My class is over and I finished up the year with an A. I think I love grades way too much. It's really not a good thing.

It's just so darn affirming. I must be a people pleaser.

This summer I will be engaging in private study because I like to go to the beach in the summer.  I purchased Adobe Illustrator CS5 Classroom in a Book.

The book is comprised of 15 lessons. The lessons teach you how to use Illustrator by working on projects.  The book comes with a CD that provides a look at the completed projects and all the photos and clip art that you will need to complete each lesson. I can't think of a more fun way to learn Illustrator!

I completed the first chapter today and I have already learned so much. I may repeat it tomorrow and see how much I remember before moving on.

Thanks for following along on my journey. I've started an online portfolio here. My plan is to continue creating and share the logos I design over there. 

Finals

My  class is coming to an end. I am so glad I got out of my comfort zone and took this class. I will present my work tomorrow in class.

Here is the final components that I designed for my restaurant. It's a magazine/print advertisement.

What's next? I'll be spending the summer at the beach and then decide about taking another class. I would love to learn Illustrator better and start learning Photoshop and Indesign.
