From the different exercises in this mod, I learned to make a cool sticker and some flare effects in Illustrator. I can use these when I design graphics for Websites and other design documents. I learned how to use different settings and how to make flares with different sizes and opacity to create a cool design. The sticker lesson was interesting with the different layers sandwiched together. It gave me some great ideas I hope to implement in the future in designing graphics for Web design as well as other design projects.

I also learned a lot from the different readings about the importance of planning before designing Websites. I believe this concept applies to all aspects of the design process. It is always a good idea to plan before beginning a project. It is interesting to me how much the design process is the same across the board for all design projects. Plan, do research, organize, sketch or map out, prioritize and then begin designing.
