In todays lesson we were assigned a Christmas task, this was where we had to design our own christmas design and follow and set of instruction from a website, that can be found here: http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-create-a-christmas-jumper-pattern-in-illustrator
What did I know before?
Before I had basic experience in shapes and how to rotate/colour them, I was also aware of how to duplicate a shape by holding down 'alt'.
What have I learnt?
Today I have learnt how to merge two shapes together. This can be done via the 'Pathfinder' tab. You select the shapes you wish to merge by holding shift and click them both, and then click the 'Unite' icon on the far left. Once this is done you will have a shape that has merges various shapes together.
Here is the final version of that poster:
You can also find a time-lapse video of the process here:
