Assingment 3 - The Process

I use the sketch that I draw as a base for me to trace the the shape of the earth. I use ellipse tool to trace the shape of the earth and the sun.

And that I use the pencil tool to trace the shape of the map of the earth. I copy the first shape and resize it for another globe.

After I have finished tracing, I remove the sketch from my artwork.

I use the rectangle shape as it background. I apply black colour to the background and I send it to back so the earth and the sun appear in front of the background.

I paint the globe from the smallest to the biggest using hot and cold colour. I use gradient tool to create the gradient of colour in each globe. I also use the gradient tool to blend the red and yellow colour to paint the sun.

After that I select all the globe and the sun and I apply the effect of ink outlines from the brush strokes category.

I apply the effect of chalk and charcoal from the sketch category on the background.

I insert the text using the type tool to show my statement on the poster *(I am using Adobe Illustrator CS2 but I cannot save my ai file when I insert text in my poster).

Lastly, I add the flare tool to the sun to create an effect of sun shine in my poster.
