AI Vectordiary Days 8-12

Tutorial Days 8 - half of 9

 For this assignment we had to follow the tutorial we had previously followed, Vectordiary, through days 8-12. The first day was difficult because we were getting used to using the brush tool to create the pear and then the A. It was fun to play around with the borders and strokes, then the colors and shapes. Other than getting used to the brush tool, Days 8, 10, 11, and 12 were fairly easy. The most difficult day overall was Day 9, because that was the day we did the old key. We had to do the most on multiple shapes that we had done so far in order to create the key. For the most part it was straight forward, but getting used to the order of what you had to use was difficult.

Tools I used and for what:

• Brush tool: pear and A
• Rectangle tool: all of the rectangles in all the days
• Circle tool: all of the circles used to illustrate all the different options
• Star tool: the stars used to illustrate the point options
• Border, Color, Transparency, Gradient, and Graphic Styles Windows: all of the options shown in the stars and circles

 For my personal evaluation I would give myself a 10/9, participation/product, because I completed the assignment in a timely matter, but some of the tools I think I might have misused because they didn't appear the same way they did on the Vectorydiaries blog.
