Rocket

I was creating a postcard with a spaceship on it. Mainly I worked with tools I already knew how to use or they were panels on features I used previously, so most knowledge I had was expanded on. Shapes were important in this project.

One new feature was how to make stars with the shape tool. It differs from other shapes slightly, because you have to choose how many arms it has.
Another new tool I used was the Shaper tool, it has features that combine various tools, like the shape tool and the shape builder tool.
Next I used Behind mode and Inside mode, which affects how you manipulate selections without needing layers or worrying about bringing objects forward and backwards.
The other new feature was the Trace panel, which allowed me to manipulate the spaceship and take away the white space.
