For this the task was to fill 9 boxes with different logo designs. The major component of this assignment was the pen tool. The in-class tutorial helped me a lot but the pen tool is a skill that needs to be practiced a lot. I started off with some simpler logos but by the end…
The primary focus of this assignment was to work on using the pen tool to trace and create curves but I found this assignment helpful for many more reasons. It introduced me to the symbols tool bar to insert clip art and enhance my work. Gradients were also used to create depth and shadows around…
