Re-create this lightbulb using Illustrator - merge and blend shapes and use the pen tool.






Due by the end of the day on Thursday

Your goal is to create a precise and realistic re-creation of the lightbulb. You will be graded on the following criteria:

a. Accuracy/Realism (A: 10 marks)
b. Using as few points as possible (either using pen or shaper blending) (K: 5 marks)
c. Labelling/organizing of layers (K: 5 marks)

Please post your finished lightbulb on your blog with the original photo.
You'll have to export it as a png from Illustrator to post on your blog. Please also drop your .ai file in the CyberARTS drop off folder in the Yearbook folder. Year 2 Illustrator - Lightbulb

Write a short paragraph describing the following:
1. The techniques you used and how far you got (how much detail you could add to the lightbulb in the time given).
2. Did you have any difficulties and what did you find challenging if anything?
3. Did you learn anything new from the videos we watched and from doing this task?
