1. In as much detail as possible record the steps it took to create this project in Adobe illustrator. Use complete sentences.​ Try to recall as many of the different tools, shapes, and keyboard commands as possible. 

​

- Starters, I went on and did a practice robot to get the hang of  using the different tools, shapes and keyboard commands. After finishing the practice robot I went to create my own and final AI robot. I decided to make my robot into an "AI Panda Robot", the shapes I used for the Panda robot is the rectangle shape tool to create its body and head I used the widgets on the rectangle shape to round the edges to make it look smoother. For the paws, arms, fingers, the floating rays to portray the Panda Robot hovering, I used the ellipse shape tool. I made it wider to make the arms and smaller for the bolts and little small wider ellipse shapes to make the claws and its digital visor glasses, I also used the same technique with the bamboo on its back but made it thinner and longer and used the pen tool to add the little details on the bamboo. After I was satisfied with all my shapes I went ahead and use the selection tool to drag and rearrange my shapes where I want them to be. How I achieve the metal gradient color on my AI's body, I used the stroke and fill appearance.  After seeing my work come together and satisfied I grouped all my shapes together to be able to move and resize it as a whole without the other shapes moving individually. To transfer my robot to my Wix website, I export my work as "Export as" and the check mark use art-board then the check mark the range, select range then type 2 for art-board 2 cause thats where I created my AI robot, hen I format it to a PNG, saved it to my student folder then selected my background as transparent then pressed export.

2. What are vector graphics? How do they differ from raster graphics? Give an example for how you would use each type of graphic?

​

-  An easy way to tell if an image is raster or vector is to increase its size. If the image becomes blurred or pixelated, it's most likely a raster file. With vector image files, resolution is not an issue. You can resize, rescale, and reshape vectors infinitely without losing any image quality. An example how I would each type of graphic is when I want a non pixelated shape I would use vector graphics.

3. In addition to Raster Vs Vector graphics, what are at least 3 major similarities between and difference between Adobe photoshop and Illustrator? 

​

 - Major similarities are the shape tools, pen tools, and the art-boards. 3 major differences are the panel's, some tools on the tool bar and Adobe illustrator has more of a larger art-board than Adobe.

4. Based on the learning target, "Interpret and explain terminology and practices specific to the graphic design sector by illustrating a Robot using 5 essential Ai skills such as creating art boards, drawing shapes, combining shapes, changing colors and using the pen tool " what level of mastery does your project demonstrate (Exceeds, Meets, Needs Work, minimal understanding). Why do you think so? Make sure to provide specific evidence.

​

- Based on the learning target I would give myself an "Exceed". I met all the requirements as well as following what is needed to be included in my AI robot, I demonstrated my Ai skills by creating a second art-board for my final robot and creating different shapes, combining the shapes into one, changing the colors to not only solid colors but used the gradient metallic palette to make my AI robot look like an actual metal robot. I  used the pen tool to make the little details on the bamboo spears behind my Panda Ai Robot. I do believe that I could have done better with my creativity on this project but I will make sure to do better on our next project.
