Just Reppin'

Color Replication is the goal! For this project, the goal was to replicate an act model of a chosen picture. The trick was to use the pen tool in illustrator which at the time I wasn't too comfortable at all using. We were also supposed to integrate gradient color mixes as well. Which I also wasn't very comfortable yet. Never the less, it still had to be done so I eventually stopped complaining. So the first thing I needed to figure out was what I was going to use as a picture. What was recommended was to do a vehicle but knowing me I like being different. I ended up doing my replica on a Xbox 360 controller with a Gears of War theme graphically painted on it. So now, I've got my picture and I've got my Illustrator tools. It was time to go to work.

Well at the end of my project it seemed to come out really well. It came out so much better than I pictured it would look and  came out better than the original picture itself. I was actually really proud of myself with this one because I felt like this was my first major project for graphic design.
