Art with Amanda

For this project we had to choose a fruit or vegetable to recreate using Adobe Illustrator. I selected an orange to recreate using vector shapes and gradient mesh to make the fruit look very life-like.

I chose to make business cards for a dance studio and a bakery that specializes in cupcakes. I have always been passionate about dance so the business card logo I created could actually be a reality. When I was younger, I always wanted to open up my own bakery so it was really fun working on this assignment overall because I was able to get really creative.

We had to create logos for a business we would one day promote. I made a dance company logo and a cupcake bakery logo because these are two things I am passionate about. 

A calligram is when you replace the lines in a picture with words. I chose to use a line drawing of Hello Kitty and replace the lines with a dance poem. I used a dance poem because it was a drawing of Hello Kitty as a ballerina.

Through the program Dreamweaver we were able to create a picture with simple shapes. By using html code I was able to move, reshape, and add different colors to create the image I wanted. I decided to go with a beach theme and create a background with palm trees and sea animals.
