Intro To Illustrator 2:class 8

today I used the the pathfinder tool to add,subtract,multiply and divide different parts of a group of circles. I also began using the gradient and transparency tools to alter the way the fill colors look in  certain shapes. I also grouped shapes to create a flower and also made an ancient key

Into to Illustrator 2: class 7

In our 7th class using adobe illustrator i began to work with the brush tool. I applied different affects to the brush to make what I was drawing have that affect. I found the brush tool much eaiser to work with compared to the pen tool. The only thing I had trouble with was not beinging able to pick the brush and start back up in the same place.

Into to Illustrator: class 4

In our 4th class using illustrator I once again used the pen tool to create more shapes that with curved sides such as a dog bone, heart, clover, and puzzle piece. I am still having trouble with it, but hopefully soon it will become simpler.

Into to Illustrator: class 3

In our third class with illlustrator I used the pen tool to create an old key and other shapes. It was pretty complicated to create the curves on the top of the key. Afterwards i would use the white arrow tool to customize the key and to make it look even more like the key on the website.

Into to Illustrator: class 2

Last class we worked with illustrator for a second time. We learned how to use the pen tool to create curved lines and shapes, something i found pretty challanging. It was complicated and frusterating, but hopefully with experience it will become eaiser to use.
