Vector Image: "In Progress"...


Above you will find the Google search image that I have chosen to develop a vector image using "Adobe Illustrator." I chose this raster photograph because of its simple and important message regarding climate concerns that are impacting our human existence in our planet: Earth. It is a clear and straight forward message that is directed to all nations on Earth whose leaders and most citizens are too concern of their personal wealth and well being without asking the question: Am I doing enough to prevent climate change?


It is the first time that I have used "Adobe Illustrator" to create vector images. 
I used the curvature tool pen to shape the forms of the half-globe. The globe's stroke (contour line) color and width were modified from its original raster image. 

I left the canvas' background in its original's color: white. The upper rectangle, where the title is located, was filled with the "super soft black vignette" choice, as a highlight, to help us focus on the message of the title:

"The Climate Has No Borders"

   I choose the color red in the title as a way to 

Create the Sense of Urgency of the Message to the Viewer! 

It takes time to learn how to navigate "Adobe Illustrator," but following the directions of videos and articles provided by the University of Toledo "Foundations of Digital Media," Professor (Dr. Debra Davis), I could learn enough how to use the pen tool for the basic poster that I chose to create for this assignment.

Infographics: Oscar Claude Monet (1840-1926)

To create the Infographic, I used the application Piktochart starting from a blank canvas. I chose the background's color and opacity. Also the font size, style and the option to bold it. Comparing to the previous Infographic, I used more images and less text.   

Colombian Churches facades sculptures' images arranged in a grid “à la Becher”

  Most Colombian artisans, some of them remain anonymous, sell their creations in plazas (public square in a city or town). Most clay sculptures are made and painted by hand. The clay sculptures, photographed for this project, portray Colombian Christian (Catholic) Churches' facades from different Colombian cities.  T hese sculptures were bought at the Plaza Santander in  Bogotá, C olombia, South America.  The sculptures sizes are from 3-4 ½ inches wide to 3-5½ inches high to ½-1 inch deep. t he sculpture images (16 in total) were set, one at a time, in a similar stage, lighting and taken with an iPhone camera at the same distance and eye level.  The images were transferred from the iPhone to the computer and then were edited by Adobe Photoshop. Each image underwent the process of cropping and reducing the image size to 875 x 875 pixels. The resolution of the images are 72 pixels according to the iPhone camera. The canvas size was set as 4000 pixels x 4000 pix...
