Adobe Illustrator Discussion

    In this basics tutorial, I learned a bunch about where things are located on the screen. It was a pretty quick video but very informational as well. I think the text and color tools will actually be very easy. The drawing tools do look tricky though and I think I will have more trouble using that with my cursor.

    I actually used to use illustrator on my iPad years ago to draw cartoons. Some of the tools used in this video brought back memories and I think I can get the hang of trimming out a photo. I used to work with different layers all the time when drawing cartoons on Illustrator in middle school. 

    I like how the man in this tutorial zoomed in on what he was doing and walked us through by pausing and speaking about what he was doing. He used a lot of information to help with any questions we can need while doing it.

    This YouTube video will definitely help with my first text assignment on Illustrator. He explains how to make different shapes in the application and different tricks you can use to make shapes. I really liked when he used the shape tool and pressed down and up and the sides and points of the shape changed. That trick would definitely be helpful to me.

Protect Black Women Poster

I have created a self portrait of me, while making a poster in the process. This poster reads “Protect Black Women” because we are not protected enough. Black women are the most disrespected people on the planet. Most people could care less about black women and we are often looked over. In healthcare, a Black woman is way more likely to die from ignored problems than any other woman. I chose to erase my mouth in the poster to show that Black women are often silenced. I think the font was a good choice to show how bold the statement should be. This poster brings awareness to how Black women need to be protected and listened to, because we are dying with no way to be heard.

  In this project, it represents how I feel about myself. Throughout my life, I have tried to look like other people in order to be accepted in society. I never accepted my curly hair. As you can see, these flowers represent my curly hair, symbolizing the beauty it holds. I've recently come to realize that my curly afro is beautiful just the way it is. The flowers represent me as a person, because they bloom. I am beautiful no matter how my hair is and I've learned to live by that. The plants overall adds an earthy feeling to this piece. I also added a tiara because I believe that I am worthy of any and everything. I've grown to know my worth.

My Personal Logo

       Above I have placed my final logo in different colors. The second picture are the logos that I drew on paper to have ideas in the beginning. Originally, I made the boombox as my logo with footprints to show that I am a dancer. The end result was overall a mess, with too much going on, so I switched it to my final one.     This logo means a lot to me because many people may not know this but it is the chemical compound for serotonin. My main objective in life is to be happy, whether it is dance, giving back, or creating a life for myself. The color purple in the first logo means royalty and I would like to think highly of myself. The second logo contains a sunflower, which is often associated with happiness. Lastly, the third logo looks very elegant and blue associates itself with peace. In order to be happy, you have to have peace.
