Activity 2 - Adobe illustrator Abstract Art Shapes, Order and Opacity
I learned how to use opacity to create multiple squares of different colours and put them together to create a blend affect. This picture looks similar to a painting in my opinion.
________________________________________________________
Activity 3 - House Attempt 1
I learned how to use the basics of the pen tool to recreate simple shapes such as squares and rectangles to recreate the house and yard from the Simpsons animation.
House Attempt 2
The second house attempt felt a bit easier to do but I still found it pretty difficult to make everything line up properly I did use the add anchor points and select tool to line some things up but it didn't fix everything just some things.

Activity 7 - Simple character trace pen tool
This activity was very similar to the jets assignment where all we had to do was make a trace of a simple character that we found online I choose to makes this interesting weasel/otter looking animal that looks like a mime.

Activity 8 - Complex Character Trace Pen Tool
This activity was exactly like the last one but it took considerably more time since I was paying attention to detail I would say some of my faults with this recreation would be that I couldn’t figure out how to create blurred blood on his mouth and also the red eye I don’t know how to recreate in its original detail I have to do some more studying in my future traces of complex characters.

Activity 9 - Alignment, Size, and Colour
In this activity we had to recreate squares to be the exact same colour and size as indicated on the photo. We were also told that we had to separate and align them by specific measurements.

Activity 11 - Logo Design for ACEM
Rough Idea for ACEM
Finished Logo Design
For this activity we had to create a logo for a company that was switching its name. Since it had to do with manitoba I added the province in the "A" and also Added wheat as a little nod to the prairies of Canada.
T-Shirt Mock up
Billboard mock up
In this Activity we were asked to design a logo for a company called ACEM and make mockups to show what it might look like had it been the actual logo and how it would look in the real world to people if it were an advertisement or piece of clothing.
Activity 12 - Original logo 2
Rough Sketch
Finished Personal Logo Design
In this activity we were asked to make a rough sketch and a finished version of our own personal logo. I Fooled around with the pen tool to make the letters as for the hour glass I just thought it might look nice if I added one and so I tried it and kept it. I added the circle because it looks nice and simple I made a similar circle design before and thought I should do that look again.
Activity 14 - Quiet Sign for Library
For this activity we were ask to make quiet signs for our library I kept it simple and easy since your just trying to get the message across I used the schools colours as the background.
____________________________________________________________Christmas Card Design Activtiy
Pre Christmas Card Design
Finished Christmas Card Design
For this assignment we were told to create a christmas card so I used an animal that lives in the cold and is cute so I thought of polar bears and penguins but I like penguins more and I made him looking like he’s having a snowball fight because why not.
