CORE2291 Design Lab 1 : Project 2 Illustrator Techniques
For this project I did a redraw of the Coca-Cola logo. There were two different finished products and color choices. Since Im not the best with Illustrator this project was a good refresher and put my skills to the test. I learned a-lot of different techniques that I didn't know before, but I also remembered lots of the basic tools and skills as well. Prior to this project I was familiar with most of the tools such as the pen tool, shape builder, and gradient. I definitely gained more practice time with organization by naming the layers and how to use the different tool panels and go more in depth with them and what they do.

Visual Exploration : Pattern Design
Below are some inspiration images for my idea process. I wanted to do something similar to the first image because I liked the simplicity of it, but mine turned out a little more than simple. I came up with two pattern designs, one is darker in color and the other is more lively.

This is my first pattern design idea. Green is my favorite color so I decided to use it.
This is an updated version of my first design.
This is my second design. I wanted to use brighter colors instead of more dull.
This is the final mood board!
