My first experience with Adobe Illustrator (preliminary task)

Illustrator is software I am trying to work with to make my coursework content more design friendly,
which also enables my readers to not feel like they are only seeing pages of text and photographs.

I was able to start working in illustrator, and within an hour or so I was able to progress well.
I got the feel for the software, and was experimenting with the features that it provided. I initially  tried out the brush tools and did some sketches. Then I wanted to try and import an image to see if it works like Adobe Photoshop. After which I was having a blast with the rotate and sizing tool.
The spiral tool and flare tools intrigued me as they were both very unusual tools.
When I use the flare tool, it creates a pattern that uses circles with light and shadow( which honestly reminds me of solar systems and supernovas ). And it allows you to control the radius and light and shadow effects to create an effect as you can see above.
And finally I was able to find the paint bucket tool  and used it along with the line segment tool to form a square and fill it with color. A very provoking thought came into my head at the time and I wanted to try and see if I could rotate the square and sure enough it was possible.
Thus, I concluded that if all the points in the respective line segment were close enough the created figure could be rotated.

- I will continue my experiments with illustrator...☺️

Ryo Onishi :The animator who can bring life to the characters

Image
I feel that I should have talked about him earlier!!! My favorite animator in Dragon ball Super : Broly , Ryo Onishi! He has animating skills which bring about animation which is very fluid,which goes well with the simplistic character designs of the main character designer Naohiro Shintani.Goku doing the his warm-up in the teaser trailer is the best example ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1rECVSJfQA ) CHARACTER DESIGN ), but  Goku eating doesn't fall short either(pic 1).The only jarring shot compared to other shots was Goku"s first clash with Broly (pic 2).He and Naotoshi Shida bring about the main fluid moments in the movie!!! PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2 I feel the success of the film was the director, animators and producers working in sync as well as the good schedule and budget which attracted even many freelance animators.The animator's work as well as the new line filter technology introduced at Toei animation helped bring the reall...

Image
Cover page    Here, I want to talk about one piece ch 941,  I have (below) critiqued the narrative aspect of the long running manga and I want express my gratitude to Oda Eiichiro-san (the author and illustrator) for continuing for 20 years to draw and writ ONE PIECE. Here, I am deciphering the code that Oda-san has depicted through the picture.Enjoy !!! One piece manga chapter 941 is out and after reading it I have mixed feelings. Today's cover page seems to indicate/give us a clue about Blackbeard's whereabouts or his to be whereabouts in the future. Let's get started!!First let us focus on our protagonist Monkey.D.Luffy (he looks ready to go and your artwork as good quality as always Oda-sensei).He seems to be using Gigant pistol.But look at his arm it says ,I quote " END OF THE SEA ". I think all of you who have read the chapter and have been following one piece for long know what this means.If you still haven't figured it out it means the last...

UNREAL-BUT-REAL-MAGAZINE-SUBMISSION

Image
My online magazine targets children above 10 years who have love for science and experimenting as I always did. The magazine will raise the curiosity of the reader and will also promote Science as a fun activity. My cover page idea is based on a thought I had "flight into the never before seen skies even past the clouds", this idea has the clouds as obstacles and the young boy getting through them with ease. The contents page's artwork came to be when this idea created another topic to work on " Onward to space!!" which is why I drew children riding on a Rocket to space. These thoughts and their respective illustrations symbolize the infinite possibilities that lie in science, and that it can be a very enjoyable journey if taken with the right approach. The Double Spread has a background of large water bubbles symbolizing infinite possibilities, and as the experiment is to do with water I felt this to be apt. The photos I have click...
