Tutorials,Yay!



  1. I figured since we were working on our Logo projects in class I would do the tutorial titled "How to make a Logo". This site is the same one that showed me how to use the mesh tool and I really liked the way they explained things,so hopefully i'll have similar sucess.
Like the mesh tool I did have some success with this tutorial. I've used a drop shadow in photoshop before,and now I know where it is in illustrator!
I didn't make the most impressive logo ever, but it was really fun being able to play with the text.
This tutorial did explain most things really well,though when the author choose the
<- "soopfresh" font I wasn't sure how he got there. http://www.jt-book.com/illustrator/




2. I wanted to work on my pen tool skills some more,so I decicded to try out the video that Kate sent us on it.
The video explained the pen tool very well. It was made for beginners(like me!) so it was nice that it was easy to follow. I didn't get a ton of new info, but there were a lot of great tips for short cuts.

3. So I tried the create wood grain texture effect on illustrator tutorial. It was going alright until about half way through when I got kinda lost. It seems like a cool effect so I think i'll give it a try again on another day when I'm not as sleep deprived.
