To create the image above, I followed these steps:
  1. Searched for an image of Jon Stewart on Google
  2. Saved and cropped the image removing extra scenery
  3. Downloaded the "eyes" logo and re-sized it to fit the eyes in the image
  4. Used the ellipse tool to select and copy the logo
  5. Pasted the image over the eyes in the image of Jon Stewart
  6. Used the rectangle selection tool and filled it to make a black box on the bottom
  7. Added various phrases using the text too, changing font color and type for each

This is a screen capture of my Vector Graphics House for Midterm #10

I created the above image in MS Word. I used various shapes (rectangles, triangles, circles, etc) to create the house, windows and door. I then used circles and rectangles to create the children followed by some free hand drawing for the fingers and balloon strings. The clouds and bushes are modified "thought balloon" shapes and the sun is pre-made art.
