I started this project by first sketching a rough outline of what I wanted my vector landscape to look like on a piece of paper, I first wanted to do a cityscape of a car driving along a road next to the ocean, however, I did not know how to incorporate the required elements of the project into that idea, so instead I decided to create a beach landscape and include small little elements that would make it seem like it was "the best vacation ever" by including a lot of things that would be included in a vacation getaway package like a boat excursion and sky diving. I started this project in Adobe illustrator by creating a blank document that is letter-sized which is eight point five inches wide and eleven inches tall, I set the paper orientation as horizontal as I wanted a wide landscape, I then set the background of the document as "white". Once I was in the document I created a rectangle that covered the top half of the document to act as my background for my landscape, I then changed the fill of the rectangle to a gradient and changed the gradient by clicking the"gradient options" and changing to color of the gradient from blue to orange to light blue to dark blue, I also changed the direction of the gradient by clicking ninety degrees for the direction which made the gradient point upwards which would make it look like a normal skyline. After I created my sky for my landscape, I created another rectangle and changed its fill to a darkish blue to act as my ocean for my beach landscape, I followed this by using the curvature pen tool to create my beach by creating four hill esque rectangles that got progressively larger and darker to create a shifting sand sort-of effect when I layered those rectangles on top of one another. After I created my beach, I created a sand castle to go with the beach by first searching for a "Sand Castle Cartoon Image" on the internet, and once I found a sand castle design that I liked, I dragged that image into Adobe illustrator and used the pen and curvature pen tool to trace the sand castle, and then I colored in the sand castle using its respective colors for the fill and made a black outline for it by selecting the stroke color as black. After I created the other small details in my landscape which are the mountain, boat, banana boat, bi-plane, and buoy by using the same steps I had done with the sand castle except with the object's respective images and coloring for the fill. After I created all of the details for my landscape, I moved the banana boat and excursion boat to the middle ground of my landscape, while the mountain, bi-plane, and buoy went into the background of my landscape. Once all of my details were in place, I created the sun by creating a circle using the ellipse tool and changed the fill of the circle to a radial gradient that went from white in the center to yellow to light orange, to create the glow effect on the sun I clicked the "fx" button and selected "Radial blur" and set it to around nine. To create the clouds in my landscape I traced an image of "cartoon clouds" from the internet using the curvature pen tool and changed its fill to white, applied a gaussian blur to it using the same steps as the sun, and changed its opacity to seventy percent. After I finished my landscape, I exported it as an PNG, by clicking file, export as, and then export as png.
