LESSON 06!

Heyyyy! 

Today we learnt more about illustrator! Tools such as direct selection, shape, colours, scale, pen tools, type, rotate, scale and place is what I learnt today. I did know any of these before coming so I was looking like this..

However, as the lesson progressed and with Ms Sng's patience (Thanks Ms Sng for helping me so much! ^^) , I began to understand so much more and I got it!

The first thing we learnt is to plan before we start and to break it into layers! 

For example, this lion mascot had so many layers before it became this: 

This part of the lesson was really useful considering that our CA is to create a mascot for our t-shirt brand. 

Next, we learnt about typography and the fonts that we could use for our design. That's when this website was introduced to us and it was really cool to see the different fonts! 

This website is http://www.1001freefonts.com and it had so many different fonts that can be used!

And it super easy to install as well, by clicking download for Mac and then opening the ZIP file would help to install the font in your computer!

Here's my name in Caveman font! 

I thought this lesson was one that was really useful and helpful with the CA assignment! Though, it seemed a little hard in the beginning, I believe with some practice, I would be able to do it and who knows, maybe I'll become a Illustrator Pro! Or, well maybe not, hehe :D

That's all, folks! :)
