During class, we were told to put three objects on the table. We took a photo of the objects and had to trace out the picture of the objects on Illustrator. This was my picture:
If only I knew what was coming... I could've chose something easier to trace!
Because the image was in low quality, I retook the picture in order to be able to trace neatly. I'll have to get rid of the background of the image on Photoshop as well later on.
My objects: a perfume bottle, a notebook and a scissor.
For this project, we had to trace out three objects on Illustrator as detailed as possible. We had two artboards. The first artboard is going to be a diagram of the objects in *warm and cool colors. And the second board is going to be a diagram of the objects in black and white. So the first thing I traced out was the sticker of the truck on the notebook. The reason for that is because its 2D (and seemed easier, which wasn't exactly true...).
*Warm colors are colors that give a feeling of warmth, anger, cheerfulness or love such as red, orange, and yellow. Cold colors give a cool, sad and fresh feeling such as are blue, green, and purple.
Traced out the sticker that's in .jpg format on Illustrator with a pink colored pen tool (in support of breast cancer month!)
Hooray! It looks slightly similar... right?
I made the image in black and white by pressing image > adjustments > black & white

Afterwards I just kept tracing the other objects with a pen tool and added color fill to the objects. Once I got to the bottle of perfume, I added the text with the text tool. I added text wrap to make the text more 3D. I used the arc lower option for the whole text because it gives a curved-like effect.
The text being circled is the text without the text wrap (yet) and the text below is the text with a text wrap.

Once I finished with the colored diagram, I moved on to the black and white diagram we had to make in the second art board. What I did first was screenshot the colored diagram. After that, I opened the screenshot on Photoshop and made the image to a black and white image.
On Photoshop: With an eyedropper tool, I selected the color of the object. For example, I select the notebook with the eyedropper tool. I then press the fill button on the left and the Color Picker window appears.
At the bottom of the window there is the color code which I then copy.
On Illustrator: I double click the fill button on the toolbox and the Color picker window appears. I then erase the code and paste in the code I got from Photoshop.
By doing this, I can get an accurate color if the image is in black and white.
After repeating the same procedure over and over again, it's finally finished!

For the background, I used the pattern I made during class last week.
