CORE2291 Design Lab 1: Project 2 Illustrator techniques
Project two requires students to trace the Coca-Cola script type and trademark on Adobe Illustrator and create 2 sets of patterns relating to Coca-Cola displaying them with presentation boards made in Adobe InDesign. For my patterns I went with a retro 80's/90's theme because I associate Coca-Cola with a theme of nostalgia. While working on this project I did gain some further appreciation and understanding of presenting your ideas and products, seeing this project come together made the frustrations working with illustrator worth it. I gained some more comfort in working with InDesign and understanding its functions. I have also learned more efficient ways of organizing projects and creating a more presentable professional project.
