Make it in design, brief 2.


This is my second assignment for MIID (make it in design).
I have learned a little about Ai and Ps, learning something every day. Im not happy with it but I love the colors.
While trying to learn Ai and buying a class from Skillshare I found out about a online class with Bonnie Christine, hosted by Creative Live what a great class. Now Im looking at all the videos again and learning and learning. 
I think my third assignment will be made in AI, I hope so :) Im going to practice and practice :)

Have a beautiful day

Make it in design

Im always trying something new.

I have seen on FB that so many are making patters, all kind of pattern so I did start searching for more to see. Then I found out about Make it in design summer school.
I joined without knowing much about it as there was a beginner track.
I have never worked in Photoshop or Illustrator so what to do,
 I had to learn to use Ps and Ai. 

I signed up for a class..es at Skillshare and have spent hours by hours 
going through the programs trying to learn and Im learning.

I have now submitted two assignments, the first one was so simple and not a pattern at all but could easily be changed to pattern if I had the knowledge . It was so much work learning how to cut out all my fishes and mixing them together on a new layer. 
The theme was  Tropical Paradise.


Next brief has the theme Tribal Shapes. I submitted my work few minutes ago. That shows a pattern, a pattern like that one we use for knitting here in Iceland. 

It took me hours to make but in the end I found out how I could have copied and pasted every item as soon as I did make them in stead of using the pen tool making every little thing I made. Ill show you the results in few days. Maybe I should have used more time adding outlines but I did not.. I don't know how to :) 

Have a beautiful day

She is beautiful


As you might know then I did take a class... 

Imaginarium Doll from Artful Gathering
Teacher was the wonderful Mary Jane Chadbourne.

I really enjoyed this class where we made dolls on wood. I did make 3 dolls, you can see them in my last blogpost.

I did also make this Artist Trading Block
Love this one, she is different from my dolls but has this soft face and beautiful colors.

Now I have one block left, you have to come back to see how she will turn out 


Have a beautiful day
