Friday, September 4, 2009 - Work with Vector Tools

Introduced vector images and tools. As a class, we created a fish in a new document. We used the grid option to provide guidelines while using the pen tool. The pen tool was utilized to display the curve point handles to change the shape of the top and bottom of our fish. The subselection tool allowed us to modify the eye which we first created using the ellipse tool.
