https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKFZjRV7L_Q In the first video, I learned about the pen tool. Based on my attempt to use it in illustrator and after this video, I think it'll be fairly easy. It seems like a simple tool to use, but at first I believe it'll be a challenge. I know you can use the pen tool by using paths, that create to control points. If you don't close all the shapes, then it'll just be a big open group of lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJWPdicD1pI The second video I watched was about the paint brush and how to use it.

For this project, I thought about what would really represent me. At first, I thought about those name tags people get that say "Hello, my name is..." so I kind of took that idea and ran with it, Hence, the reason for the boarders. Then I added some colors that I thought would help make it pop. Personally I like the blue and green as well as the purple and green color combinations the best. The red and yellow is very McDonalds looking. Attached are some of my inspiration.
