What Does Ellie Look Like In Illustrator?

This is my final project in Adobe Illustrator. I really had no idea what picture I wanted to use. I thought about using one of my own picture but I could not find one that I could honestly say I liked too much to change. So I went on Google imagines and find my favorite animal. An Elephant. I am not sure why they are my favorite but I love them. They are super adorable and really can defend themselves. But with this elephant I had not idea where to start. I ended up starting with the body. I drew the outline first but I wanted to make the elephant look like it had darker shadows. So I made the body, head, and ears all different colors. I then drew in lines so you could see the wrinkles of the elephant. I am extremely unsure about how to make this work. But figured lines were the best thing for the wrinkles. The back ground was my next challenge. I really wanted it to be blurred and kind of light looking but I was unsure of how to do this. As you saw from two posts ago, I originally just had the lines drawn out and the grass colored in and same with the sky. But then in class we learned a new way to make stuff blurred. So thats how I got the back ground to be slightly blurred and was able to make the colors different as I made the colors go up a little bit. The sky is also a blurred color. I actually really am proud of this work. I never thought I would be able to make something that looked like this. I am happy with the improvement that I made on each of the new pictures and how it progressed into something that is much better looking. 

NEW ELLIEE

I redid the back ground so now its more blurred. I like it so much better than the original background I had! 

ELLIIIEEE

Elephants are my favorite animals. I love the way the elephant looks but I want to make the grass look realistic. Ideas on how to do that??? 

My Gator Hunter

In class we folded up the a piece of paper in thirds. We first started to draw the face and then we passed around the piece of paper to different people and they drew the body. Then we passed it again and someone else drew the legs. Lastly we voted on three as a class to draw for the project. I chose the one with the elephant head because I love elephants. Then I thought the alien body was funny so I wanted to keep that. Then the bottom was a gator hunter and the legs are just funny. I thought it was just something interesting to see an alien with an elephant head, hunting gators. ENJOY!!!

Extreme Health Official Logo

This is my final logo. I had a lot of trouble deciding how I wanted to make this logo based off of my sketches from before. My original idea was having the fork, knife and spoon under the name of the company. I traced the fork, spoon and knife from the image on the bottom. I had trouble deicing which tool to use and how to trace it. Making the lines even was kind of difficult. But based on the original idea of the fork, knife and spoon being on the bottom I decided to lighten them. Then after the peer reviews a few people told me to put it to the side of the name. Then I thought well maybe I should make it not so transparent any more. But then when I was putting it together I thought maybe leaving it will be better so it does not draw away from the name. I am not a complete fan of the name but I decided to leave it because it talks about health. I chose this font because it really stands out and many people can see it. The saying on the bottom sums up everything that the restaurant does. I really like the colors because the green is kind of the first thing you think of when thinking of health. I chose that as the utensil color because it is what you eat with. I like how it goes from being dark to light because it gives it a different feel to the logo. I chose the red because it stands out among the green and it is the first place you look when you go to look at the logo. Over all I am pretty proud of this project and I am looking forward to making more with this logo.
