License 2

Same as the first but i added the words instead.

License Plate SMNW

License Plate for Shawnee Mission Northwest Cougars. I used the pencil tool, polygon tool, text tool, drop shadow, and direct selection tool to create this. I tried to make it to where it looked like the cougar was popping out of the paperish. Yup.

Warp and Offset Path

This is the warp and offset path text. I didn't fully follow the tutorial. I just kinda went for it using the text tool and the direct selection tool. I don't even know where I was going with this. I made the stick figure using the Ellipse tool and lines.

Tree

To create the sun and apples just use the Ellipse tool and pick a color. The bushes and the leafy part of the tree is just a bunch of circles meshed together. I used a gradient background, and a light green rectangle for the grass. 

Swish 1 & 2

To create the rounded lines you need to create two different shaped circles/ellipses with the ellipse tool. Then using the pathfinder you're able to cut out most of the shape and create a shape that you want. Number 2 has shading added to it and I have no idea what these are supposed to be. 
I actually really like the 1st one though.

Swoosh

This was probably my favorite outcome out of my tutorial projects.
The tutorial teaches you how too make the swirly thingys. I used them to make a tree (use the brush tool). And  I added a pink circle using the Ellipse Tool. 

Blend Patterns

I used the ellipse tool to create the circles and used the blending tools to alter the shape of the circles. Then using the direct selection tool and swatches I was able to change the colors of the lines. 
Although it wasn't mentioned in the tutorial, I figured out that if you move the center circle with the direct selection tool it changes shape, and I made mine, look very similar to a clam/shell. 

Mesh Flower

I used the pen tool to draw the petals, the pencil tool to free hand the lighter pink shape, and for the center I used a hexagon and altered the sides with the direct selection tool.

3D Easter Egg

3D Easter Egg. I used the elipse tool and symbols, and the 3D revolving to create an easter egg.

Radial Blur

This is another tutorial and I used the radial blur tool.
