Digital Media

Hey All,

Over the span of about 8 months I have been taking a digital media class. Through out the class we have learnt many techniques and on line tips & tricks to make or digital work successful! I have a couple assignments I can show you that we have made in Adobe Illustrator as well as Photoshop. One of our first assignments was a word biography done strictly in tints & shades of white & black. We had to create a poster of mainly words to suit our personalities. I thought this was a good exercise & got the class to familiarise themselves with the program.

Another assignment we did was for the school we had to come up with a S.H.S.M (Student high skill major) logo for the fitness department. We were supposed to keep it simple as it was going to go on many things such as posters, handouts & apparel.  I decided to do an abstract mustang, as that is our schools mascot & tried various colours before deciding on the blue monochromatic colour scheme. I kept the lettering bold so that it would stand out on the mustang & made sure it would be a simple enough image to create in any size as well as black & white.

 In our class we did a large assignment on logos, and recreations. The object of this assignment was to recreate a logo of your choice to your name. I chose Jelly Belly, Honda, & Harley Davidson. I decided on these because they were closer to my name. The easiest one was the Honda logo, I got it finished in 5 minutes. I had a bunch of issues with the Jelly Belly one as well as the Harley Davidson one finding similar fonts & making the odd shapes.

I will post more of my media work as it progresses!
