Task 1: Vormator Challenge

    In this task, we were given a set of shapes called the Vormator Shapes. We have to use this shape to make a character we want. Mr. Hafiz said we can make it as unique as possible. At first, I am confused on what to make since I had no idea on what to do, but then my thoughts just think about robots. So I made a robot for this task. I made the silhouette version and the non-silhouette version. I also add some glow to the robot since Mr. Hafiz said that we can use some effects and filters on the work.

REFLECTION

At first, I'm struggling since I didn't experience any use of Illustrator. It's a tough challenge, what I just did is just copy pasting shapes and assemble them into a character. But I'm glad that because of this task, I can atleast experience on how to do some illustration on Illustrator.
