1. In as much detail as possible record the steps it took to create this project in Adobe illustrator. Use complete sentences.​ Try to recall as many of the different tools, processes, and keyboard commands as possible. 

First, I went on Adobe Illustrator, then made a new file, print a tab, and selected "letter", selected orientation, then created. Next, I used the rectangle tool to place a rectangle over the entire Artboard and clicked on "Gradient" to pick the colors for my sunset. To draw the mountains I went and used the "Pen Tool", I turned the stroke off so you don't see the outline.  I did 3 mountains so I have a foreground, middle ground, and a background, also used the pen tool to make the river.  I made the sun by using the shapes tool, I click on the ellipse tool to make the circle. After I clicked on the circle to change the color and used gradient. I "Image trace" the trees and animals by searching for silhouettes. When I found the images I wanted, I drag the image onto adobe and then clicked on image trace, silhouettes, expand, and ungroup. To save it you would go to file, export, export as then click use artboard, check the location of where you want to export, and save.
