Illustrator
Illustrator is a online graphic software. You can create complex drawings and logos, and images. Illustrator creates these by putting together a ton of tiny pixels.
Key Chain Project
To begin we would sign into illustrator using our google accounts. After that we would create a template for our key chain. The dimensions of the template will be 2.75 in by 1.75 in. Once you finished that. You will put the template in landscape mode and then create the template.
After the first step you will click the shape button and create a rectangle that fits in the dimensions of 2.75 in by 1.75. Also you could round your edges but I chose not to. You can also choose to fill the shape using the squares on the left but I choose not to
After you make the rectangle you click the shape tool again and click a circle and make a 0.2 inch circle. The circle can be placed anywhere in the rectangle. After you done that you can add text to your key chain I just put my name in it.
Once we are done with the text you need to find a black and white clip art to put on your key chain. Once you found the image you would copy and paste it in to illustrator and then resize it to the size you want it to be at. Finally you would click trace image on your image. Also you will need to change the stroke on the rectangle and the circle doing this you can click on the circle or the rectangle then going to properties and changing the color to red and changing the stroke size to 0.001. And once your done with that the last step is to save your key chain to a file on your computer
What I learned
During making the keychain I learned how to create a new workspace in illustrator. And create a shape and use images in the shape. But one thing I struggled with remembering all the steps. And what measurements needed to be for each thing in the key chain.
