Week 2: Reading Tutorials


This tutorial was about making 3-D Stars. I read the whole process about how to do it. This person that made the tutorials went into great detail about how to make gradients for the starts and how to make it look "realistic" They used the illutrator star to demontrate the capabilities of this process, but I am sure that a person could do this with their own designed start. It would just take a little bit longer to do.


Making a business card I think is an important thing for when you want clients or you just feel like you want to pass them out. I absolutly love looking at peoples business cards so it was nice to see a tutorial on how to make one. They used a simple and boring design, but it gives a nice starting look to see how these things are made and what you would have to do to get it started.

This tutorial was absolutely confusing. The person had three different ways to make a vector cd look real, but none of them went into great detail. There were some that seemed really easy yet another that was explaining how to get the rainbow effect on the cd, so that was really hard to understand.


More pen tool of course, one of the most important. Saw this first and was just watching it. A very good tutorial. One of the only ones that I found that was in video form, Adobe live docs sort of thing. Excellent way to demonstrate the use of the pen tool and step by step actions on what to click and how to use it.
