Learning, Learning, Learning

Been a great couple of days, spent alot of time learning some new things about Adobe Dreamweaver, and using some of the things I've learned in Adobe Illustrator. My wife has this great machine called a Cricut, and she has been learning how to design new patterns. I have been trying to learn what she's been doing and have actually been able to create a couple of pretty cool patterns that if I can perfect them, she can cut them out. It's a different kind of thinking process when working with this machine, usually when working in Adobe programs you work with layers to produce the desired effect you want on the screen. When designing graphics to cut out you have to think of the objects as a separate item, which will be cut out on different pieces of paper. It's and outside the box thing for me. But pretty cool when you get it to work correctly...she belongs to this really cool forum where the members trade patterns and ideas and help each other figure out how to create the patterns they need. It's called SVGCUTS.COM

  2. I met Suzan on SVG cut forum. She told me to comment you and tell what I need to learn in illustrator. Well I can only trace coloring pages. My fiance is a computer man like yourself and he is trying to learn also. He actually made the 2 goofies on my blog. But anything you do will help me greatly.
    Thanks

  3. We need to learn how to trace by hand and live trace. How to make fold lines. Make images from objects (you know the cute bow you made last night. In really simple easy steps.
