Creating a Infographic

ABOUT THE CREATOR

My name is Kevin Berlanga, I have attended and graduated from St. Lawrence Seminary High School in Mt. Calvary Wisconsin. After graduating
in 2007, I began in the Fall of that year at Saint Xavier University. Initially,
I had no idea where my aim academically was going to be, so I decided
to complete all of my general education classes first. Eventually, during
my sophomore year I decided to pursue my bachelors in Criminal Justice. I am currently a Senior and I will be graduating in the 2015 spring
semester. What better way to graduate but with a little experience from
computer graphics.

Being my first time at using the bamboo stylus, I was able create a line wine
bottle with Adobe Illustrator. In the beginning the stylus was difficult to use,
so I attempted to craft the size of the bottle with ten horizontal lines. Then I
moved onto drawing twenty more lines to fill in the bottle. Eventually, I used
over a hundred lines to build off of my basic concept.
In order to create the lines, I used the Adobe Illustrator software and the
Bamboo stylus. These programs allowed me to use the paint brush tool using
black from the gradient scale. Of course, I had to use the command+z option
in order to undo plenty of my mistakes. There is no outline to my wine bottle
images of just horizontal lines that created it.

Martini & Wine

The lines pictured on this page show different methods used to create line
martini glasses. Although this was one of my first attempts at creating an object,
the comfort of the stylus was natural. At first, I tried making the glass using
vertical line strokes, then I began to combine vertical and horizontal strokes to
create more depth. Now we can see a funnel created which puts more shape and
recognition of the martini glass.
These wine glasses were created using the one-hundred line method. This
technique used was simply using the Bamboo stylus and drawing one-hundred
horizontal lines. The lines created shape to the wine glasses, but seem to look
more like the silhouette.

The tea pot pictured to the left of this page was also created using the line technique. This
image was created using a stylus and the idea came from an actual tea pot sitting in arranged
light. The image can be seen as a silhouette to what the tea pot actuallly looks like. There are
still plenty of gaps and spaces, with hints of shading in the middle.
The tea pot pictured to the right, was eventually produced using the color palette and the
different swatches it had to offer. As you can see from the image the light is casting in from
the right side of the tea pot, hence the lighter shading on the right. This image shows the use
of the value chart being used at its full potential.

Value Chart

This chart to the left illustrates various values that can be used to create shading, depth, and detail to an image to make it more realistic.
Although the image to the left portrays the values of black and white,
from light to dark, it can be used with any other color.
The chart below the color values shows the letters, ROYGBV, these
letters stand for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet. These
are the colors of the visible light spectrum. The colors are formed
when light is reflected, eventually creating color in which we see from
our eyes.

Arts and ABCs

IMAGE BY:
KEVIN BERLANGA
The ABCs created to the left of this page were not as simple
to create as expected. This required the used of the Bamboo stylus and the program Adobe Illustrator. Each letter
was created using the pen tool from Adobe Illustrator.
The straight letters were quite simple to create once I had
gotten the hang of it. What did end up taking more time
was adding a circular shape to many of these letters. In order to make the object more circular, the bamboo pen had
to be pushed down at certain points and held until satisfied with the shape that was created.
I used various different colors in order to recognize the
amount of work that went into each letter. I also used the
different colors since it had reminded me of my youth in
preschool. Although the work is not perfectly shaped, I
can assure you it was a lengthy process. Dont believe me,
try it!

Illustrating an Image
IMAGE BY:
KEVIN BERLANGA

In class, we had an option to choose which iconic symbol of our time we would like to
recreate, of course, it was the bat symbol. Batmans symbol we used was taken from
google images and recreated using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
As you can tell from the symbol on top, the method used was simply copying the image as
we see it. Clearly, you can see how distroted the image is and does know justice for what
the bat symbol signifies.
On the other hand, the bat symbol below was created using the tracing technique. How
this technique works is simple, you just place the orignial image into Adobe Illustrator and
trace it! Although it sounds simple the curves created were hard to match up when tracing
the actual image. Once the image was traced, you delete the orignal image it was traced
from and cherish the symbol you have created.

COMPLEMENTARY

IMAGE BY:
KEVIN BERLANGA
The image of the tomatoes, show two strong complementary colors. Complementary is to opposing colors that show a significant
amount of contrast. These colors were chosen using the visible
light spectrum.
Similar to the Batman symbol on the previous page, the tomatoes
were chosen using Google images. After I had chosen the tomatoes
I want to use, I placed them into Adobe Illustrator. I then used my
pen tool with a small line stroke and started coloring in the exact
image. The colors I had chosen were as close to the image that I
can imagine. Being my first time creating a real life image on this
program, I managed to understand the swatches alot more clearly.
The tomatoes took many layers since there were plenty of different colors I had to switch too. I did not want to fill in the tomatoes
fully, in order to make the image look more like a painting. The
contrast between the dull green vines and the bright red tomatoes is
significant, to what complementary colors mean.

Creating a Infographic

ver the next few pages, I will show you how I created an infographic
for screen printing. By the time we reach the end you will clearly understand the process used to make a clothing design of your own.
The image to the left was created, using the tracing technique. Its detail in
the arms and chest really portray it to be more realistic than it is. This image required many layers for each of the sections of shading used. As you
can tell, the final product, is a detailed long sleeve shirt.

The infographic is used to show the steps of creating a custom
piece of clothing using the screen printing process.
The image to the right is a stack of screens. The screens are a necessity in this process because theyre what holds the image. The
image is then burned into the screen and inked onto the shirt.

This bucket of paint to the right shows the process used to create a
realistic image. In the before image you can see the paint in its simplest
form. There are sections not filled in and no sign of any detail.
As we move forward to the after image, you can see shines of light on
the paint and many more colors used from the swatches. These various
colors create depth and shading used to define what the image really is.

Desktop Computer
IMAGE BY:
KEVIN BERLANGA
The image to the right is the most important component to
screen printing. The computer I recreated in Adobe Illustrator
was taken from Google Images and turned into an illustration.
For most of the image I used the pen technique by tracing
each of the components of the computer. There were few
sections that I used the magic wand to help me select similar
colors alot faster.

THE RESULTS

KEVIN BERLANGA
The results are in! To the left you can see the final formation of the infographic on screen printing. From the images
I had shown you earlier, you can see that each were used
strategically in this process. I had added different forms
of design to square in certain sections so that it becomes
easier to follow. The final result of this infographic should
allow anyone to clearly understand how to screen print.
