exercise 1 

For this excercise we had to use the Pen tool to trace and 

replicate the letter “C”. This exercise thought us how to use 

the Pen tool in Adobe Illustrator, and therefore the much 

needed lesson in basic shape drawing in the program. 

Step 1: Use the pen tool to trace the two C letter shapes. 

Step 2: Recreate the Funky C and Chunky C letters without tracing 

over the sample.

Project 1 

In this project we were told to design a mask. 

The mask I created was more based on the cartoon and 

grafitti style. Therefore i created a monster and tried gettin 

vibrant colors that would make it pop-out. 

We first started out sketching out 5 different masks on paper 

and then choosing the best one and scaning it in to the pc. 

With the scanned mask we had to trace over it with the pen 

tool and vectorize it. 


exercise 2 

This was an exercise in Adobe Illustrator using the Prime 

Point Placement method to nicely create the shape without 

rough edges and corners. 

I traced a oral scroll image using the pen tool and then 

cloned and reflected the scroll to create a pattern. I also 

used a gradient to create the background. 

4 


Project 2 

For this project we had to find a picture or two and trace it 

with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator and changing it 

completely from the original picture. 

5 

The main concept behind the project was to trace images 

and make it not look like the original. 

With mine I chose to do a bear and place them in a car 

that I traced as well, making it to a weird illusion. 


exercise 3 

The purpose of this exercise was for us to practice the Clockwork 

Method and get fimiliar with that work style. 

For the exercise we had to trace a monkey head using the 

Clockwork Method. I took it a little bit further and added a body 

for the monkey head and a tree for it to hang from.

flagler College 

Established 1986 

Project 3 

For this project we had to design a T-shirt that could 

potentially be sold in the legacy story here at school, as a 

Flagler College Gear. We had to use the Flagler College logo 

in the design. My personal favorite would be the one with 

the lion wearing the sunglasses. 

7 

We had to sketch 5 different designs and then choose the 

best 2 out of the five and then vectorize. We also had to 

trace a shirt of our choice to put the design on. 


exercise 4 

For this excercise we had to use the Pen tool in Adobe Photoshop 

to create selection around an object as a path. This path would than 

make it simple to cut around the object. 

With using the pen tool in Photoshop, I discovered that it is not easy 

to adjust your handle bars once you leave the point. 

8 


Project 4 

I chose the phrase “When in Doubt, Travel!” for this project. 

We had to find a quote or hprase of atleast 16 characters 

long and had to make the lettering out of the negative 

space left behind when using different objects that had 

something tho relate to the frase. 

9 

I chose to use objects, like yachts, passport, sunglasses, all 

object that relate to travel. 


exercise 5 

Part 1: Hawaii postcard 

For this first part I had to recreate a sample of the Hawaii 

postcard in Adobe Photoshop. The basic task for this exercise 

was for me to make selections and make cut out. 

Part 2: My Postcard 

I chose to do a postcard of my Island Hometown, using the 

same concept and ideas the Hawaiien one. Layers, and 

composition was the key for this assignment. 

10 


Project 5 

For this project we had to make a surrealistic composition, 

with 6 different pictures, either from online or your own 

camera. No illustration was suppposed to be counted in the 

six images. Before making the composition, you had to 

research a surreal artist and base our composition of off 

his style and work, but you were not allowed to use any 

direct aspect and parts of the artist. 

11 


exercise 6 

The purpose of this exercise was to practice working with Adobe 

Illustrator smart objects in Photoshop as well as applying texture 

to text. The phrase “Retro Toyz” we had to apply a texture on 

top of it. As you can see it looks a little rustic. 

I had recreated this image identical to the example one we were 

given in the intstruction.

For our last project we were given a list of books and had to 

choose leader our in the favorite wild. one, we then had to re-design the book 

cover for the book. I chose to book “Call of the Wild”, by 

Jack London, as my my project book. 

For the Project we had to use 7 different images, each from 

different eras in history to make the cover. 

This project proved to be harder than i anticipated, and 

brought on quite a few challanges with finding pictures from 

the different eras.

This shows a very interesting 

example of text manipulation

pen tool and the gradient tool.
