Illustrator Final Project...so it begins...
We have 4 weeks to complete the assignment. We had to choose replicating a game board or computer game interface...or...design a step-by-step instructional poster (which to me, seems elementary...so I chose the game board). I could NOT wait to get started though I really dreaded the detail in the game board of Pictionary which I selected. After a few hours spent in Illustrator; however, I realized that the drawing becomes quite addictive, and I really accomplished a lot in my first sitting.
Here is the original photo:
W.I.P. so far...(1st sitting in Illustrator):
Hey look...it's me...in Vector!
Well, of course, I couldn't resist dumping the Illustrator-crafted image into Photoshop for a spell while I highlighted, and burned away...and well of course...we know what this means...my Vector-masterpiece then turns to Raster...but hey...old habits die hard. Though I'm beginning to LOVE Illustrator, I'm forever attached to Photoshop and I really think at this point Adobe should give this hard-working student a sponsorship (i.e. FREE SOFTWARE) just for plugging their name a-gazillion times! I wonder if they'd do so if I vowed to name my first-born "Adobe". Don't laugh. I've seriously considered it!
Anyhow, without further adieu...here is this week's project for Illustrator class:

We had to start with an image of a human. This is me in my recovering-from-baldness days as my hair started to grow back:
Here is the assignment with requirements fulfilled (designed using tones and tints, each a separate shape in Illustrator):
And...ta DA! The Stacey-souped 'er up in Photoshop version:

The clip was rather tedious, but overall I am happy with my gradients.
