Using Shapes to Create Artwork for a Postcard - Adobe Illustrator CC - page 157

Tip
The Image Trace panel can also be opened with traced artwork selected,
by clicking the Image Trace Panel button (

) in the Control panel.

7. Press and hold the eye icon ( ) to the right of the View menu in the Image Trace
panel to see the source image on the artboard. Release the mouse button.
8. In the Image Trace panel, click the toggle arrow to the left of the Advanced op-
tions to reveal them. Change only the following options, using the values as a start-
ing point:
• Colors: 3
• Paths: 80%
• Corners: 90%
• Noise: 10 px
• Snap Curves To Lines: Selected
• Ignore White: Selected

Note
By selecting the Snap Curves To Lines option, the small yellow/green
lamp pull cord no longer has rounded corners. You can fix that yourself
using the drawing tools after you learn more about them in Lesson 5 ,
“ Creating an Illustration with the Drawing Tools . ”

The type in the logo isn't perfect yet. You can clean up the type (see the sidebar
“ Cleaning up traced artwork ” ) or find out the original font used and replicate it.
