Project 1 - Jacob

I used the Merge Drawing tool to create a circle to make the sun, I used the Object drawing to make the stars, and I used the Primitive Shapes to make the planets. At this point I guess I would have to say I prefer the Merged Drawing because it seems you can do more things to them.
I used the pencil tool to create the sun’s rays, then I used the pen tool to add anchor points and then bend them slightly using the Bezier curves. I used the brush object to paint the background of the picture black, and fill in some of the stuff on the page with ‘paint behind’ and ‘paint inside buttons’.
I made one of the planets using the gradient tool with a modified focal point, and the draw effect ‘grid fill’ on the background. I used the free-transform tool to distort some stuff.
