Speaking of school in the last image, here was my final for Illustrator, a personal icon using multiple build in effects of CC. Honestly taking the class did teach me alot of things, mostly how CC was a vast improvement over my old copy of Illustrator CS3. So with that knowledge, I made a stylish Arly icon, which did influence additional elements for the Stel B-Day picture. I was happy with it, pretty sure the class was in suspense by my requesting to be last with a confident smile, and I got positive marks for the design and presentation afterward. Huzzah!
