For this project, we were tasked with creating a set of tools using the shape builder tool in Adobe Illustrator. I really wanted to challenge myself and experiment with the gradient tool to create a 3D effect. This project was a boot camp in my Digital Imaging class, and it has helped me with my design skills immensley.

The foundation of this project was to use shapes and the shape builder tool to create a set of tools. I was determined to push my limits with this project, aiming to create tools that looked as lifelike as I could manage using Adobe Illustrator. I used the freeform gradient tool for the the metal pieces on the hammer and pliers. These two tools were the most difficult because of the many ridges they have.
