Justification paper link || The drawing I created with the pen utilized paths to design the fire, and then fill the areas with color. ||  || carin test ||   ||   || I created my drawing encouraging kids to get "fired up about reading" using the pen tool. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I grouped several objects to repeat them in my argyle creation. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I think this is an interesting issue, that some colors are meant for print and others for the eye. All of my projects incorporated an awareness of this, but it was definitely important in my argyle so that it was pleasing to the eye. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I used alignment to create a perfect bulls eye. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I used the ruler, guidelines, and grid tools to create my "on target reading" bulls eye. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I used scaling to make sure the circles in my bulls eye were the right sizes compared to one another. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I rotated many items, but the most use I got out of it was making the argyle pattern. ||  ||   ||   ||   || I used reflection to create my Spartan mascot propaganda :). ||   ||   ||   ||   || Among other times, I used the free transform tool in the creation of my new alphabet letter to freely resize, rotate, and scale my letter combination, and I also used it when sizing the outline and text box in my Hawaii photo. ||   ||   ||   ||   || I exported all my files from illustrator as .jpg files so that they would maintain good quality resolution as well as to be a suitable file type to upload to the wiki. ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
