It was a joy to be able to put all my work together from the semester. I was not expecting how fun it would be to see all the hard-work and new techniques that I learned all come together in this way. Learning the importance of color combinations and how to create my own icons and posters were the highlights of the semester for me. What I learned from the class is its never to late to learn new software and you might surprise yourself with what you find fun.

Description of the project and what I learned:

For this project we were tasked with creating an event poster for a community event in our area. I decided to go with an event poster to promote a annual bowling event at6 my childrens school. During the design process for this project I learned a lot about what paying attention to a cohesive color palette can do for your design. I also learned that alignment really can help you create a more polished and finished look to your work.

Description and what I learned:

This project was my first experience using Illustrator and oh what a journey it was! I thought food, how hard can it be to create food icons. I was wrong, it is hard. The icons where to be used for a infographic about a topic of our choice. My first thought was that it would be foods associated with Thanksgiving strictly and that quickly changed as I learned to use the program and create groups and shapes. it was a fun introduction to Illustrator.

With this project we were tasked with creating an infographic and highlight the icons that we created. What started as a project about food turned into a project about the season of fall its self. I learned how to use white shape and highlight information in a way that flowed and connected to the images as well as all the information on the page.
