What I did on my Summer VA CA

 

 

I’m back!!!!  I never really left ,  I was just dormant.  I knew I should have written a few posts  this past summer because I found some really good info, most times though,  I placed it on the link on FB .

During the summer I worked on Illustrator, leaving my coding to only a few solitary moments hoping magically the coding fairy would hit me with her wand and I’d know it instantly  turning me into  Super coder,  complete with  cape and all.  In my dreams,  it doesn’t work that way. and besides I’ve  hardly started,  I’m not  give up that easily.

I noticed a few tutorials while on FB, on Vectortuts, if you “Like”  them,  you’ll get hit with more than you can keep up with.  I tried the challenge of designing a cassette face, I made two.   A little odd considering we’ve moved on past the cassettes ( I still use a few ) , but they’re cute.

Okay, so these are my Cassettes, I could ‘ve  worked on more but had other things to do,  you can find these and more on Vectortuts,  besides my focus needs to be on  gradient mesh, I have lots to learn, so if I’m going to learn anything new it’ll be that.

This cassette was featured on the Vector Tuts website.

Later on in the summer I was looking at a lamp in my home and decided to try designing it as well as an old Regulator clock I used to own.  I know the gradient mesh lessons  will come in real handy to create that “pop” we hear about.  ( All work copyrighted bbwd )

I’m digging through my Design Image “trunk” and trying to see what else I can come up with…my  American Flag.  That was a challenge, but since I finished it I know how I’d approach it next time around.

I’m sure there is more, but I’ll leave it at that..needless to say it was a good summer and I even made it to the beach.
