Calendar

This assignment was a small personal calendar about a company, event or organization. It took me forever to finally choose what to do. I originally was going to do something about Drama but I honestly could not find a single thing of info on when the drama team practices. So I chose to do something else. I'm not a huge sports fan but I have been following the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs lately. My favorite team right now is the Chicago Blackhawks so I chose to do a calendar with the schedule of the Blackhawk's games against the Nashville Predators. I found a couple pictures of the Blackhawks and put them on a picture in Photoshop. Then I placed the pictures together in an InDesign file. I put the text in with InDesign. The Calendar part was arranged with tabs. Then I put the yellow circles around the days that games were scheduled. The text at the top was colored the colors of the Blackhawks, Black and Red. Then I took all of the layers and put them in a certain template so I could print it out and fold it accordingly.

Technical Illustration

This assignment was to vector a picture of something artificially manufactured. I chose to do a picture of the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo's ship from Star Wars. I wanted to challenge myself. I originally was going to do something much, much simpler, but then I saw what some other students were doing and I changed my mind. Instead of going with photo realism I decided to make the picture look like it was kind of cartoony. Solid colored shapes with outlines. It took quite a while to complete. I started with the cockpit, then went on to do the satellite, then I did the main body (which was the biggest layer of them all) and then I did the front two parts (whatever they're called).
