Assignment #6: Choose one of the following tutorials

Using ONE of the Adobe Illustrator tutorials, create a 3D Design of your own. Try to render your object to the best of your ability. You are being graded on effort only at this point of the class. Pay attention to scale and perspective as this will help your object look more realistic. Feel free to make the item you choose any color you like and don’t forget the background.

Find here Adobe Illustrator video tutorials that will help in learning the tools, and in application for specific outcomes, i.e. logos, graphic design elements, page design and layout where a vector format is advantageous or required.

Additional resources and tutorials can be found at my Diigo “Information Design and Presentation” list – accessed from my blog sidebar.

Tutorial

Reflection; For this project we were supposed to follow someones AI tutorial.

I chose to follow the one on the blog. It was a flower sort of AI design. It started out with a circle. Then I made multiple copies and rotated them to make them look like petals. After that I learned how to change the colors of different sections of the flower.

I had fun following someones tutorial and making a flower that I didn’t even know was possible to make. It was a little frustrating because some of the time I didn’t understand what he was doing or what he was talking about, but Mac helped me! I’m really proud with the end result!
