illustrator-unit 7 time based filters

I'm impressed with the way this sample creates a 3d illusion.  To create this effect i scanned a sample from my final outcome and use a Photoshop filter called extrude. This sample reminds me of impressionism.

I found this technique fascinating , the wavy effect really stands out. I found this technique easy and quick and came across no problems.

Before i selected ok on the twirl filter  i experimented with the percentage  To see what effect i could create. I feel it came out really well and very effective. I'm impressed with how the twirl makes my piece look very gentle

I feel it came out very well,the filter gives it a very 3d effect,i found it easy to adjust the 3d effect and would use it again.

Overall i enjoyed this unit. I love incorporating computers and my piece together it has given me some new skills and I've learned a lot. it has also given me some great ideas for my final major project. The filters were all very easy to use and adjust.if i was to take this further into my fmp i would experiment with different filters,pick which one i like best and then print it on my fmp fabric. i came across a few problems like understanding certain tasks but i solved them by writing notes and checking with my teacher to see if they were correct.if i was to improve i would of saved the filter samples into patterns and placed them on a fashion flat puff ball skirt. The puff ball relates to my time based project, the fabric i used on the filter was the fabric i made in my time based i took pictures of the fabric being pinned and folder at one point i pined it into a poof ball skirt and loved the effect it gives it would of been more effective if i had used one of the filters on the fabric first then pinned or made it into a puff ball skirt.

Adding brush effects to vest

I loved using the brush stokes it made my vest look more curved and fancy. I found this technique easy to use and i could also change the thickness and thinness of the strokes which made a big difference. Id like to try this technique again as its very effective and i want to know what else i could do with it.

pattern on shoe

I found using this easy . I could make any pattern i wanted and add it to my shoe i could also save it so in the future i could use it again on something else. I found it very effective and would love to try out more detailed designs. id also like to see if i could make my own patter on paper and transfer it onto the program so i can use a more detailed design.

shape sheet

I found using the shape tool much easier as i could just pick the shape and all id have to do is make sure the sizes were right.When using the pen tool i found it harder as i had to try and get the sizes right and the shape as perfect as i could with out the aid of a line tool or shape but i think id need to practice to get this technique just right.When using the dialogue box i found it ok to work with the only thing i had an issue with was getting the sizes right but once i realised that if i did the same size for all of them i could do the technique much easier. I had a problem with the star though it kept coming out looking like the pentagon and i kept trying but it wouldn't work i think i need to work on this one a bit because it would be an advantage in future projects.

drawing with templates

I liked this session its was fun.if i had to rate it on how hard it was id give it a 8 because at the beginning it was a bit tricky drawing round it and learning to use the pen tool.but once i got it i found it easy. I love how it helps you create the exact outline of the boot. I could also alter the shoe as much as i wanted to.  I could make it my own.using this program to create the outline is much easier then using a pen and paper . I  would love to alter different types shoes see what more i could do.

adding details to fashion flat

I  found this technique a bit tricky at first i think id need to practice this a bit more as i feel it would be a useful technique.I also feel that it gives good detail and a realistic look. Id like to try out adding buttons and pockets when i feel im  a bit more confident using this technique.

fashion flats-vest

I produced a vest fashion flat by using the pen tool. I then had to reflect it by using the reflector tool and then i had to join the top and bottom by  going to object path and join both together i had t do the neck first then the bottom.I then added a bit of color by using the color guide.I found this difficult at first but i am a bit more confident now but still feel i need more practice.
