In this software session, I felt i learnt alot, we looked at a lot of different features on illustrator, that i never knew existed for example the width tool, blob bush, these features are so simple, but really important to know. They will help me in further projects.
Notes:
Notes:
- Width tool – makes strokes bigger, adds shape, varys your stroking.
- Blob Brush – Double click, change angles, change sizes, draw with strokes, ideal for quick sketches
- Brushes – Create a path, brush library, create own brush, drag and drop brushes you have created into brushes and rename, to edit brush, double click
- Brushes to apply text – type, then drag brush on top
- Download brushes – find in library
- Bristle Brush – Double click, change settings
- Patterns effect – Draw circles, Distor and transform, choose one bloat, object- expand appearance (turns into a shape)
- Symbols – Useful and quick, break chain link (bottom panel), spray can works on symbols, symbol scruncher tool, changes sizes and multiples them.
- Graphic Styles – Draw line stroke 20pt, apperance box add new stroke, change colour, change pt size, create new graphic style, no fill.
- Blends – Useful for eregular shaped objects.
- Gradient mesh – object
