Daily Struggle

Adobe Illustrator
5/4/15
I have never liked drawing and that is why I decided to take vis comm because I heard that all of the work was done in photoshop. After I learned that we would be working in illustrator, which is a program for drawing, I was prepared for the worst. After working in illustrator for a couple of weeks, I learned to like it as much as I liked photoshop. Tracing over a picture and putting your own spin on it is very enjoyable. Trying to follow the lines of the picture was tricky but the imperfections of the lines contributes to the style of the picture.
My favorite part of vis comm was starting to work with illustrator and creating things like I did above. It was pretty simple to do but you could come up with some great looking pieces.
One thing that I didn't think I would like would be the drawing and the painting we had to do in the beginning of the trimester. I thought that I would hate it but being able to draw your ideas in an abstract way and not having to make the image realistic made me appreciate drawing much more.
I also liked the amount of time that we had to work on projects. I never felt rushed or behind in the class, but I was never so far ahead that I didn't have anything to do.
