Website Pages

Below are my web pages. i chose the black and white color schem because it stands out the words are easy to read and it looks cool. i chose the font neuropol because i thought it was easy to read but still fit the theme. also i put the lines on the side to fill in some space and also to give a constant general theme. For my icons I put pictures representing the pages and what the actual links are underneath the icons. also i titled all my pages with what they are to make it easier to surf through the website.

To make my flyer I used many different principles and elements of design. First of all I make a clipping mask, I went on Google and got a picture of the Italian flag then I copy and pasted it on illustrator then I wrote the words “PASTA NIGHT”. After I made the clipping mask I put it on top of a black background. The next thing I did was make three rectangles each one shorter than the other and made one green one white and one red. Then I had those rectangles run along the left side of the flyer. Then I made a big pick breast care awareness ribbon and made another clipping mask of the Italian flag that said “GET INVOLVED” i then put the "GET INVOLVED" on top of th pick ribbon combine them and made it bigger for the background.

For this Picture it was pretty easy. All I did was make a circle. Then I clicked the type on a path tool and typed "MULTI MEDIA DESIGN" around the circle and deleted it. Lastly i made a bigger circle around the words to make it look fancy.

ILLUSTRATOR: snowflake


For this awesome shape it took alot of work. First of all i put a hexagon on the page. Then i copied it and made another, after that i turned the one a little bit and put it on top of the other one making a star looking shape then i combined them. After that i made a long skinny rectangle and placed it on the star shape at 90 degrees. Then I highlighted the shapes and clicked "subtract" and it deleted the rectangle and left an empty space between. After that i repeated the process 4 times turning the rectangle a little bit everytime.
