Design

• The two programs I primarily used to further my design skills were Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

• Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and Photoshop edits all types of graphics.

• These programs work to create illustrations, graphics and alter photos and existing images.

My patterns created using

Illustrator.

Different entry points were used.

Sketches necessary to follow through with pattern.

Pattern can be rotated to produce different looks.

The accordion book utilized my

observational and analytical design

skills .
