This was our first project that we had in commercial 1. This is my Zine. We had 3-4 days in class to work on this and we got to chose any theme, any colors, and any way to express what we wanted. We used our gouache paints that we learned a couple days before, water color paper, water color markers, and a fine tip sharpie. With this first project my goal is to be able to achieve different shades and colors more easily and to be able to finish on time. A way I could reach this is to practice more. I learned with creating this Zine, you can be very creative ans you have to think outside the box.
This was our second project that we had in commercial art 1. This is my self portrait lino-cut. We had 1 week in class to work on this and we got to chose any picture, any patterns we wanted. We used a lino cutter, the light tables, and the press. With this project my goal was to make it look realistic and neat. A way I could do this is to take my time while cutting the boards and not rush. I learned with creating this lino-cut, one wrong move and you can take out something you need on the board.

This was our third project that we had in commercial art 1. This is my Geo filter. We had 1 week in class to work on this and we got to chose any objects to digitize that we thought represented us. We used the computers for this mainly. With this project my goal was to make it represent me. I feel that it is hard to make things look exactly as you want them on the computers.
This was our fourth project that we had in commercial art 1. This is my dry etching print. We had 1 week in class to work on this and we got to chose any objects to etch on the plastic.I chose this picture becuase it kind of looks like my gad and i also just thought it was cute. We used a scraper(metal pointy stick) plastic sheet, oil based ink, and the press. With this project my goal was to make it look realistic and actually have people know it is a golden retriever. I feel that it is hard becuase you have to push really hard when etching to make sure when you go to print the gruves you made are deep and will hold the ink.
This was our fifth project that we had in commercial art 1. This is my vector image of my dog. We had 1 week in class to work on this and we got to chose any picture/animal to make on the computer. I chose this picture because it is a picture of my dog, and she was posing for a picture. We used an original image and then the adobe illustrator app on the computers to digitize the image. . With this project my goal was to make it look realistic and look like the original image, look like my own dog. I feel that it is hard because all you have is the computer to make it look real and there is not much you change quick like with a pencil or eraser. It takes time to make a change.
This was our last 2 project that we had in commercial art 1. This is my screen print and my poster for Thomas Rhett. We had 2 week in class to work on this and we got to chose any thing we wanted to print and any poster design we wanted. I chose this picture of the witch hat and bats because it is Halloween time and i love the movie hocus pocus. We used adobe illustrator app on the computers to digitize the poster. With this project my goal was to make it look like something I could print on a t shirt. I feel that it is hard because i had to use an exacto knife to cut it out and it is kinda hard to control.
This is our posters for an event we got to chose.We had close to 2 weeks for this. I chose Thomas Rhett because he is my favorite singer. We had to use adobe illustrator to make the poster and flyer for this event. The place, and date are made up. First we had to make a rough draft of it and then illustrator it on the computer. The flyer is my favorite out of the two things because it looks more professional and it looks more unique.
