Crappy To Snappy Pt.1


     So here you can see a website for Classic Reflections Car Club. There purpose for this website and their club is to raise money for area charities and enjoy the hobby of collecting and restoring old cars. Now as you can see there's not much to this website and that all the information is scattered everywhere. It's not very appealing to the eye and it just doesn't capture my attention. The logo is just way to big and the choices for font and color don't really work together. So what I plan to do to make this website better is one keep the logo, but make it smaller. Show some of the cars that are featured, change the font and color, the design of the whole website to make it look new and more attractive to the eye.

Illustrator Map (Japan)


  So for this project we went in illustrator and created a map of a place of our choosing. I chose Japan as I find the buildings there very interesting to create. Although this is my version of the buildings, I tried very hard to recreate the buildings as close as I could. I think the most challenging part for this project was creating the buildings themselves as you had to use your own creativity to construct the buildings as you would see them. I would use the shape tool, pen tool, and the direct select tool to create the buildings to get it a certain perspective. I spent weeks on this project, but I was pleased with the end result. Overall the project was challenging, but it it taught me a lot of techniques I could use later in the future for other projects similar to this project.
