vector project

            For my vector project I decided to redo a book cover for a childrens book that I loved when I was younger. The book is called “The Monster at the end of this Book.” While the book its self is silly and cute I decided to try and use some fairly recognizable figures from some more recent movies. I wanted to push the idea that one “Monster” was scared of another as that is the whole idea behind the book.

            To make this book cover I used images of Mike from “Monsters Inc” and one from “Monsters vs. Aliens” as well as a random cutesy monster I found online. I then created a background, downloaded a new font, and added the images mentioned above. Then I warped both the cartoon monsters so that they were not exactly the same as in the movies. After I got the two main monsters done as well as the background and text, I resized the cute monster. I also made multiple copies of this monster in various sizes and placed them around the piece.

vector excersise

For my exercise I wanted to show that a student can be a teacher and a teacher is also a student. No one knows everything and I wanted to explore that some. Mostly though I wanted to play with the different fonts and how they fit certain ideas.
I downloaded a few fonts that I liked and then mostly just played with the placement. I would get the word close to were I wanted it and then I would move each letter to the exact location that I wanted it. I also used the text path tool to write on the existing words.
