Craft and Composition In class we were transfering a drawings of lines to illustrator. This drawing is of a dog house. I started with little lines and worked my way up to the the bigger lines, which became closer to together as the lines became smaller and smaller. This creates the feel of a dog house.
Whos in the Dog House?

y Line Craft and Composition
For the 100 line assignment, I first drew out the objects on my paper using 100 lines. This drawing took more time because I was figuring out how big and small each line should be. I also was trying to figure out how close to together the lines should be to make the shape of the object. Drawing the object by looking at it was difficult. It took many attempts to get the portions down by using lines. Finally I realized that if certain lines were closer together and smaller it gave the drawing the shape I were looking for. As you can see the lines at the bottom start out large and then become small. After that, the lines get close together and gradually get bigger toward the top of the object. This process helped me show the curves and the different proportions of the object I was drawing.

ABC...1,2,3
Craft and Composition The tools I used to achieve this ABC drawing is Illustrator. I used the pen tool to create a unique font for my ABC’s. I first made the ABC’s normal and enhanced them by adding my own style. Some of the letters you can see have pointy edges making the letter different from a usual version . I also add some squiggles to certain letters like O and Q. The font that I have created is called Vampire-Ninja. The color I added to the front is red, which is on the inside of the letters. The outline color of the front is black. The black color is stylized with a charcoal outline which adds a creepy , vampire look to it.

Halloween History
Craft The First draft of my Halloween image started with tools from Illustrator. I used the shape tool to create the body and the eyes of the pumpkin. I created the stem by using first the shape tool to create a square and then the pen tool to bring the stem to life.

Composition The words were also used with the pen tool. I added the orange color by sing the fill and the stroke. I used the word Halloween as the mouth to give the image itself meaning along with the letters. The letters stylized made the mouth creepy and gave the pumpkin a Halloween look to it.
HISTORY This version of the pumpkin I added style to the eyes to bring them out and also a chalk style to the whole pumpkin to add contrast to the orange color. I wanted the black chalk style to match the style of the letters that spell out Halloween.
Halloween was known as an ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, it marked the end of a harvest season. They believed that this transition period from fall to winter was a bridge from the world of the dead. The Celtics believed that the ghost of the world would return back to earth and so the dressed up in animal skins and had huge bonfire to ward off evil spirits (History.com Staff).
Trick-or-treating probably originated during the All Souls’ Day parades in England. The poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family’s dead relatives (History.com Staff).

Craft I trace this Illustration based on the one of myphotographs. I used the shape and pen tool to trace this picture. I made shapes with the pen tool by starting with the eyes then the mouth, followed by the nose and so on to create the face. I used color by using the eyedropper to match the different tones. When I made the shapes to develop her face I focused on the shadows and tone them a darker color, I then added outline details, like the shape of her face.
Composition I began drawing different shapes based on her clothing and cape to bring the character to life. Then I drew shapes based on her arms and hands, I toned them based on shadows as well. I outlined the tree and added different shapes inside the branches to give a real texture look to it. The background is a black square shape that I created with the shape tool.

Craft I used tools in Illustrator to create this timeline. I used the pen tool to create the different graphics, creating one graphic at a time. I created the hand, wolf girl, candy and soul cake all separate and combined them all in one composition. I used the shape tool to create the background and the circles to hold the history stats. I used the text tool to write out the history analysis. The colors I used I tried to correspond with halloween.
Composition I tried to create a timeline based on the clock to show that candy evolved from soul cakes and the mask evolved to certain halloween costumes wore today. The hand is the starting point for halloween because its represents Samhain believing that dead came back to life. I want to change things up to show what I am trying to say better regarding time. Also, I might change the title to make it represent the data better and change the origination of the graphics as well.

Craft I Illustrator to create my timeline. This version I changed so that it looked more like a timeline. The circles represented the data of the history. I used the shape tool to create the circles that the data is in and the actually clock. I used the pen tool while tracing the different objects that represent the data. I traced the shadows of the objects to create each of the details in the different objects. I used the type too as well to write out the data and write the different numbers on the clock.
Composition The different colors that represented on the timeline are used to be spooky and contrast each other. The colors also represent the holiday Halloween, which is what the timeline is related to. These colors red and black are giving the info graphic a high contrast to actually catch someones eye.

A Snowy Escape I used a Nikon camera to capture this landscape. The ISO is high so that I could capture the snow falling. This photo is made up of multipliable exposures making this a HDR photograph.
This landscape was taken of a frozen pond and forest preserve full of snow. I am taking this photo from on top of a hill so I could capture the whole length of the pond. The snow is so deep that you really can’t tell where the pond edge is because how much snow is on the ground at the time.
