POP Art

Trying out something new last night with Illustrator’s CS2 LIVE TRACE tool. A few weeks back I was at Kinko's getting some brochures down for a wedding and the gal at the counter told me about this new tool. I never knew of it before but this is awesome!! I've tried to produce this sasem effect through Photoshop but it's not vector based and takes too long but with LIVE TRACE it's Bing, Bam, Boom.






Try it:
-CREATE a new doc
-OPEN a pic (JPG, BITMAP, TIFF, etc...)
-SELECT the pic
-THEN at the top you will see at the header the LIVE TRACE options
-NOW have fun!!

If my directions are not good enough go to the help section in Illustrator and they'll lead ya through it.
