Lab Assignments:

Part One:

You assignment is to recreate the object as closely as possible - not just the outer border - recreate the entire graphic ! To see how you are doing, you can hide the layer with the object on it by turning off the eye icon in the layers palette.

These are JPG Files - so right click or Control Click to save them to your Hard Drive or USB drive. Create a new layer in Illustrator and then use the Place command on the file menu. Lock the layer and then start to copy the design on a layer on top of the locked layer.
