I feel like I got a lot out of this class. To
be honest, when I had to first start
using Illustrator in my career, I
absolutely hated it. I learned to tolerate
it and force it to work for what I
needed, but this class absolutely
opened my eyes on the amazing
possibilities of the program, and I'll be
using it for far more than just the
absolute necessities like I was before.

Currently I work for a wholesale distributor of hard and
soft souvenir goods. We design all types of mugs,
shot glasses, T-shirts, and just about everything
else you would find in a souvenir shop. Currently I
am the Photo Editor, and do a little designing here
and there. I hope to have a future in designing full-
time at my current job, and maybe do some free-
lance work here and there.
Cody D.
Cody - This is
wonderful! and exactly
what was expected for
this assignment - well
done! - the gradients
are very impressive
and all in all this is a
stylish piece.
How will you add color
Cody - You have an and texture into this
effective use of fonts cover? ~Marsha
that offsets the
illustration- Have you
tried different fonts for
the ‘competition’ to
help it stand out?

16. Student Focus ~ Erin
I am Erin … Most of my digital design experience comes from going to school this past year
at AiO and I am working towards my B.S in Graphic Design. In high school , about ten years
ago, I was part of a Commercial Arts program. Presently, I am a stay at home mom but I am
hoping that by the time my girls will be going to elementary school I will be educated enough
to take the graphic design world full force.
Great concept. It will be interesting to see this
evolve :) Keep your ideas open to new
techniques.. Meaningful comments in class -
thank you! ~Marsha
Psychedelic - and very well done!!! Good
gradient blends and composition. With the
star pattern, it might be 'even better' with an
additional star or two -- perhaps? Nice
sense of movement with flower stems in the
mono piece :) Very helpful feedback in
class! ~Marsha
17. Student Focus ~ Hank
Hank - Hmmm - I like the close-up, off the page image of the
witch. Yet, I am bothered by her hair - it could be carried
behind her neck - maybe? Also, she looks too pleasant:)
Could she have a little smirk? Or?? Do love the green!!
These are just initial thoughts - see what the class
provides:)) ~Marsha
Originally I made it so that her face looked sad in
order to show her true feelings that you find out
when you read the book. But after the feedback
that I received on it I had to agree that a more
sinister look was more appropriate than a look of
sadness. Hank

I am really looking forward to this class because I am really out of practice and can't wait
to put some sense and structure into my drawing.. Heather Marsha,
Thank you for a really inspiring class.
I have a renewed passion for
drawing and am still waking up in the
morning with ideas. I really
appreciate the critiques and the push
you gave me. I am continuing to
draw on my own.
Do you teach any other classes?
Just curious. lol.
I just wanted you to know how
appreciative I am.
Thank you again,
Heather - Both are good
Heather
drawings! I think what you and
your family are missing is your
lovely smile! In the photo you
are smiling and relaxed - for
next week's portrait, consider
how you could add some of
that 'natural look' into your
portrait:))

Week 3 Still Life
Heather B.
Heather - Nice - a unified feel overall:) What are the little
objects? pretzel nuggets? I think that your box has too much
top showing to be in the same perspective as the mug.. The
paper next to the mug is very well done - I can feel its
texture!
Now work on developing your drawing with a wider range of
tonal quality – dark to light. This will add depth and dimension
to your work. Also, think about the background and how you
can add interest to your drawings by adding details in the
background/setting. Very nice work!! Week 5 Still Life – Heather B.

21. Student Focus - Donna
I have always wanted to attend school. It is such a great thing to have
the ability to go to school, and for fill the dream of a very young girl. --
-- Donna M
Donna –
Perspective takes time to understand and apply –
you are on the right track. However, you are
drawing what you ‘think’ is correct, rather than
what you actually ‘see’. Attached is a simple view
of your shelf from a position sitting on the floor. I
am supposing that the shelf is at least 3 or 4 feet
off the floor. In this case, you would see the
underside of the shelf – correct? The horizon line
is always eye level and moves with you as you
move.
Try this for practice…
Take a sheet of paper and draw a horizontal line.
Place a dot on the line for a vanishing point (VP).
1st Interior drawing – Donna
Draw several squares on, below, and above the
line.
Turn the squares into cubes by drawing
convergent lines to the VP. Final Interior drawing – Donna M
See how the cubes look from different locations?
Does this help any, or would you like more help
I can not thank you enough, for your kind words and
with perspective? -- Marsha
great feed back. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

22. Student Focus - Laura
I now have decided to get a degree in residential design. I am really looking
forward to taking this class. I have always loved to draw and took a class back
in high school and some how just never seemed to have the time after that.

1st Self Portrait

2nd Self Portrait
Laura B.
Laura - Very good beginning!! There is a
resemblance and your portrait conveys
character:) I like the eyes - though where are
the lids? Review the portrait tip sheets in Doc
Sharing. Keep practicing these and comparing
with photos of yourself - tweak the details, then
build up dimension through shading. ~Marsha
23. Feedback Examples
Abby -
Thanks for sharing! I admire your tenacity and
dedication :) Your portrait is in proportion, but is a
bit stiff and unnatural. Take a look at the picture
attached -- compare with your photo -- see how the
neck curves into the head (your second drawing
here on the left, indicates that curve - just needs
some adjusting), compare the tilt of the nose (the
entire head tilts a bit differently), and notice how the
hair has volume as it comes out from the head. Feedback to Abby on her self portrait
Your eye and mouth are very close to actual - very
good:))
I would not normally 'outline' a head in the manner
done on the right hand drawing, however it
emphasizes the curves and angles of the neck,
head, and hair.
Do you see the differences? Does this help you to
understand how to approach the profile portrait?
Warm Regards,
Marsha

25. Student Focus - Thomas
Thomas - Great step by step photos - I appreciate that you are willing to make revisions as
you go along - many years ago when I worked in a department store display department, we
used a hot wire for cutting fabulous shapes out of Styrofoam - the device looked similar to a
band saw, only instead of a blade, it had a fine wire stretched taught and heated - cut like
butter!
Foam core board is tricky to cut -- Do not try to cut through the entire board in one pass,
instead...with a very sharp blade,
Cut through the first layer of card stock only, using a ruler if you're cutting a straight line - or a
curve template when cutting curves.
For the second pass, cut the layer of foam only.
On the final pass, cut the card stock on the back. Once you have cut through the three layers,
there should be a clean edge with no jagged foam in the center. When cutting on a curve, the
POP rough - Thomas
same method applies.
see http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/sgrais/cutting_foam_core.htm for more cutting tips.
This site offers suggestions for power cutting foam core boards with circular or band saws
using very fine blades ( I have never tried this, but?)
http://www.ultraboard.com/ultracore_tech.html
A site explaining a home made Hot Wire tool for cutting foam board ( such as the blue
insulation board ) for model making - clever ideas applicable to many 3D models.
http://www.info-central.org/construction_hotwire.shtml
*note: The fumes generated when you use a hot wire to cut foam are hazardous to your
health. Make sure you do the cutting operation in a well-ventilated place - it is not something
that you want to do in your basement workshop - the smell alone is potent!
Student POP Final
Have Fun!!

26. Student Focus - Kristin
Here is my progress so far. I am
having a bit of trouble with Kristin - Good photos and
explanations of your progress to
adhesives. The super glue was date! What kind of shelves - fixed?
working pretty well but I have run or adjustable? For fixed you might
construct some 'L' shaped brackets
out and my alternative takes a while that are glued on the underside of
to dry. So this is where I am at until I each shelf -- For adjustable, you
could make a series of holes (ice
can get to a store to get some more pick?) and use dowels pieces as the
super glue. Any suggestions on supports ( two on each side of
shelf), or to support from just the
shelving? I am not too sure how to back of the display, you may need
get them in there. to construct some sort of triangle
shaped support.
Kristin
Another way to support shelves is to
build each shelf with an extended
tab that is either glued on, or
pushed into a slot... I am sure there
are many other possibilities!

28. Student Color Schemes
Here is mine. I had a little
trouble with this assignment - I
thought it was a lot harder once
I got started than when I read
the directions. I had left over
scraps of paper from a holiday
project. I tried to stay away from
the holiday ideas except for one,
since they were already in my
head. That may be why I
thought it was difficult to come
up with words to match. Let me
know what y’all think. Thanks.
I particularly like 'attention' and quot;protectionquot; -
they seem to be very accurate
representations. The others are also good:))
So-- did you create the squares first and then
'name' them - or come up with a concept and
then create the corresponding square??

29. About me
My teaching experience includes several years
instructing Visual Communications [graphic
design, illustration, imaging, multimedia, and
web design], photography, set design, and
numerous software applications. Since 1995, I
have embraced technology as both a tool and a
medium for art. While proficient in Adobe
Photoshop & Illustrator, Corel Draw & Painter,
Microsoft Office, Power Point, Front Page,
Quark Xpress and Pre-press operations, I find
that there is always more to learn! New tricks,
tips, and shortcuts are always welcome.
I have over twenty years experience in graphic
design and advertising and continue to
freelance along with my teaching. As the
computer has increasingly become an
extension of my hands and mind, my interest in
ceramics has grown – providing some ‘balance’
to my high-tech existence! ~ Marsha
