So over the past few weeks I have had ridiculous opportunities to practice illustrator and photoshop. Considering I was a novice in both of the areas, I feel as though I had made major leaps in progress. Although I am not nearly as experienced as my friend PJ, a fellow art student, I feel I have learned exceptionally more than the average person, which was more than I anticipated.

My first photoshop concept was perhaps not the best for the digital medium, but it still came out looking very vivid (in my opinion). My boyfriend thankfully posed for me...I wanted a scene that elicited a sense of meloncholy and reminesence. The character is longingly looking down at a photo album, and images from his past appear to haunt him.



Further, we learned to work in Illustrator. Before all else, we practiced a simple tracing technique. It turned out to be slightly more difficult that I initially thought, although it all turned out for the best.


Finally we proceeded to practice skills and techniques in Illustrator involving our "Film Still Visualization" project, which is reflected in the image above. Below are some simple renditions in Illustrator... They are nothing complex, but simply practice with some Illustratory tools.
