Pathfinder

         Pathfinder helps create shapes that cannot be created under normal circumstances. The shape to the right are the shapes I have created with Pathfinder. Pathfinder lets you utilize a whole new skill set of editing and illustrating. It allows you to edit the points of the shapes and move the shape to the back or to the front, or to delete the center intersection shape. During the process of creating new shapes with pathfinder, I have learned how to take out the intersection of two or more shapes, combine shapes, and take out of put in a shape. Using pathfinder I was able to create a vast variety of shapes and fillings. The most important skill that I have learned during this, is how to subtract from a shape. This specific skill allows me to unlock thousands of new shapes besides the ones created by adding or subtracting the intersection. Subtracting from a shape creates a very complex and simply amazing looking shape.

What is Graphic Design?

   

         What is graphic design? Graphic design can vary from tons of different definitions depending on your view. To me, graphic design is a stepping stone to game design. To others however, it could range from just a normal skill to designing different objects for different clients. I chose the E-comm program at Northwest to learn the skills necessary to perform and do well in the field of game design. Graphic design is a great skill to learn for game design. It helps you design different shapes and logos for your field of design. I learned how graphic design is used for various reasons and types than just editing. It is used in logos and a lot of your every day life.

What's My Font Personality?

What's My Personality Type?

    My font personality is Cooper Black Italic. It means that I am emotional, assertive, degressive, and radical. Personally, I do think that I am those things, especially degressive. I don't like to pick fights or react to any sort of joking around. I am fairly radical and assertive as well. However, I can argue back and forth over being emotional. I do get emotional but not in a normal way. I would get upset over tv series endings but not as much as real life emotion.

Color Wheels

Color Wheel:

   The color wheel contains different colors that have different meanings. Blue would represent trust, like Allstate. Green would mean life. Red would mean hatred. Yellow would mean backstabbing and distrust. Such as in the Green Lantern movie, yellow represented corrupted and evil. Purple would mean base corruptness to me. Purple seems to be the root of the corruptness.
