DAY 1 - 10
Inspired by Tiantian Xu, a talented designer friend of mine, I started my 100 days of design challenge with tutorials.
Before diving right into the innovative creation part, I decided to follow tutorials and be more familiar with the design software. I believe learning and practicing these skills will prepare me a good foundation and open more possibilities for my future design.
I started with the solar system planet series by following How to Create a Solar System Planets Icon Pack in Adobe Illustrator written by Andrei Stefan. I practiced my skills with the pen tool, pathfinders path offset tool, clipping masks, etc.
