文档介绍:Course Project Lab 3 - Creating a Logo (Illustrator)
In this lab you will learn to use Adobe Illustrator to create a vector-based design logo.
1. Start Illustrator. Open the file via the File>Open menu item. This file
contains two lizard images:
The red image consists of grouped vector objects that will make up the final logo,
once the missing object for the body has been created. The black image on the
right is a bitmap that has been placed into this Illustrator file to serve as template
and to help you create the body object.
In this lab, you plete the lizard logo and export it to use in your
. If you wish, you can also create plete lizard on your own,
using the template to help you.
2. To be able to retrace the body object of the lizard exactly, it is necessary to move
the template so that it is right beneath the red objects. To achieve this, you could
click on the template and drag it manually. This process however can be a little
urate. Thus it is a good idea, to take advantage of the Align Palette that
Illustrator offers. Open the Align Palette by clicking on Window > Show Align:
