So, after several several changes to both of my designs, I completed my designs to about my satisfaction. There is still the part of me that feels that things could be a little better, but I'm sure things will be smoother as I grow accustomed to using Adobe Illustrator.
There isn't too much to say about the changes I made to the jellyfish design. I made the person swimming as planned, and had him/her being stung. Otherwise, the only main difference is that I rotated some of the jellies in the background to give it a more natural feeling. Difficulties I ran into were getting the proportions of the swimmer's limbs correct. I feel that this feels about right however. There was also an issue with getting the water to act transparent, but with Adrienne's assistance the problem was resolved.
As for the pictograph dealing with shoes, the redesign went much more smoothly. Here the biggest problem was getting and outline around the arm. It took a lot of playing with the pen tool to get it right. The only problem I have with the finished work is that I wish I could have overlapped the shoes a little bit. I tried for a long while to figure out how to trace the edge of the shoe in white, but ended up settling for the design seen here.
There were little problems here and there, but for the most part I think that the project went smoothly. It was definitely a good way to become accustomed to using a new design program before moving onto more complex projects later in the semester.
