*Preferably, get some popcorn, a nice cold drink, ready your chair with a comfortable cushion.. make sure your feeling comfy and just enjoy... = D *

MY FOOTPRINTS FOR ASSIGNMENT 1:

I started with doing some research on Global Warming, as you can see in the previous posts. While reading through the article, something of interest struck me. WEATHER CHANGES. I then moved on to my sketches. I got some of the ideas from those images I found online.

I actually came up with another design and already showed it to my tutor, Dr Koo. But, recently, I have been having cravings for ice cream. Even though, I had the chance to eat ice cream, I now crave MANGO ICE CREAM! While I was doing some work, my mind was subconsciously thinking about ice cream. Then, it's like a light bulb wen 'ting'.. = P I tot maybe I should use the ice cream concept.

That was the beginning of my journey. Here comes the harder part of my journey, Using illustrator to illustrate my idea.

Step 1: Creating the Cream
I start of by using the pen tool to create the cream part. I named the layer "cream".



This is the end product of the 'cream'.


Step 2: Creating the Cone.
I, again, used the pen tool to create the cone. I put this into another layer called "cone."


Step 3: Creating the lines
I use the pen tool to create the 'X' in the cone.

Thus, the cone is completed.

Step 4: Colouring the Cone

I coloured the cone with 3 colours. Yellow on the outside,orange in the middle and red on the inside. I used the gradient tool to create this effect.

Step 5: Colouring the Cone

Next.... I coloured the cone. I use the combination of green and blue. I used the gradient tool again to create this two colour toning effect.


Step 6: Colouring the other side of the cone

I coloured the other side of the cone, purple. The swatch name is R=147 G=39 B=143.

Step 7: The product.

When combining the cone and the cream. This is the product of it.

Step 8: Final Product
After much thoughts and after doing some touch-ups. I decided to change the image to this.



Step 9: FINAL FINAL PRODUCT.

This is where the animation comes in. Confetti and party music in the background. = P
This is the end of my journey for assignment 1. My footprints so far. Hope you lasted till here. = ) Join me in the next post to know more about the meanings.
