Week 13 April 26... Working on Projects

The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens,
a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
Ode. - Joseph Addison

Miles Davis Poster I, II, III
Another Music Poster I, II, II
Logo Design for Oscars Artichokes

I like spiritual musics.
Thus, my another music poster project will be...
BlueSpirit, the Spiritual Music.
The theme is the same idea of my artworks which convey spiritual ideas.
Right now,
I'm working on my Website
combining Web Design and Flash Animation Class.
I would like to publish illustrate class works, too.

BlueSpirit music poster will contribute...
not only a part of illustrate works,
but also writings of world of ideas
which I've spent most of spring time
on English II class works in 2005.

Week 11 April 12... Logo Project

* On Love
Love each other as God loves each one of you,
with an intense and particular love.
Be kind to each other:
It is better to commit faults with gentleness than
to work miracles with unkindness.
- Mother Teresa



Logo project

Layers give you a lot different effects that it makes life easier.
You can create different ideas in saveral layers, you can see the the differences by cliking eye icons in each layer.
you can create the unique atmospher in color using transparency with gradien.

Week 10 April 5... Scissor and Knife tools

Creators seek solutions
Creators accept responsibility
Creators take action
Creators try something new
Creators "choose to" do things



Scissor and Knife tools


Using the Scissor and Knife tools and the Slice command

Using the Align and Control palettes

Align tool is very much useful to arrange objects neat and organize.
However, If you have compound cells in one obuect, you might need to group them first.
If not, every single cell apart to line up.

Joining and averaging anchor points

Using pen tool has a lot of challange ways to make object either accurate or simplfying with less anchor points.
If you can draw object with less anchor points, it will reduce the file size.

Grouping and ungrouping selections

Grouping and ungrouping objects are handy when you apply the effects together or indivisual.
Especially with Type tool, ungrouping letters mank you to change each letter shape individually and then group them back, you can still rearrange wherever you want as a group.

Using rulers, guides and grids
