Pancake Breakfast Flyer
What I had to do is make a flyer for a pancake breakfast for the 9/11 memorial.
Shmigle Orchards
For this project we were asked to make a flyer for an apple orchard. By using illustrator I was able to create all the shapes and words I needed. To make the apple I got a picture of one then traced the outline of it with the pen tool, this gave me the curves of the apple. Then for the border I had made a tree using multiple circles of different shades and grouped them all together. For the tree trunk I had just used a rectangle tool and made I brown and used filter effects on it. For the words I had used a text box and type on a path for the tile of the orchard. The only challenge I faced during this project was using the pen tool because I was new to it and wasn't quite sure how to use it without making a pointing curve. I made this challenge easier by practicing with the pen tool on a blank document. I am happy with my final product, but if I could change one thing it would be to change the look of my trees.

Penny Social Flyer
This project was to advertise for a Penny Social at an elementary school. We were asked to make it eye catching and child appropriate. To make this flyer I had made the tree with the pen tool shaping at a real as I could. Then for the leaves I traced over one from Google so it would look realistic. I used the same leaf over and over with the stamp tool. To change the shades I used various options within the stamp tool: resizing etc. Then for all of the text I used text boxes and changed size and color of font as I typed. The colors I had used represent the welcoming of fall and the happiness it can bring. Challenges I had faced was the tree, it was vey difficult to shape. Also, resizing the leaves to what looked proportional was hard. How I resolved this was by practicing a lot. I am happy with my final product; if I could improve it I would just fix the leaves at the bottom to be a little smaller and colorful.
