Calligram Project

Image
Hours: 8 est. My calligram is inspired by my favorite poem, "'Hope' is the Thing with Feathers" by Emily Dickinson. It was published in 1891 but believed to have been written in 1861. I knew I wanted to create a bird but I did not really know where to start. I ended up starting with the tail and working my way up. The  hardest part was the wings, as I had a hard time making them look natural. However, I think it is pretty obvious that this is a bird. I did not honestly really enjoy this project, but I think that is because I am still adjusting to Illustrator. When I become more familiar with the program, I will enjoy using it.

Illustrator CC Tutorials

There are many tutorials online for Illustrator CC. I played around with many tutorials online in order to familiarize myself with the programs. - The first tutorial I used was a basic one by Adobe that showed the basics of Illustrator. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/how-to/ai-basics-fundamentals.html?playlist=/ccx/v1/collection/product/illustrator/segment/designer/explevel/beginner/applaunch/ccl-get-started-1/collection.ccx.js&ref=helpx.adobe.com - This next tutorial is all about using the pen tool and helped me practice with becoming familiar with it. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/how-to/use-pen-tool.html?playlist=/ccx/v1/collection/product/illustrator/topics/drawing/collection.ccx.js&ref=helpx.adobe.com - This last tutorial is about typography and adding text to my projects. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/how-to/text-basics.html?playlist=/ccx/v1/collection/product/illustrator/segment/designer/explevel/beginner/applaunch/ccl-get-started-1/collection.c

Canvas Project 1

Image
Hours: 12 est. I am very proud of the final outcome of my project. I had never used Dreamweaver, and the thought of using code to create an original idea was very daunting. However, after learning the basic concepts of code and using trial and error, I started to really enjoy using Dreamweaver. I created my image with arcs for the ice cream, abstract shapes for the background, and too many lines to count. In the end, I had over 2000 lines of code. My piece is successful because I paid attention to detail and used precision when creating my design.  CODE:  <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <script> window.onload = function() { var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas"); var context = canvas.getContext("2d"); ////////////////////////////////////// start below this line ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ //background var x = 0; var y = 0; var width = canvas.width; var height = canvas.height; context.begin
