(DI 2)

DI lesson 2

Each of us got a tablet for drawing in Illustrator for the whole Semester!!! How cool is that!!! It functions just like a mouse, only that it can do even more such as adjusting the thickness of the strokes when drawing off the computer. And it is very sensitive - you need not even touch the tablet with the tip of the pen, it will automatically detect it when you place the pen near the tablet.

The only thing is that I'm still not used to using it, but it is definitely a better tool to use when drawing off the computer as compared to the mouse.

Aside from the tablet (which I am currently fascinated with), we had to design a mascot(squirrel) for our product (mine's peanut butter, along with Gina). Thus we started sketching it all over our sketch books to come up with a series of design development (show the development/improvement of my mascot). Then we had to choose the best one and draw it on illustrator.(mine turned out rather scary in the end though :P)

We had to "pitch" our product to the class too, for constructive feedback whether our product plan will work or not. It was quite interesting to listen to the other groups' ideas and some of it (like the dog's hotel) were quite cool.

yea...and that's about it...

Tata!!! (off to blog for the next post; too many overdue :P)
