A Little About Me

Hi There,

Thanks for checking out my blog. My name is Rachel and I am a student at Pierce College. I am working towards my degree in Digital Design because I want to be a Graphic Designer when I grow up. I also want to be a rock star but I don't know if that will ever happen. :)

I am a single mom and I keep real busy with the kiddos and school. I hope to get my degree sooner rather than later because I love everything about graphic design. I really like to draw too and if I could draw and color for a comic book I would. I think that would be really awesome!

A few random things about me: I love to sing, I like the color purple and I love to take naps. Oh and I really like to hike when I can. So that's me. :) And that is a silly wig from Party City.

What were you trying to accomplish?  I was trying to make realistic looking glass orbs following a tutorial for After Effects What technical skills did you use to create the project? I used Adobe After Effects and learned a whole lot about the software as I was doing the tutorial.  How do you feel you did on the project? I'm really proud of how it turned out because I think it looks really good. It makes me want to create more things in After Effects. :) Below is a link to the tutorial I chose. Which happens to be the one that Martin posted on the assignment page. :) Glass Orb Tutorial

What were you trying to accomplish? To create a cute heart animation using shapes I created in Illustrator.  What technical skills did you use to create the project? I used Adobe Illustrator and used action, the shape tool and the white arrow tool.  How do you feel you did on the project? I think I did what the assignment required but still don't know how to add music. I also would have liked to add more hearts.

Assignment 16 Vintage Art

What were you trying to accomplish?  I wanted to see if I could recreate this classic Barbie of my childhood in Adobe Illustrator. What technical skills did you use to create the project? I used Adobe Illustrator. I used the pen tool a lot and the pencil tool. I also created a lot of gradients. In hindsight I wish I would have used pathways or whatever it's called because I spent about 5 hours on just her hair.  How do you feel you did on the project? Overall I think I did pretty good. It was harder redoing her eyes because the photo was so pixelated. But I spent around 10 hours on it so I think I did well. :)
