Self Portrait

Propaganda Project 

Self Portrait

Selfie

 

Artist Statement:

- While working on the project I spent like 4 hours on it. After finally completing it I was satisfied with what I had accomplished. After getting to know illustrator better it became easier to create the self-portrait. I did the propaganda project with a message to save the marine life. I relate to this because I have always been in love with the ocean and I love scuba diving.

    I think that Illustrator is going to be difficult at first, after getting used to the program and being able to play around with different tools it is going to make it easier. Having the control panel at the right of the screen makes it easier to select which of the most common tools you would like to use. The layer panel looks interesting because you can unlock/lock and preview the layer. The rectangle tool will be helpful because you choose t and draw the rectangle.

    Using Illustrator is easier than Dreamweaver. Illustrator is more user-friendly. Having the ability to draw whichever shape you want just by clicking a button is easier than coding and finding out the location. illustrator supplies you with different options that make your life easier. Being able to do a rectangle or coloring different shapes with a click of a button is more convenient than going shape by shape and selecting the color you want.

    From what I see in this video, I can tell you that adobe illustrator tools are a very easy and effective way in which you can create shapes, logos, designs, etc. Although it might take time to learn how to use the program and it might be difficult once you get the hang of it, it looks like a fun and easy way to do proyects. Having this program will make creating projects easier. Having all the tools you need right there on the right of the screen.
