This week, I worked through the UTFC banners I was assigned, the Shape and Pattern Training module, and How to Manipulate Shapes training module.

Shapes and Pattern Training
In this module, I learned about the effect that shapes can have on conveying a certain meaning about the design. Following the KB training, I was introduced to geometric vs organic shapes, shape psychology, Gestalt theory, and visual hierarchy.
The first part of this assignment included creating shapes based on their “personality”.
Following an introduction to theme and personality, I worked on an assignment that related to visual hierarchy.
The tutorial also covered making a pattern and creating organic shapes using pathfinder and the curve tool.
How to Manipulate Shapes
In this training module I learned to transform shapes, and better take advantage of Ai tools that create complex shapes.
