AI Snowflake

We worked on a project in Adobe Illustrator where we made snowflakes by starting with a line and copy and pasting all the parts and linking them together. I made my first one (the bottom) with a less spiked look and a bigger open center because when I started I didn't know how much I needed to do to it and how big I needed to make anything.The second one (the top) was made to have a more calming effect with the fade to the background and a nice pink color. I wanted these to look like a crystalized figure, but since the first one had curved sides that effect wasn't very apparent. The background was decided since it lets the snowflakes be the picture and not have anything else to draw attention away from it, and because I wasn't able to make a super nice background. I did like this project since it let me make something in a way I had never thought of.

CARP Web Project

We worked on a project to work on a "blog" which may not make much sense but we had to use CARP to make it look good. Dream Weaver worked really well for this project and it allowed us to make the words move to the correct area and allow the paragraphs to line up well.


Contrast- We had to use contrast with the colors for each paragraph. We used colors from the dogs fur to make the title and paragraphs. I bolded the first line of the beginning paragraph so that it would stand out as the start. The contrast between black and white makes sure that you are able to the the important parts.

Alignment- This was used for the paragraphs when I aligned them to the left side of the page. The heading was center aligned to make it stand out from the paragraphs, and we put the second part of the header under the main header so that it will still look like part of the header but not making it look like the big part.

Repetition- I used repetition with the paragraphs, making them each the same color, and font. Another part was using the same color for the header to make it look different. The repetition stood out with the paragraphs where they are the same color as the black background so that it will be another repeated color so that it will stand out.

Proximity- The proximity really mattered with the paragraphs and the picture so that they would look separate but I would still be able to have the picture in the article. Having the paragraphs spaced how they are makes them stand out as separate parts but still shows people that they are one big thing. A large gap between the two headers lets them show as different things but the color of them lets them still show up as the header.
