| The third term introduced me to Adobe Illustrator and the world of vector graphics. This concept wasn't new to me because I have been a CAD operator for the last fifteen years. The use of vectors is an integral part of CAD, but with a less artistic flare. Illustrator mixes the precision of CAD with the power to introduce an artistic touch into your work. It also is much more versatile in its uses. |

| This self-portrait was the first project of the class. We were asked to take a photo of ourselves (inset) and trace it, trying to stay as close to the original image as possible. |

| For the Mid-Term project we had to create a poster that focused on an event in our local area. I chose to do a poster for the jazz festival because there is a competition every year for that year's poster. The competition had past when I did this poster, but I may enter it this year. The nice thing about computer graphics is that you can go back and make edits without having to redo the entire project. |

| The last project of the term we had to develop a series of signs for a zoo. The main signs for each area could use words, but the directional signs within each habitat area could only use icons. I chose to use silhouettes for the directional signs because the shapes of the animals would be recognizable at greater distances. |
