This was my second project in illustrator.  We had to 'dissect' our name in a font of our choice, using the terms we had learned about different fonts. The font I chose, Footlight MT Light, had a lot of serifs and was very curvy. There weren't any crossbars or straight lines, which made this project a little bit more difficult. The design I used for this project was based off of this image I found:

This is the first project I have done in graphic design. I combined what I had learned in the flower tutorial  and the 'ugly' color wheel to make a flower-color wheel.  This week in graphic design, we have been learning mostly about color psychology and the important of colors. For example, the color green gives a fresh, clean look, and the color red is romantic and dramatic.  I tried to make my color wheel look professional, like a a logo you would see for a business. It was my first time using illustrator, so I still have a lot to learn, but i enjoyed working in it.
