Project Description:

In this project, I designed a clock with shelves following the step-by-step instructions provided, using the fundamental tools and techniques learned in the course.

  1. Clock Creation:

    • I started by using the Ellipse Tool to create a simple, clean clock face.
    • Then, I added the clock hands using the Line Segment Tool, ensuring proper alignment and proportion.
    • To finish the clock, I used the Text Tool and Shape Tool to add numbers and markers around the edge for a classic clock design.
  2. Designing Shelves:

    • I used the Rectangle Tool to draw shelves below the clock, making sure they were evenly spaced and aligned using the Align Panel for precision.
  3. Adding Tchotchkes:

    • I added various small items like books, plants, and vases on the shelves using basic shapes and the Shape Builder Tool to combine and refine the objects.
  4. Filling the Shelves:

    • I got creative by filling the shelves with personal touches, including different styles of plants, books, and decorative elements.
    • I experimented with colors and shapes to give each shelf character and make the design visually appealing.
  5. Expanding the Scene:

    • To further enhance the space, I added a stylish coffee table and a cozy chair, perfect for reading.
    • I also created some wall art with framed posters and drew colorful flower pots to make the room feel warm and inviting.

This project allowed me to practice a variety of Illustrator tools, including the Shape Builder Tool, Pathfinder Panel, and Align Panel, helping me develop my design skills while adding my personal touch. I had a lot of fun bringing this room to life and exploring creative ways to fill the shelves with unique items.
