 The selection tool (v) 


One of the most basic and essential tools in Illustrator is the selection tool. The tools are used to choose a specific portion of an item. To select a specific part of an object, the selection tool employs a variety of methods, including the selection tool, Direct selection tool, group selection tool, magic wand selection tool, Lasso Tool, and perspective selection tool. Each selection tool serves a distinct function and has unique properties. I can move, rotate, scale, skew, or distort the item while using the selection tool as needed. I think this tool would be easy to use. I would use it to select specific parts of a shape and distort it how I want. I found it interesting in the video the different types of selection tools adobe illustrator has.

How To Use The Selection Tools In Adobe Illustrator


Type tool 

The type tool is a fundamental component of Illustrator. This tool is perfect for altering sample text that follows an inclination or is orientated in a circular way. To name a few functions, you may use it to type lines of horizontal text or align text to follow a vector path. A text can be shown on a curve, an angle, or even upside down with the type tool. To use the type tool, pick the (T) Type tool from the toolbar on the left side of the Illustrator interface. This tool seems pretty simple and I would use it to add words to my shapes. I found it interesting in the video the different ways you could distort your words.

Shape builder tool 

Illustrator's shape builder tool is an important and helpful tool to learn. You may use this tool to add/combine two or more forms by adding their paths, or to remove two or more paths to produce another shape. You may also split apart overlapping items to make new ones. The major reason for developing that tool is to assist in the creation of a single form from many components. I would use this tool to build items to make a particular shape I want. For example, I could use two circles to make eyes. I found it interesting in the video how I could make vector graphics using shapes and patterns.

       Photoshop, for me, is a tool for creating a compelling visual world.  It is also a means for me to explore the spectrum of possibilities made available by my material selection. I also use it as an opportunity to experiment with the various possibilities opened up by slight adjustments in color, composition, and technique of application. Overthinking was the theme of my project, and it's something I do a lot. Everyone, at times, overthinks things. Overthinking has been related to anxiety and depression, but when you're in the thick of it, however, it's difficult to tell what state you are in. The reason I used the clouded head and space background is because the more I ponder an issue, the worse I feel. And, because emotions may cloud my judgment, it becomes more difficult to take a proactive approach which leaves me feeling lost or uncertain. Everyday, my boyfriend would ask me “ what do you want to eat?” and everyday, i would tell him “ i don't know, it...

  Artist statement:  Completing this project was a fun experience. I wasn't sure how I was going to finish this project at first, but after playing around in Adobe Illustrator, I discovered that the "envelope distort" to "make with top object" would be the ideal tool for the job. If you want to utilize an item as the envelope's shape, make sure it's at the top of the stacking order for the object you want to use. My first idea was to base my writing around a dolphin. The dolphin was my source of inspiration. The dolphin symbol sends a profound message by representing eternal life. Because of their intellect and conversational personalities, dolphins are one of my favorite species. Dolphins are well-known for their elegance and beauty. Dolphins communicate using a language that contains sounds with various functions, just like people, as well as examples of enjoyment, fun, teaching, and social cohabitation behaviors. So I wanted my letter to speak through...

Tagbrush

  I wanted my tag brush to be a representation of my interests. The water and the lovely palm trees were two of the reasons I moved to Florida. Moving to Florida was one of the best moves I've made lately, and I wanted my tag brush to reflect that. My tag brush involves pouring color and using conventional brush strokes to create a picture. I wanted my tag to be straightforward and easy to remember.       Humans rely significantly on being able to comprehend and interpret information. So color choice has been shown to impact human behavior. I used the color blue because it is favored by so many people. Another reason is because it is mainly viewed as a traditional, non threatening hue, that leaves the mind feeling calm or serene. It leaves a feeling of trust and confidence that can reduce stress.
