Finally for our last project we had to take a photo of real world architecture and trace it as a vector image. The rule was that we could not use live trace/live paint as a shortcut. I decided to do the Space Shuttle launch pad for my project because apparently I'm a freaking masochist. The image is of the Space Shuttle Atlantis sitting on Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, just before what I believe was STS-135, the final Shuttle mission. The Space Shuttle, of course, was an icon of possibility for me and many others of my generation during the 3 decades it was operational. I thought if I was going to be ambitious with this project, what could be more appropriate than tracing the Shuttle itself? Even though I’m a bit disappointed that I fell short of completing it, I’m still very pleased with how it turned out, and I’m glad I decided to go through with it.
