For everyone that didnt get a chance to see my Postcard design. Here it is....

As far as my process goes and how I feel overall about the assignment-look at earlier blog posts- is that the process is an awesome tool. But, unfortunately that doesnt really show. I am extremely disappointed with my end design. But that is why I am in the GD program, to learn and practice and I know my designs will improve.

Week of tut's

Okay, I need to let out a little steam...

...I am having an extremely hard time keeping up with everything!!! Almost sure that I'm the only one struggling too :-( or so it seems from reading everyone's blog's. Seems like if its not one thing...its another. Now my sons school is shut down for at least a week because of a case of the Swine Flu! Which scares me, because my family and I, have all been sick for weeks.
God I hope there is some relief in sight.
K, now I feel a little better. Now on with the blog...
For this weeks tut's I chose to work on refining my pen tool skills. So they will all be related to using the pen tool.

1st one gave me a great run down of what the pen tool can do.

2nd one had all the definitions layed out for me. Never really knew what some of those symbols meant. Now I know, - (delete), +(add), ^(converts)which ultimately switchs anchor between a smooth and a corner point.

3rd one made the pen tool look like a blast to use.
Right along with the 4th one, which made the pen tool totally fun, instead of frustrating, to use.

And the 5th Showing the how to's of handles and more in depth variations on what could be done with the pen tool.
