Illustrator Thoughts

     

   When doing illustrator we learned a lot of things that would be able to help us out with the design process and things we'd learn later this year. One thing that we did in illustrator was learning how to utilize and create shapes on the platform and being able to modify the shapes into new shapes. This could help us when designing later on as knowing how to create and modify the shapes will enhance the designs we make. Additionally we learned the ways to design the shapes through color and stroke which could help to make the shapes unique and give it life with colors or outlines. We also learned how to modify shapes through tools like the pathfinder tool which allows us to turn certain shapes into other shapes through cutouts which could help to exclude a part of the shape or unite them together to make a new shape. We also learned how to use the pen tool which allows us to create line patterns or develop certain shapes that could be used in designing. These other things we learned can help make our designs unique and be utilized to make our designs different from others and express our learning of the program and creativity.
