Creativity Exercise in Adobe Illustrator

o practice creativity in Adobe Illustrator, I used a creativity exercise from The Creative Self Workbook on Behance

The exercise focused on generating ideas quickly without overthinking. I started by sketching simple shapes and symbols on paper, then chose one idea to recreate digitally in Adobe Illustrator. I used basic shapes, the Pen Tool, and color to turn my rough idea into a clean vector design.

This exercise taught me that creativity works best when ideas come first and tools come second. By sketching before using Illustrator, I felt more confident in my design choices and spent less time second-guessing. It also helped me see how Illustrator can refine creative ideas into polished designs.
