Illustrator
Obama-ize
This is my extra assignment for Illustrator. I opened a picture of Ron Paul, created a new layer, and got to work. After planning out which colors I would use, I used the line tool to draw over the main parts of his face and suit. Finally I made up a witty saying after making the title.
Live Trace
This is an assignment where I had to create a live trace of myself. I had a picture taken of me doing a cartwheel and then I inserted it into Illustrator. I erased everything except for my body and reduced it to 20 different colors for a cool effect. For a finishing touch I added some graphics and added some lively colors to them.
Ninja Training
This is my ninja assignment. I drew the ninja's heads and bodies, and added some effects through the path finder window. I copy and pasted a few more body templates to create a small group. I colored some with the gradient tool. The weapons were drew mostly with the line and rectangle tools. At the end I added a background - a ninja dojo to fit the scene.
Vector Face
Before After
This is my before and after assignment, and it was a self portrait. I used a picture that was taken of me and put it into a layer and locked it. I created a new layer and separated my face into different pieces wherever a change in shade of my skin was. I used the eye-dropper tool to color my face accurately. I added hair, eyebrows, and some miscellaneous lines where I found appropriate. To finish up, I added some highlights in my hair from the reflection.
