I enjoyed the overall product of what I created. Overall, the assignment was a bit intricate, but I enjoyed the process of creating it as well.

StarWars game cover and disc

          In CyberARTS, the year two's and three's were given the task of creating a StarWars game cover and disc design in preparation for the annual "TDSB Skills Challenge". I used Adobe Photoshop CS6 in creating this, as well as InDesign as a later step in the process too. Seen below are the pictures of both the game cover that I created as well as the disc too.

          In conclusion, the assignment was fairly interesting, and although I won't be attending the annual "TDSB Skills Challenge", the assignment was good practice in helping me hone my skills and become more aware of different ways to arrange photos in a composition as well as text styles too.

Light bulb re-creation using Adobe Illustrator CS6

Light bulb re-creation using Adobe Illustrator CS6

            In CyberARTS, we were given the task of re-creating the image of a light bulb using shapes and the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator CS6. Featured below are the steps that I used to create the image as well as the original and my photoshopped image too.

Step 1: The first step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to open up a new Adobe Illustrator file and drag in my image of the light bulb. I then deleted the layer lock on my image and duplicated the layer. I then began to work on the duplicated layer for the rest of the assignment.

Step 2: The second step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to select the pen tool and trace around the outer bulb. Once I finished tracing the bulb with the pen tool, I filled the shape with grey paint using the "fill" tool.

Step 3: The third step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to create the base at the bottom. I used the pen tool to trace the base and I then used the gradient tool to create the illusion of having shadows and highlights while shifting around where the lights and darks would hit.

Step 4: The fourth step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to use the pen tool to create the four highlights on the bulb and the electrical foot contact (the little bump at the bottom). I then filled the highlights with gray paint and changed the outline of them to gray as well as filling the shape and stroke of the electrical foot contact with black paint too.

Step 5: The fifth step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to use the pen tool to trace the filament on the inside of the bulb. I traced around certain areas and created a gradient using separate white shapes and filling certain parts in with paint (white paint and varied shades of gray.

Step 6: The sixth step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to select the layer of the bulb's shape and use a gradient on the left side that consisted mainly of shadows to create a more "3-D" look.

Step 7: The seventh and final step that I took in re-creating the image of the light bulb was to save my file of the re-created light bulb as an Ai file and as a JPEG.

          In conclusion, this assignment was quite meticulous, due to the lack of practice that I've had with Adobe Illustrator CS6 in general. It was a curveball for sure, but allowed me to learn more about Adobe Illustrator CS6 as a whole. I'm pleased with the overall product f this assignment, and I hope to learn more about using Adobe Photoshop CS6 in the future.
