.pen tool exercise in illustrator

I could use an Illustrator to generate shapes in my project. This is why I have tried this tutorial that showed me how to generate vector shapes step by step. It was really helpful and I have learned basic short cuts to create the word above.

discovering the power of colour part 7.orange

Orange is liked by cheerful, quick witted and talkative people. This colour give dynamic feel to this photo. It is also a very warm colour although it contrasts very cold blue.

discovering the power of colour part 6.black

Black rules this Channel commercial photo. It shows a girl laying down on a sofa. She wears black laces, her hair is black and she has got a heavy black make-up. This colour symbolises being rebel, in this case fighting with conventional clothing. 

discovering the power of colour part 5. yellow

This is Jil Sander's commercial photo. The picture is very simple. The main thing we are concentrating on is her hair and it's because of the light that lightened it. She looks like he is staring at someone. Her hair is yellow. This colour symbolizes in this case jealousy, persecute and prejudice. Although this colour also means seeking for happiness what she could be doing as well. 
Black surrounds her what gives a mysterious feeling to it. 

discovering the power of colour part 4.purple

Purple is a very rich colour that in this case tries to help the model look more extravagant. The model's position is central and her hair and her dress is floating. Red's role on this photo is to emphasis the energy of the model. Black bits ale balancing the whole poster because black is official.

discovering the power of colour part 3.green

This is a photo taken by Juergen Teller and it's not a commercial this time. The main colour here is green which symbolises natural world. But on the other hand green also symbolises naiveness what could be seen in those two girls. The second colour that is visible here is white. White flowers symbolises purity and white knee length dresses symbolises their innocence.

discovering the power of colour part 2.red


On this photo there is a couple and the man is holding the woman showing his care towards her and it is emphasised by the red surrounding them that suggests their love. Red also might mean defeat what I think could be appropriate to use to interpret here as well because they look defeated. White space surrounding the picture probably isn't accidental either because it might reveal their innocence. 

discovering the power of colour part 1.blue



This is an example of a colour being symbolic used in fashion photography. On the picture we can see a couple - man and woman - in the bath full of water. Their position suggest that they are close and what is emphasising it beautifully are their red lips and her nails that in this case represent love, joy, energy, ferocity and fertility. 

The dominant colour is blue. Their clothing and accessories suggest their financial wealth and success. Blue is also distinguishing their authority.

.idea for the brief

The idea is to create an animation that would continue the previous brief which was producing a promotional material for a specific brand.
This time the brand I will be producing the promotional material for doesn't exist.
The animation I will want to produce will be stop motion with drawings and photographs of girls dressed in a theme.
This will be an animation because I want to develop the swirl shapes on those photographs.
