Graphic Design I- Illustrator Duck exercise

Duck

 

 

For this project, it was asked that we show where we stand with using the Illustrator program. This was our first project in GDES I. My work fulfills the project by tracing over the duck object while creating clean lines for the duck’s body and pupils. The design decisions that I went through with were taking my time to create a well shaped duck and making sure to make the eyes look consistent and not goofy. Where my piece lacks in design is where I needed to enhance my duck. We needed to create shading and highlights within the duck and I fell short on that part of the assignment because I was trying to create a better body all around for my duck. At this point in my design career I was wobbly using Illustrator tools, but where my design practice has taken me towards the end of the semester this year, my skill has improved tremendously.
