New spaceship project!!

 Project description:  Our latest project was to make a spaceship with adobe illustrator.  We kind of had everything laid out for us on a tutorial which was really very good.  If you're interested in trying it, go to http://www.denisdesigns.com/blog/2009/03/create-a-simple-spaceship-in-illustrator/...it wasnt super hard and it didn't take an incredibly long time.

New skills/processes/tools learned:  In the tutorial we worked a lot with pathfinder, which was new for me.   Within the pathfinder window we used new tools such as subtract from shape tool area.  We also used shapes with opacity to make shadows on the spaceship.  This tutorial made everything kind of come together because for example i would never have thought to make shadows out of translucent shapes.

Shape tools: ellispse tool, rectangle tool

Drawing tools: pen tool

Self Reflection: I tried my hardest on this project to make my spaceship look like the spaceship in the tutorial and even tried to go a little bit beyond what i had to do by putting the stars in the background.  The only thing i would say i was less successful with was the fin of the spaceship which isn't quite the shape that i wanted.
