1) Downloaded the jpg of the Hawaiian Shirt that was provided

2) Open Illustrator. Start a new Tabloid Document that is 11 x 17 inches

3) Open the jpg of the Hawaiian Shirt and place it in the middle of the page. Double click the image layer and set it as a template.

4) Using the Pen Tool (P), I began creating the outline/shape of the shirt panels

5) After I was done creating the panels and layering them in the correct order, I got rid of the template of the Hawaiian Shirt jpg

6) Opened a New Document, I began working on the design that would become my shirt pattern. I chose an eyeball. So using the Ellipse Tool (L), I became creating a composition using circles. I tested colours and gradients to see what I liked and didn't like.

7) Using the Pencil Tool (N) I drew the red veins on the sphere of the eyeball. Using the same tool I created the severed muscle that is attached to the eye

8) I used the Live Paint Bucket (K) to fill some of the details including the black. I gave the eyeball and the iris a Radial Gradient to add dimension and make the eyeball look more spherical. I wanted this design to have a lot of contrast while still looking very stylized and graphic.

9) Once I finished the design, I made it into a pattern. Object > Pattern > Make. I explored the Pattern Panel and arranged the pattern until I was happy with it.

10) I began applying the base colour of my shirt as well as the pattern I just created. On the sleeves, I used the Rotate Tool (R) and holding down (~) to slightly rotate the design to give it a more realistic look. Again, while holding (~) and using the arrow keys, I moved the pattern to off set it slightly to make like the fabric was overlapping in places

11) I made the stroke of each panel a width of 2 points. Using the Width Tool (Shift+W) I made adjustments to emphasize certain areas to suggest a shadow where the seams of the shirt met.

12) I started a New Document and began working on my button. I arranged the colours on the gradient scale until the button looked more realistic. I created a base colour and two different highlights

13) Using the Line Segment Tool (\) I was able to create the thread. I created multiple copies of the layer and made it a smaller width and a brighter colour to create some depth. Using the Appearance Panel, I duplicated the layer of both the thread and the button, I made them a very dark colour and added an effect, Blur > Gaussian Blur to create a shadow underneath the button

14) I opened a New Document once again to create the tag of the shirt. After finding an image of linen, I opened the image in the new document.

15) Using a combination of the Arc Tool and Ellipse Tool (L), I was able to create the shape of the eye Icon for the tag.

16) I drew the thread outlining the tag using the Pencil Tool (N), I then changed the stroke to be dashed.

17) For the type, I used size 18 Myriad Pro Front as suggested. I wanted to come up with something that went with my spooky Halloween inspired theme, I decided on a name for the tag, "Spook Inc".

18) Once I had all these components, I arranged them onto the tag. Lastly, created a layer underneath the tag using the Rectangle Tool (M), coloured it darkly and added the effect Blur > Gaussian Blur to add some depth 

19) With all of the components of the this assignment completed, I added them to the document with my shirt. I arranged the buttons and the tag. I duplicated certain panels of the shirt and coloured those layers darker and added the effect Blur > Gaussian Blur to add shadows where the material overlapped. This is the finished product.

CONCLUSION: I feel like a learned a lot from this assignment. It gave me a chance to really familiarize with Illustrator. I noticed that for some parts of this assignment, it was quick and easy for me to complete because I already knew how to do some parts of it. For others, I really had to refer back to the support material that I was provided with and continuously reference back to that. First looking at the assignment, I remember feeling really intimated because I felt like it was such a huge task. It still was a big task, but not as much as I anticipated and breaking it down into parts made it easier. I think the thing that was hardest to wrap my head around was how it all fit together. I found myself forgetting to create a new document for a new part of the assignment, and that would sometimes cause disruptions later on. There was a bunch of trail and error involved, but overall I'm happy with the results I got as a first try. I think if I were to do it this assignment again in the future, I would pay more attention to detail and possibly create a more visually interesting pattern.
