Instructional Learning
It's been a lot of work the last few weeks, but not a lot I have to show you. I'll probably be uploading some of my 3D modeling exercises soon just to show you the process of my learning the programs. But until then, let me share with you my latest Illustrator creation.
The assignment was to create a 8.5" x 11" handout of a procedure that could be given to students at the Graham Clinical Performance Center at UIC. It was really fun for them to have our class in the clinic, demonstrating a variety of procedures for us to take notes on and pictures of for reference. And, boy, did I use a lot of references. Pictures and Youtube videos became my go-to for this project, because I am not familiar with any of these tools.
While the organic forms were easy to manipulate with the pencil and width tool, I found the clean, pristine lines needed to create the tool drills and needles to be a challenge. It became one of those 'I know what I want this to look like, but how do I get there?' challenges.
