Unit 2 Reflection On my first day of learning Unit 2, we were tasked with using Adobe Illustrator to draw a face, a hat and a burger. I found this a really interesting and engaging task. I found it a little bit tricky on this day as I had never used Adobe Illustrator before. The next lesson we were showed some animal clip arts. It was our task to recreate three of these animals in Adobe Illustrator. The task was really helpful as it allowed me to develop my illustrator skills and learn new ways to do things in the programme. Over the next few weeks and lessons we spent more time on trying to perfect our Illustrator skills. We did this by having to draw thing like Ice lollies, Shoes, Logos, creating wallpapers and drawing three items from our rooms. Each of these tasks were challenging in their individual ways depending on what the item was were trying to draw. Once I had completed all of these tasks I was now feeling confident in my skills with illustrator. The next task
