Touch of Fun Mock-Up Website


In this project we chose to screenshot a website of our choice and recreate it with a new topic and images using Adobe Illustrator. I chose this layout for my mockup website because it was simple yet it still gives the same amount of information as any other website. What I really liked about this website is how different it is compared to some other websites. If I could do something different next time, I would find pictures that have a different background color, like the original website, just to make it a little more modern and interesting.

Illustrator Projects

I made these 3 projects using Illustrator and Photoshop. During the first project (1st picture) I used the pen tool and made my own brush pattern to create different style lines and patterns.
The second project (2nd picture) We used the gradient mesh tool, and if I were to do this project again I would learn how to use that tool properly as well as the clipping mask and the direct select tool. We made our name look like a blueprint of a project and made different lines and arrows using shapes and made our names look more like a chalkboard.
The 3rd and final project (3rd picture) was my favorite. We got to create a mascot roly-poly icons using Illustrator and I really liked this project because you get to make cute little icons and I got to learn how to make a simple gradient shadow as well as how to make it look like a 3D object.
