ADVE2291 Digital Design Lab 1: Project 2 Illustrator Techniques

The goal for project two was to use Adobe Illustrator to recreate the Coca Cola logo along with two pattern designs based off of the original brand. I learned how to properly use the pen tool to make shapes with minimal points. I also learned the basics of creating patterns in Illustrator. I got more practice with using tools such as the shape builder and gradient tool. This project helped me practice using the pen tool as well.
