Illustrator Tutorials

Tutorial #1

    I think the tools that will be easy to use are the shape tools such as rectangle and star because it allows you to create a basic shape without using multiple lines. I really like the star tool and how you can increase the number of points the star has. You might use that tool for designing space-themed posters or designing logos. I think the pen tool might be hard to use but I think it will come in handy when trying to make custom shapes. I really like how the brush tool smooths out the brush strokes you make so it looks neater and it would be great to make custom fonts. 

Tutorial #2

    I think the tool that will be easy to use is the text tool because it allows you to type texts in so many various ways. I think using the type on a path tool will be the most useful when creating logos because it will allow you to wrap a text around a symbol. I think the eraser tool would be really useful for getting rid of small things without completely deleting the object and starting over. I think the fx tool will be really helpful in adding cool effects to projects and trying out different styles. I found the video interesting because I taught me how simple Illustrator actually is and how it has so many useful tools. 

Tutorial #3

    I think the tool or shortcut that will be easy and useful to use is holding shift to scale objects proportionally. You don't want to stretch your objects when scaling them so holding shift will help you maintain the same shape but larger. I think the eyedrop tool will be easy to use and will be really helpful to apply the same color to multiple areas. The direct selection tool seems easy to use and it might be useful to create custom shapes by easily moving singular points. What I found interesting about the video is how there are so many useful shortcuts within Illustrator that help easily modify things in professional ways.
