When creating this vector image, my goal was to keep it simple to develop my proficiency in both Tinkercad and Adobe Illustrator. My first few steps consisted of drawing 3-inch line segments, which I grouped to create two equilateral triangles. I then used the join tool to generate pointed edges on all sides of the triangle. Next, I used the rotate and align tools to develop the Star of David. I then made two line segments, positioned them in a cross formation, and aligned them with the center of the star. Finally, I created ellipses, which I positioned at the top of the star to serve as a bail in the chance that I use my design as a pendant.
I decided to design this ‘star-cross’ for a few reasons. Firstly, It is comprised of fairly simple geometric shapes/symbols that tested my abilities in Illustrator and helped me get more familiar with the program. This vector image is also a symbol of my heritage and spiritual beliefs, which I am very passionate about.
