ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR

I'm taking a class online through reneepearson.com to learn Adobe Illustrator CS4. Renee was one of my digital scrapbooking heros...she's amazing. This class is being taught by Laura Coyle and she's pretty amazing too. Check out her website....woweeeee! The class is pretty cool. What I've learned so far is that almost anything can be made graphically using shapes. You don't necessarily need to be an artist...at least that's what I'm hoping. I really need a ton of practice since I'm a firm believer in the fact that you can only get better by "doing". So, the first week we used the shapes and then this past week we worked with color. The three graphics above were made using a combo of both lessons. What I couldn't figure out is how to resize and blah, blah so that I could show you these here on the blog...oh well...that's for another day. For now, just thought I'd share a little peek with you.
