Vector Text Effect (Blogging Assignment No.5)

Vector Text Effect

Glittery Text Effect

As you see, it does not look like a silver dust that glitters and shimmers. But somehow, there are some similarities on it, the original of the effect and my version.

Colorful Text Effect

I had fun making this effect. Aside from the clear steps or instructions in the tutorial, it is fun because it is easy and some of the steps are keep on repeating hence, I already memorized some steps. For me, it looks like the original, not looking at the colors because I revised it with my own colors but there's a little bit you know, wrong in making my background.

What Did I Learn?

I learned was again to be patient in making and following the steps. I almost want to quit making the effects because almost all the effects in the site were difficult for me as a beginner. Even though it has a so called status, whether it is for beginner, intermediate and difficult. I found it difficult. It is important that you have your sincerity in making this kind of activity.

My Insights Using the Adobe Illutrator

I am having a hard time using the software. Why? Because I am not familiar with the tools on it and the pasikut-sikot on the said software. But I came up with a conclusion that soon before the summer class ends, I will get used to it. It is like in Adobe Photoshop, at first I do not know how to used it, until certain activities and lessons that is related to Photoshop were taught to me.

The End

Logo Design (Blogging Assignment No. 4)

MY LOGO DESIGNS

 Lettermark Logo

As you see, my logo contains two letters which are "M" and "D". These letters stands for my name which is "Margaret Dugenia" I think the stroke in my logo is very obvious and needs to lessen the stroke's size or lessen the opacity of it. I used the brush tool in creating this logo.

 Wordmark Logo

At first, my wordmark design was only my name. But I was not contented in the result of it so I think about what theme or kind of logo I will gonna create. Until I came to an idea to design about fashion since I like watching collection of nice gowns and sometimes illustrating them. Using text tool was commonly used in this logo. Duplicating some words to be their highlight in the back and changing its color and opacity.

 Combinationmark Logo

In my third logo design, I mixed up some ideas in my first two logos. As you see in the left corner, I got it from my first design and change its color. But I did not duplicate it using the first design I only duplicate or get the idea on the first design. And the design "Fashion", I got it on my second design. I used brush tool in creating this logo.

What Did I Learn?

In this activity, I have a difficulty in getting an idea. For me, it is better that before you make a certain design especially your own design you should think of a theme to what your design is all about then sketch it. But in this case, I first make the design in the illustrator before sketching it because there was no idea coming up in my mind when I was creating my logo designs, which is wrong but not wrong literally. It's up to you if you want to sketch it or not. But my ITMM teacher told us that it is important to sketch it first so that it won't be a waste of time. I also learned the steps of creating a logo which my favorite step is the fifth step stating "Seek an inspiration".

Webpage Design (Blogging Assignment No.3)

My Website Design

My Webpage Design

The layout I made was a hard task for me at first even I follow the steps or tutorial on the same layout. It consumed my time when I was doing the header or banner. I always redo the banner until I was satisfied in the result or the outcome f the banner. We were asked to put logos or to do our own theme copying the layout in the tutorial. But I made a little mistake doing it. As you see on the upper left corner "YourWebsite", I forget to change that in my own site and the slogan itself. 

One of the things I learned in making this activity is being creative or having creativeness. I said so because you cannot make a perfect copy like the original even you follow what is on the tutorial. It uses you to think or to create another thing that matches on what you are doing or what you are copying. 

The only insight I have while making my website design using the Photoshop was tiring. It was tiring for me to use over and over again the blending options with the same effects in every part of the layout I am making. But I applied what our teacher taught as. Using the "Action", it made me easier to just click on it to the desired layer that has blending options. It was less time consuming after all and less energy consuming too.
