Tessellation Project

This is the first time I have created a digital tessellation pattern. I used Adobe Photoshop to create this work. In designing this pattern, I realized that lining up all of the different cuts was quite difficult. To begin this project, I started with pictures I found off the internet, then I edited them using Photoshop, cut them out, and pieced them together. I have never done this kind of design before and it was nice to explore different mediums of design.

Palouse Sketch

The reason I am uploading this sketch is because this is really the first time I have ever used Adobe Illustrator. It is a very innovative program that I am excited to work with in the future. I particularly liked the different digital painting features that really added detail to the clouds and grass. I found it difficult to create small details and especially curved lines with the computer mouse. This was also the first time I have worked with an external digital tablet to help ease the drawing process. This sketch shows the beginning of my future working with Illustrator.
