Illustrator: Blood Drive Flyer

• 
  
  
  First, I created the heading which reads Blood Drive in large bubbly letters using text. Then, I used the rectangle tool to create the background, and I made it a teal color. Using the star tool, I created two stars one bigger than the other. In the bigger one, I put information about where and when the event is going to be. In the smaller star, I put information about giving blood. Next, I used the color box to fill both the stars in with red, and I made the stroke color white to make it pop out.

  After that, I used the pen tool to create a needle. To make it took fun, cute, and not so scary I drew a face and heart, still using the pen tool. With the pen tool, I then made a band aid. Next, I put an important fact on the band aid in larger text so it catches the audience's eye. Then, with the pen tool once again, I created a pulse line. To the left of the pulse line I wrote my slogan, which is "You could save a life". Finally, I made the font big and highlighted the word "life" and made a bit bigger, then I made it red so it pops out.

  In my project I used several elements. One element I used was line. I used this element when creating my images with the pen tool. Another was color. I used the colors white, red, and teal so each object would pop out to the eye. Also, I used the element of shape. I used this element when I created my stars. Finally, when creating my flyer, I made sure I used space so everything was clear and not cramped up.
