Summarize the overall process you used to create your stickers.

First I started by going online to look for inspiration. I found stickers where little houses were inside vases and decided I wanted to do something similar. I started by sketching and then moved them to Adobe Illustrator. On Abobe, I use the curvature tool to make that vases and fish bowls. I started by making the different shapes inside the vases and fish bowls that were made using the pen and curvature tool. I colored them and used gradients to create dimension. After I finished creating my designs I created cutlines and then printed them.

What drawing tool did you utilize the most to recreate your designs as vector paths?

I use the curvature tool the most, it helped to create curved shapes and to curve shapes that were already created.​

​On a 4-point scale rate your proficiency level by using Ai drawing tools. Why? 

I would give myself a 3 on my proficiency skills using Ai drawing tools because can improve the way I use the tool and get to know what else the tools can be used for.

What Ai skills have you mastered at this point? Which ones would you like to practice more? What new skills are you interested in learning in the future? 

I believe that I have mastered the pen and curvature tool and shape builder tool. In the future, I would like to work on organizing my layers more. A new skill I would be interested in would be learning how to make things more realistic.

​How would you rate the overall success of your design and why?

I would give my overall success on my design a 4 because I really liked how my stickers came out and were able to learn more about the tools in Adobe Illustrator.
