Pen tool and live paint excercise

 

The pen tool was used to create a vector of the tasmanian devil. Making sure each shape is closed we go Object = > livepaint => make to group the lines together. Then while having the original drawing as a template the shortcuts i and k were used. These were the dropper and bucket tools, so using the original one can paint the vector exactly in the same colors. Once this was done, select path + expand is done to ungroup the vector lines.

Research

Exercise #1: A client is opening up a new Sudanese Restaurant in Wagga Wagga. You have been tasked with the job of naming the restaurant and designing their logo which will appear on the shopfront. The owner doesn't speak english and is relying on you to come up with an appropriate solution without her input.

 List all of the questions you would like to ask the client on your blog

Create a name for the business

Design a suitable logo

Firstly we must create the design brief by asking various relevant questions. 

We already know that it's a restaurant specializing on sudanese food.

Further questions we could ask include:

-Who are the target customers? (family restaurant? would it be a lounge type restaurant with alchohol? what will be the atmosphere of the restaurant?)

-If possible acquiring some pictures of the restaurants(or potential design of the restaurant) may help the designer create a logo that fits with the overall feel of the restaurant.

-Ask the clients what kind of look they're going for... for example would the name be in sudanese? are the any examples of the type of look they're trying to achieve? 

- Where would the logo used? (shopfront, business card... etc)

-When the deadline of the project is.

-What the budget of the project is.

Business names... perhaps something in sudanese such as 'as-Salam Alaykum' which means 'good day'' 

perhaps a name of a city, for example khartom, kordofan or Blue nile.

For the class excerise, Hot house is chosen and so Hot house will be used for the logo design.

multipage document assignment

For this assignment I'm planning to use the images created from the final assignment and arrange them in a different format. The calendar this time will consist of 12 different pages for each month and it's purpose will be for a flip book type of calendar, that allows you to add additional notes as well. If it were to be printed it will be arranged something like this:

The logo is added for effect :) ... and so here are the pages:

Final assignment

My final assignment is to create wall calendar for the next year, it will be poster size and each day should contain enough space to fill in a date or event. The background of each month will contain a photo I have taken on my trip to Vietnam. Each photo would be individually optimised in photoshop. A template was also created and modified to suit each month of the following calendar year.

Below are some of the photos as the were originally before any modifications.
