 This is just an update. After watching the tutorials and working along following the professor. I feel a little more comfortable using the adobe applications indesign and photoshop. Below is my lamp with the planned background that I chose to use. I actually changed my lamp choice and added a door and windows to add to my idea and vision. 

Making my object into a vector has been somewhat challenging, especially for this to be my first time ever using illustrator. Even after using the image trace, I had to go in and do some actual line drawing myself to make the image more of how I wanted it to be. Also, within using the image trace tool, I went in a changed some of the settings to play around with until I found the right settings that I liked. I am a bit nervous for the next part of this project which is connecting this drawing to another. 

       For this first project I chose my appliance to be an old kerosene lamp. I mainly chose this object because of the many shapes found within this object. I think that there is a lot of different things that I could do with this lamp because of its many shapes, I think it opens up the opportunity for different possibilities which will help me out while planning for the design I am going for.   Old Kerosene Lamp
