Week 11 | Final Ilustrator Tips

After a few weeks of working and getting a feel of Illustrator, I have gathered a few key points in order to model well. I stumbled across a tutorial that answered all my issues of painting realistic textures. I decided to search how you would go abouts painting photo realistic skin using vectors, because skin is full of so much information, pores, shades, freckles etc.


The Method

The method is really simple and less complicated than all the ways I have seen students attempt it in class. The best way to create photo realistic texture is by starting off with a square fill, it is simple geometry that if you add mesh to, will not go wonky.

Once you have a square over the shape you want to trace, its best to add a mesh point right in the middle of the square.

You then can start moving the anchor points at the corners of the square around to 'hug' the shape, and then with the handles of the anchor points you can start to customize the curvature.

After that is setup, your ready to go start adding more mesh points and filling as you go.

The video below demonstrate the photo realistic vectors

Week 11 | Remuneration

Remuneration is the compensation that you receive for work that you have done for somebody.
Compensation is determined by a few things such as experience, business size, industry standards, the complexity of the work, and the position entitled.

Advantage - stable income, ability to change positions, work for great companies.


Disadvantage- makes less money than a free lancer, company bureaucracy.

Week 10 | Conflict

Conflict occurs from:

Personality clashes
Interdependence occurs when a team member relies on another team member to do the work
The resolution | Have ground rules, communicate well, team building exercises
Negotiate work load between the teams


Difference in background or gender
Nature of education, political views, race
The Resolution, and understanding peoples background and beleifs

Differences in leadership
If team memberships are presented into different leaderships roles it can lead into missinterperetaions into different tasks
The Resolution | Everyone should follow a set criteria, so people don’t get confused


Summary
Personality clashes is due to work style differences, background differences, attitude differences, competitive vs cooperative differences

 The Resolution would be open mind, understand that your working style isn’t always the rights way, accept diferent views, different personalities can be an advantage.

 

Week 9 | Feedback

After Speaking with Russel on my progress, he advised me on my video editing and in order to make it crisp that I should have a look at inspirational photography and graphic images to gather an understanding of putting quality presentation together.

Week 8 | Individual Milestone - Illustrator

It is currently Week 8 and in relation to our gantt chart we feel comfortable with were we are at, we are finally working on the banner and are up to par with our roles.

Adobe Illustrator SVG filter Time Lapse

Watch in HD!

| Description

This video is a time lapse demonstration of applying SVG filters to line work of the back portion of the motorcycle. The reason I am applying an SVG filter is to mimic the effect of 'pixels' because the client wants the line work to look pixelated in the final poster.

Unfortunately Chronolapse video encoder encoder generates the frames very pixelated as opposed to the actual screen shot snaps. I have to fine another encoder that can probably do the same video encoding but higher quality.

   The images below shows the:
   plane trace version vectors vs the"pixelated" vectors that were created using the SVG filters.
