http://pixelrockit.com/create-stylish-3d-shapes-with-adobe-illustrator/ This is the tutorial I used to make my spheres. I created my own design in illustrator.
http://layersmagazine.com/3d-texture-mapping-in-photoshop-cs6.html I used this tutorial to make my sphere in photoshop. Then I customized it by adding a gradient and making the indentions in the circle more visible.
From the video I watched I learned that color gives the viewer and yourself a different view on the circle/sphere. A sphere also represents completion and the feeling of being brought together. I used my sketch book to write out ideas for my pattern and then I put my ideas into adobe illustrator. I went through a lot of designs until I found two that I liked. In photoshop I didn't like how my sphere was boring with grey an black so I added color to make it stand out. In illustrator I thought it was easier to customize it but in photoshop I think it was easier to follow the tutorial and make the circle 3D. From each tutorial I learned how to make the pattern fit to my sphere. I also learned how to make the highlighted part stand out. I would eventually like to learn how to make it look like the sphere is deflating.
