Jackets!

To make these jackets I copied the swirls that I created before, added text, and played with the transparency.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Surfboard!

The surfboard was an image that I got of the internet, and then added the image that I hade created earlier. Also I made a clipping mask to make the circular shape.  























 
 
 

Swirls!

These swirls were really fun to make. They are simple circles with gradients and were distorted with the warp tool. Then I made a polar grid and used the rotate tool to finish.

 
As an addition to this assignment we made a quick rose by making a polar grid and using the wrinkle tool. Then adding a different style of gradient finished the product.
 
 

Angel Fish!

This angel fish was a difficult image because of the curves on the triangles. But, the back is simply three different squares with curvy tops with different gradients and blurred together. Then the sea weed were simple pencil lines with a fill. 
 
 

Scotty!

To make this image I got a stamp from the Internet, and then traced  the dog with  the pen tool. And, of course the addition of words and drop shadows finished the product. As for the shirt all I did was take the dog and added an overlay effect to make it look like it was on the shirt.

Hippo!

This was an extension of the Easter Bunny, I was suppose to make a another animal, but for this image I kept the outline, which kept that cartoon look. Then adding the symbols made the scene, rather than having the hippo on a white background.
 
 

Easter!

When making this image I learned how to make the jelly beans look glossy. This was done by making one ellipse, then a smaller one with a lighter similar color as the large one. And finally making a third the same size as the small one and making it a black to white gradient and applying a screen.
