Week1_Out_of_Class

Started the video lessons with a quick description and example of how vector (can be scaled without losing resolution) vs raster (cannot be scaled without losing resolution). Went over basic functions of illustration including some handy shortcuts. Also reviewed tools and the purpose such as the pen tool, fill and stroke. Overview of interface and where the Illustrator panels are and what they do. Learned to use locking and hiding to work more efficiently and to avoid selecting objects/layers that you do not want to at that time. I learned the difference between directly selecting and group selecting using both the direct select and group select arrow tools. I also learned how to adjust objects and artwork using the tools at hand to make my work efficient and productive. I now can alter my artwork in multiple ways including grouping, shrinking and making larger and rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise.
