Principles of Art

This project was to see how well we could make a 3 demensional box for our project before this one. I really enjoyed this project because it showed where I am on my ability to use illustrator. I chose to make the box the way it is because I wanted to make something that would catch the attention if you were just walking down an isle. The color to me is what makes this box good, I also put the best seller on there because it makes the product look good whenever it is rated as one of the best products in that industry. I put a barcode on it because everything has to have a barcode so it can be scanned and priced at a store. The hand in the background represents the glove which is what the product is. I obviously put my original logo on the because it has to be on the product.

USA Today Article Layout

I chose to do this USA Today Sports article because it was a simple layout that I could add my creativity to add my own stories to this article. We did this project on Illustrator and this was by far the hardest project we have had in here. I now know that i have a lot more work to do. I made up a story about a young high school kid named Michael Logsdon who is supposed to be the best Quarterback in the nation because i thought it would be something fun to work with and it was. I also made a side link about President Obama because it would get a readers attention like the real side ads do on a normal website. The layout of the original article and my article are very similar. The hardest part of this project was getting the heading the same way the USA Today articles was because I couldn't add my own little "pizas" to it, so copying an idea is a lot harder than making your own.
