This portfolio entry is from my Dream Ride project from first term. I chose it because of the sheer amount of work that went into it. While the overall look is quite nice, it's attention to the little details and shadows that most stood out to me when looking back on it. Using Illustrator it was nice to be able to use the gradient mesh tool to simulate those rounded corners of the car. Transparencies and shadows also played a large role in adding some realism to the windshield and floor. This was my first completely regulated Illustrator project where I took care of all my nodes and their placement, making sure there were no incomplete paths or errors anywhere. Looking at it now it looks a little dated as I have been working with the Illustrator frequently since then but I still enjoy seeing it and asking my friends and family if they can tell it apart from the real car at a distance. That's always fun.
