Lab 23 Illustrator Shape Builder Tool

      This is the next part of the tutorial papers that were given to me. This time we are experimenting with the shape builder tool. This time is something different. Unlike the other tools we experimented in Illustrator, this is not a tool use to draw things. It is used to create complex shapes by merging and erasing simpler shapes.
      First, I chose to use the star shape with a gradient of yellow and orange. Then I make a few of them in the different sizes.Use the selection tool to select the shapes or paths I want to merge. Choose the Shape builder tool and use it to highlight the area needed to be merged. This will create a new shape with them combined together. And last, I used the Erase made of the Shape builder tool and deleted some areas that were not merged that are inside the side.
