Color Wheel

What was the Project:

In this project, we had to use Adobe Illustrator to make a color wheel. We didn't use Adobe Photoshop since it works well with images and frame animation. We used many shapes, tools, and colors in order to make our color wheel. We used the shape tool to make triangles, squares, and circles. We used the Text tool to add words. Then we found a font that was easy to read. For colors, we started out with red, yellow, and blue, our primary colors. Next we added our secondary colors, orange, green, and purple. After that, we added our tertiary colors, Yellow orange, red orange, red violet, blue violet, blue green, and yellow green.

What I Learned:

I learned how to make dashed lines, get rid of an outline, and how to copy using the keyboard. You have to select your shape, go to the top of the bar in Adobe illustrator, and click on stroke. A bunch of different options pop up, but click on the box that says dashed lines. I also learned how to keep the background color or make it transparent when saving it for web.

How I Did:

For my first attempt in making a color wheel, I feel I did great. I found an easier way to find a primary colors so I feel I should have used that way instead, but otherwise, everything went well.

Next Time:

I will try and work faster and make sure to familiarize myself with some of the tools and options before I use them.
