Understand the Terms, Harmonies, and Meanings of color
Initially we used several tools in illustrator to create 5 or more 12 segmented color wheels that we would be able to use in our color theory infographic.
The goal of this project was to crate an infographic representing the many terms, color harmonies, and color meanings. Able to use elements from the color wheels project I created a Color Theory Infographic using the information provided.
Styles of Design
The goal of this project was to explore graphic design styles (1890-1975), delve into Generative AI in adobe illustrator, master creating/editing repeating patterns, and perfect global artwork recoloring for cohesive designs.
Initially we created seasonal patterns as an exercise prior to the full project
The goal of this project was to create patterns using the text to vector function in Adobe Illustrator that represent five styles of design provided to us. The styles of design these patterns are based on are Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Atomic Age and Psychedelic. After I used the recolor function within illustrator to achieve the desired colors that would correspond to their respective art style.
