Illustrator Days 8-12

Project Description:  In my project, I used Adobe Illustrator to create various shapes and patterns.  I constructed two keys, with help from the compound path tool.  I made circles with different levels of transparency and opacity.  I made a pear with the brush tool.  I also made star configurations with the brush tool.  I used a tutorial to guide me through this practice.  Day 8: Using Brushes | Day 9: Creating Compound Paths | Day 10: Working with Color and Strokes | Day 11: Editing Objects, Layers & Groups | Day 12: Transparency & Graphic Styles

New Skills, Processes & Tools Learned:

1. Drawing Tools: Brush Tool
2. Windows: Graphics Window, Transparency Window, Brush Window
3. Skills: Reflection, Transparency, Creating Compound Paths

Self Reflection:  I feel as though I did a pretty good job on this Illustrator Practice.  Some parts took a bit longer than others, however, I figured them out along the way.  I felt as though the hardest part was making the circles transparent and opaque.  This gave me the most trouble, and it also took me the longest.

Participation/Project: 8/10.  I feel that some parts of the project I performed well, and others I struggled with.
