Skylar Zelenko's Cornucopia


In order to make my cornucopia I selected a 1000x1000 canvas with the resolution set to 200. Then I set my background to a pumpkin orange. If you look in my cornucopia there are various fruits and vegetable like corn, pumpkin, squash, grapes, apples, tomatoes, sweet peas, potatoes, garlic, etc. For each one these items, I made a different layer and named each one by the contents. For example my first layer would be named basket, in which I would make my basket. If you notice each one of my vegetables and fruits have all started off with a circle, other then the leaves. In order to do this I had to move around the different points with my white arrow to adjust the item to the appropriate shape. To make mutiple fruits and vegetables, I pressed Ctrl+Alt while holding them, and it duplicated the object. I changed the fill for each of these with the appropriate color, and used the pencil tool to makes stems. I also I added some textures and patteren, which you will see if you look closely at the corn or the tomato tops. To make my basket I added circles and made them get smaller behind each other. For my leaves I added stars, while moving around the points it began to look like a leave. I changed each of the leaves sizes and colors to give it fall spirit. Then I pressed Crtl+Alt once again to duplicate the leaves. I also added two text boxes one in the lower right corner and one in the top right corner. I chose a font to fit with my Thanksgiving theme. Thankyou for reading my blog!
