First Illustrator Project


Artist Statement:


This project was really cool and challenged me to do something different. The prompt for this project was to draw a calligram on adobe illustrator, which is an application that I have not used before. I decided to make an elephant as the subject for this project because I could not use an elephant in my other project and it's one of my favorite animals. I was super confused about what to draw for this project, because I tend to overthink things but I'm glad that I drew the elephant.

I had no idea if I was going to fill the elephant with words or if I would put the words on the line path. It ended up looking way better when it was put on the line path, so I decided to go with that. The reason I picked friendship quotes to outline the elephant was because elephants have a wonderful memory and can remember humans they once knew decades ago. Ever since I learned that as a child I have thought it was really sweet and just associate elephants with friendship. Overall, I'm really happy at how this drawing turned out and it's cool to see my skills develop.

HTML5 CANVAS PROJECT

7.5 hours
Concept Statement:
My initial thought when coming up with ideas for this project was to create an elephant. The piece would feature a simple art deco inspired background with neutral colors. However, as I began the project I started with the background and just kept adding more and more to the design. When it became clear to me that the design of rectangles would be the focus, I thought of ways to incorporate the elephant into the project. But somewhere along the line I made the decision that adding the elephant would only take away from this piece.

In this project I used a lot of repetition, which was inspired from the art deco style.
The shapes I used to create my project were rectangles, triangles, circles, quadratic curves, and bezier curves. Think the use of bright colors against the dark background make the design pop and look as if it's glowing.

This piece is successful because I was able to use what I learned in class and apply it in this project. And even though my project looks nothing like what I envisioned, I'm really happy with the end product. After I got to a certain point I was afraid to add more to the design, because the piece is very busy and I didn't want it to be extremely overwhelming.
