For the past week and a half we have been working in Adobe Illustrator on logos for a diner. The first thing that we had to do was create 20 logos that were a concept of what we wanted the final product to be. The next thing we did was meet with Mr.B and decide which three that we were going to make in illustrator. The main theme of my concepts were flames and burgers. My first logo was a burger with flames behind it and text saying black burn diner on the burger. The first thing I did was find a picture of cartoon flames and trace that using the pen tool and the curvature tool. Then I duplicated the flames three times and changed the colors and made each smaller than the other. The next thing I did was take my burger from the other project and put that in the middle of the flames to make it look like the burger was on fire. Then I did the text, one thing that I realized was that the text on the burger didn't look very good, so I created an oval and used the type on a path tool and made the text curve around the flames. The final thing I did was created a pentagon to enclose the whole thing like on example of diner signs that I looked at. This was a s far as I got so when I get to class Monday I have to do the other two logos.

Over the last two days in class we have started to veer away from Photoshop and start working in Adobe Illustrator. The main difference between the two programs is that bitmap (Photoshop) is using pixels and Vector (Illustrator) is using mathematical equations. The main benefit of using Vector over bitmap is that when you zoom in on an image the vector stays at the same resolution and bitmap becomes more pix-elated. The main tools are also drastically different in the two programs, the one that I am most familiar with is the pen tool, in Illustrator the pen tool is used to create shapes by connecting points and then using the anchors to create the shape you like. In Photoshop the pen tool is also used to connect points but it can only go in straight lines depending on which version of the pen tool you select. Some of the different things that these programs are used for is Photoshop is more for art work and photo editing and Illustrator is mainly used for graphic design and advertisement. Overall the two programs are both used in unique ways and I can't wait to learn more about each of them.
