More Illustrator Learnin'

In addition to the blend tool, we also learned how to combine shapes to create new objects.  I think (hope?) this is what Dwayne meant by the "ring tutorial" he said he gave us.  We then used the 3D filter to add depth to text (and other objects).  Below are my results of these tutorials.

Yes, National Annoy A Graphic Designer Day does use the trifecta of rainbow colors, Comic Sans, and Papyrus.  It also has "A" capitalized to annoy grammar teachers.  I was going to add a lens flare, too, but that just would have been mean.

We also had to make 5 "3d objects."  Yeah... I wasn't able to finish.  I got SOMETHING, though!
