In this exercise, the main focus was to incorporate symmetrical and asymmetrical designs into illustrator. 
Project 1: Photography & Drawing
The first portion of this project is focused around photography, capturing point, line, and shape within our photos.
Narrowing down our thirty photos to only six, we reference and muster them into designs that include shape, line, and point.
Then using our thumbnail designs, we were able to create a final composition in 18″x 24″ paper.
Gradient Tool Exercise
This exercise focuses the importance of gradience as well as movement within shapes.
12×12 Graphite on paper
This nonobjective composition was a selection of a 6×6 charcoal on newsprint and was supposed to display what we hear through our music.
Sketchbook Exercise
In our sketchbooks, we were supposed to create a series of achromatic sketches of featuring crisp geometric and organic lines. Then a series of geometric shapes featuring depth.
Transparency Project
The objective of the assignment was to create a series of compositions focused around one topic or idea, which in this case was candy. Using the Transparency, Opacity, Clipping Mask, and Pen Tool functions, I was able to create a sense of static and movement in my designs.
Sketchbook Exercise: Clothes
The following image contains a contour drawing of clothes that were sprawled out on the floor. I chose the unfolded clothes because of the complex folds. 
Sketchbook Exercise: Dinner
The next sketch contains only lines and the subject matter has to do with food. I chose salad because of all the complex lines that the individual salad has.
Sketchbook Exercise: Sneakers
In this exercise, I was supposed to spend at least 1 hour drawing a countour drawing of a shoe, which was supposed to only use line and not any shades.
Working With Links In Illustrator
Placing a file into Illustrator causes a link to be followed up by the image. Placing an image into Illustrator is possibly the easiest way to place your image into another document.
