Exercise: Illustrator Owl

This exercise only took me forever. It was absolutely tedious, but it covered so many tools in Illustrator, that it was worth it in the end.

Exercise: Light Text

This one took me longer than it probably should have, but once I understood how to use the Color Dodge Mode (in Photoshop), everything fell into place.

Exercise: Casino Lights

I had a few problems with this exercise, mostly because I was unable to download the necessary elements to do it correctly. But overall, I learned a lot of the fundamentals about working in Photoshop.

Exercise: Bristle Brush Apple

This was a pretty cool exercise. I learned about using different brushes in Illustrator, and I came up with a nice, painterly result which I would not have expected from a computer.

Book Project: How to Get a Date

This project was my first experience with Adobe InDesign, but I also used Illustrator and Photoshop. My idea was to create a step-by-step parody on how to get a date. I had my sister and her friend dress up for a photo shoot. Then, I manipulated the figures from the photos in Photoshop and the backgrounds in Illustrator. Here are a couple of pages from the final product:

After I was finished with my images, I placed them into InDesign to lay everything out with text. I am quite happy with the result.
