Working with Illustrator throughout this semester has been quite a journey, but looking through the work of myself, and everyone else in the class, you can see how we have all come a long way. My favorite thing we have learned this semester was the low-poly art, and that will be evident throughout my presentation. Not only is the cover to my portfolio a low-poly design, but you will see bits of low-poly art implemented onto each page. We worked with vector art this semester, and, personally, I think it is one of the coolest art forms there is. I would have never thought we would be able to make some of the things we did by the end of this semester. As I said earlier, the low-poly fruit was my favorite project. I enjoyed the process, and really thought the outcomes were incredible as well. Creating a 3-D image out of triangles is a strange idea to me, but I now think it is my favorite art form.  This semester, I think I combined realistic images with cartoon images very...

Low poly art is a technique used to create an image using a relatively low number of polygons (usually triangles) and coloring them accordingly. It is used to create 2 dimensional images, and well as 3 dimensional images, if the colors are used correctly. https://www.sessions.edu/notes-on-design/whats-the-deal-with-low-poly-art/ https://www.juegostudio.com/blog/low-poly-art-design https://www.redbubble.com/people/basketfreak13/works/28299248-low-poly-art-wolf?p=poster

Portfolio Layout examples- cover/table of contents/pieces

We learned a lot about layout and composition. We learned that the colors throughout the portfolio should be consistent, nothing should be too close or too far away, there should not be too much white space-full the page, everything should be aligned with each other or else it will look messy, make sure texts and backgrounds contrast each other, and use repetition in a way that keeps everything tied together. For example: use the same fonts throughout, and make sure everything looks relatively alike
