In this summative, we learned how to use the pen tool for a variety of exercises. The pen tool is a tool used to create more complex shapes than any of the basic choices by using straight and curved lines. In the first assignment, we were assigned to use the pen tool to trace various Superhero symbols. We also learned how to twist and contort the pen lines. In the second assignment, we learned how to manipulate a line's anchor points and how to crop and 'mask' images. For my final illustration, I did two images using the Joker's face. In the first image(on the left), I cut and placed a picture of Heath Ledger's Joker(The Dark Knight Returns) on top of an image of Snufkin(Moomin Valley). In the second image(on the right), I used an image of Bruce Wayne(The Dark Knight Trilogy) as the base and photoshopped Joaquin Phoenix's Joker(The Joker 2019) on top of his face. I had a lot of fun making these, but there was one main challenge; I couldn't think of any combinations of characters that would be interesting. To over come this challenge, I just thought of a few characters that I enjoyed, and just slapped them together..

This scene is important to me because it is something I do on a regular basis. What inspired me to draw a golf course was, of course, me playing golf. I play golf regulairly, about twice or thrice a week. Golf is one of the main things I do each week, going out to practice on the weekends and after school on weekdays. That's the main reason I wanted to draw a sample golf hole. At the top is the putting ground, surrounded by two bunkers. Below it are the rough and the fairway. Surrounding the hole is a small lake. The squares at the bottom are the tee boxes.
In this lesson, we learned how to use, customize and change shapes in CorelVector. I found it interesting how many ways you can customize shapes, with there being options for rounding corners, increasing the number of points on the object and etc.
What we learned in this lesson was how to use layers, how to group and how to align. We learned a few more keyboard shortcuts for grouping and alignment. It was interesting to see how well the alignments and groupings worked.
In this lesson, we learned how to use fills and borders. It was interesting to test how far we could go with the border options.
In this lesson, we learned how to use selection tools. We also learned keyboard shortcus to the pointer and subselector tools. We also learned how to upload projects from our computers rather than cloud. It was interesting to see the amount of tools CorelVector has.
In this lesson, we learned how to use pages and formatting. We also learned how to change fonts and colors. We learned how to put all the pages into one large page. I found it interesting how many ways there are to format.
I do not have much experience with graphic design. I know graphic design is widely used to appeal to a certain audience, and it can be applied to many different areas, such as advertising a product, explaining a point, or making something visually appealing. The most experience I've had with graphic design is last year when I would use Canva and Google Slides to make posters for various classes.
