Sketch

My Sketch in Adobe illustrator
I sketched an ice cream cone to create in adobe illustrator. I mostly used shapes and color to make my drawing look like an ice cream cone. With this, I used my drawing to have be recreated in adobe illustrator. For this I used the shaper tool to create shapes like a triangle and a circle. Making these shapes required the mouse to form a shape and the shaper tool will do the rest for you.




Creating my Sketch in Illustrator
Creating my design on illustrator was not as easy until you obviously get used to the shaper tool. That or I can't follow directions that well. Anyways, until I was used to using the abilities with the shaper tool, it had gotten easier to use. The process to use the shaper tool like erasing shapes to add other shapes to form something else wasn't as easy as you would think.

Illustrator 
How I think with illustrator is more on the iffy side. To think on the realistic side, using illustrator for a logo design for a company or job would be great to use. Having it used for drawings or to create something on the fly isn't how feel about it. I'd rather be free drawing show my skills than using an application. but I'm probably saying this because I'm still not used to using Illustrator.

SketchBook Drawing

Artistic point of view and details

     For my sketchbook drawing, I mostly went for logos over typography and also having color. Though I didn't color the background because I was to lazy. Anyways, I chose logos because I found it representing what graphic design can be. I also didn't know what else to draw that shows typography and found it easier to draw up with logos. Now for the color aspect, I wanted to give something that represents the logos in their own way. That and people would most likely be annoyed with the absent of color. Since I don't have a lot of color to begin with. 

7 Key Elements to Graphic Design

     How I used the 7 key elements to my sketchbook drawing is to show what my drawings are about overall. Like the use of color that brings out the logos to make them look appealing. This also follows with texture and contrast. Then using size and shape, my sketch can end up covering space that I want filled or having shape that gives logos a unique sense of style. Also having to use value for the logos light or dark aspect of itself. 

What I liked about my work/Sketching process 

     The fact that I'm able to free draw over something I like is the greatest thing in the world. I liked the way my drawings looked then something I would draw back 4 years ago. I also enjoyed what kind of logo I was able to draw like the Nightwing logo or the Batman logo. Now for the sketching process, I went for trial and error for each of my drawing. This also gets me better to draw the same drawing to make it look good.
