Days 1-5


Project Description: In the project above, we used a tutorial on how to use adobe illustrator. We became comfortable with using the shape tools and eventually the pen tool. The pen tool was very difficult for me. At first I din't understand how to use it but then after awhile the pen tool was no longer a challenge
New skills/processes & tools learned: I learned how to use the pen tool, along with all the shape tools
Self Reflection: This project was very frustrating because I was just learning how to use adobe illustrator and the second thing we had to do was use the pen tool. I eventually was able to accomplish the project after trying and trying a million times.
Part/Proj: 8/7

Spaceship post

Project Description: I learned how to create this spaceship off a tutorial; the program we used was adobe illustrator. The spaceship was made up of different shapes and I used different tools. The link ishttp://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/2009/03/create-a-simple-spaceship-in-illustrator/ for the tutorial.
New Skills/processes & tools learned: I learned how to use the shape tools as well as the pen tool. At first it was a struggle, but after using it for about two classes I became comfortable with using it.
Shape Tools: Rectangle, Square, and ellipse
Self Reflection: Making the spaceship was easy at first since I was already comfortable with using the shape tools. At about Step 14 was when it started to get harder. The hardest thing in this project for me was making the flame on the ship.
