scrap sheet


  • In this exercise my teacher demonstrated the different strategies that were needed in order to complete this project
  • We learned how to use type text and create outlines, ungroup shapes, choose different fonts and Add shapes together
  • In the second part of the tutorial we learned how to subtract shapes from a background and make them different colors
  • Lastly, i learned how to substitute pictures from the internet for various letters


  • The hardest part of the exercise was figuring out clever logo designs for the various words
  • The easiest part was making various words into stack text designs



This exercise was really useful in order for me to continue on to making my logo design.

i would rank myself a 9 on the exercise

8-12 tutorial


  • in this tutorial we learned how to use the pen tool as well as to add shapes together, divide shapes and groups them.
  • In order to do so, you must first create a desired shapes and then select them all and go to pathfinder
  • Next you must select the Add button and then click expand


  • www.verctordiary.com was used to do this tutorial

  • The hardest part of this tutorial was filling in compact shapes different colors. but once i learned that all that needed to be done was go to object, live paint and then press release; the rest was easy.
  • The easiest part of the tutorial was adding different shapes together. all that needed to be done was overlap different shapes then select them and go to pathfinder and press Add.


In effect, this tutorial i found was quite useful. i was able to make different shapes into one.
