Lab6: Vector Shapes

This lab is very similar to lab5, but in this lab we use the shape tool( rectangle tool, rounded rectangle tool, ellipse tool, polygon tool, line tool, and custom shape tool) to re-draw the image. Since the landscape i drew had some smooth edges it was difficult to redraw it using shapes and it ended up like i had some major budget cuts, but i still like it. the objective of this lab was to redraw the image i drew only using shapes, which would lead to it being challenging because there is not enough freedom like in the paint brush tool. The way I did this lab was to first find out what shapes could replace the object that i drew such as triangle could act like the mountains and the rest were mainly created using rectangles. The river i created by using the custom shape tool and selected the page shape and just connected various pages to create a wavy river, also the moon was made using a custom shape tool.
    This is relevant to Visual Design because in certain situations it is better to have a specific effect to create a relevant image to what you want it for such as a project or an ad. it could be possible that you need to create an image that is simple but still has detail and that is when the skills learned in this lab become extremely useful. the way i see myself using these tools in the future is when wanting to create an image that doesn't have an excessive amount of detail but enough detail so it doesn't look as if a toddler drew it.
