KINNEY_FlyerJPEG


For this project I made a flyer to promote the Roselle Park High School TOB Home Show. I used Adobe Illustrator to create it and used many Elements and Principles of Design. The first principle I used repetition and I used it for a few things. The first thing I used it on was the border I copied multiple circles and pasted them around the edge of the page. I made the circles by using the ellipse tool to make one circle then I changed the brush to 5pt flat. Then copied and pasted it as many times as I needed. The second thing I used it on was the music notes I placed on the page. I created them by making small circles, for some of them, and then used the line segment tool to about the length of a music note and I place the line near or on the circle.


The second principle I used for this flyer was emphasis and I used it on two things. The first thing I used it on was the picture of our Marching Band. When I pasted it on the page I thought that it would give the people that are looking at it more interest. The why I got the picture was I downloaded a program at home called SnapShot that would let me take snap shots of my computer screen. Then I watched a video of us performing and I paused it where I thought it would make a great photo. Then I sent to my email then opened it up in school, and then I copied and pasted it onto the page. After that I placed a border around the picture. The second thing I used this for was the symbol, Atlantic Coast Championship 2009 Finalist with the TOB logo in the middle. The hard thing about this was trying to make the logo for TOB. I used the line segment tool, the ellipse tool, and the rectangle tool. I used eight lines, two circles, and three rectangles.

ILLUSTRATOR: Combining Shapes 2

The first thing I've done here was select the polygon shape and then placed 4 thin rectangles on the side. Then I start place onto the rectangle by rotating them and subtracting them from the shape.





ILLUSTRATOR: Combining Shapes 1

The first thing I did here was go to the rectangle tool and held it down to get other options. Then I went down to rounded rectangle and place it on the paper. Then I chose the star and I selected them both with the group selection tool. I then added the two shapes together. Then I put a circle in there and subtracted it.

ILLUSTRATOR: Text on Path 2

The first thing I did was use the pencil tool to make a line. Then I held down the text tool and went on the text on path tool. Then I wrote my name on the line, starting from the beginning of the line to the end.
