Illustrator homework 1: Self-portrait and interest

For our first Illustrator homework assignment we were told to create a self-portrait and illustrate one of our interests relying on the geometric shapes and tools available in Adobe Illustrator. For my self-portrait I create a basic outline of myself and tried to highlight some of my more obvious characteristics (i.e. my brown hair, the type of clothing I typically wear) using basic shapes and colors. For my interest I chose to create an iPod playing music since listening to music is one of my biggest hobbies. Once again, I kept it simple and tried to use only basic shapes to create the image.
