OUGD402 | STUDY TASK ONE

Today we received our first Personal & Professional Practice brief. It entails an ongoing reflective journal in the form of this blog. It must contain relevant content that I am interested in and inspired by; not just a scrapbook of images.

We also had a study task in groups, and was asked to research a company and make a presentation about them. Our company was Snask. I really loved their design, they had such an interesting and fun use of colour and ideas.

Here is my presentation on Snask:

ILLUSTRATOR WORKSHOP

Today my group, DP1, had our first Illustrator Workshop today. Since I am not as experienced with Illustrator as I am with Photoshop, I've been looking forward to learning all the basics of the program.

It was pretty informative and also engaging. Even though I knew some of the functions and information during the workshop, it was really useful to learn shortcuts and have a more in depth look at the different tools. 

Practicing with these basic shapes and vectors will eventually be critical in the development of our letterforms. During the workshop I experimented with shapes and duplication.
