Pi Posters in Adobe Illustrator

On March 14, our Math Department celebrated Pi Day. My 8th grade Digital Design class students created posters in Adobe Illustrator.



Watch a video with my students' posters on the TeacherTube.

Quick Tip -- the Pen Tool in Adobe Illustrator


I would like to show you how to create a Pi symbol in Illustrator.


Select the Pen Tool.



Set the Fill color and the Stroke color to None.


Click the Pen Tool twice to create a straight line.


To create a curved line, click and drag the Pen Tool.

An outline of Pi is ready.


Now, fill the outline with a radial gradient. I am finishing a video tutorial and will post it soon.
