2nd Illustrator workshop

This workshop was based on creating our work solely using and manipulating shapes on illustrator. Starting with primitive shapes like rectangles, squares, circles ect. 

Key points:

• Use handles and toggles on shapes to manipulate and change them…
• Hold down alt to draw out from the centre point 
• Hold down shift to get completely proportionate circles, squares ect. 
• Use pathfinder to subtract or add shapes to one another - to make new shapes or to divide them up. 
• Using tools like reflect, move, rotate ect to multiple or make shapes go round, across, down ect in a certain direction…and then using 'transform again' to make multiples (good for windows on buildings)
