Project #1

This project was about creating three postage stamp designs based on one theme. My theme, retro telephones, came out of no where. I was just messing around in Illustrator and somehow ended up with the orange telephone. I was able to use my Wacom tablet a lot on these three pieces, which is awesome because the last time I used it, I think, was a few Christmas' ago when I made my niece and nephew coloring books. If you don't have a Wacom, get one!

So, up until this project, I haven't seen any of the other students work. We have to do critiques for the Projects so I was able to catch a glimpse of some of the other work in the class. Yikes. Its almost like some of them didn't even try. I think this class is a blast! I feel like I'm catching on quickly. I used to believe that anyone could use programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, but I guess I was wrong. There is still a lot of artistic insight involved. I still have a lot to learn and I'm looking forward to it.
