No Jocelyn today.

The ed fella poster was due today.  This was my poster.

Carlos showed us how to add a clipped mask: make a p

ath, place an image, select both and then go to object-> clipping mask -> make(open apple + 7)

He then showed us that objects can have multiple fills and multiple strokes.  Make an object then open the appearance panel, click on the triangle in the appearance panel and add a new fill or add a new stroke.  From there you can select the new fill/stroke and go to Effect -> Path -> offset path to offset any fill/stroke in relation to each other.

No jocelyn in today.  Carlos taught us some stuff on illustrator: patterns, pathfinder, and gradients.  Our in class assigment was to make 4 6x6 inch patterns and merge them into one 12x12 inch image.  This we then needed to put on our blogs.  Here is mine.

Today we learned to use the pen tool to create curves.  I finally know how to make a frickin curved shape.  We also learned how to import illustrator vector shapes into photoshop.  We then went over making an animated gif using the vector shapes
