Tips and tricks #1

So, in our tech class we had the chance to make a black History video for our assembly. We had to come up with a plan. We had to make the portraits of these people into a trace of their face but it still had to look realistic. So while i was questioning what to do i learned a tip to how to turn a photo into a traced black and white photo using illustrator.

Object>Live Trace> Tracing options>
From there you can select the Preview box and that will show you the gradient in which you would like to create on your photo or image. After that click OK and then you will have a black and white traced picture.

Although this may sound easy to do, i found it incredibly hard to learn at first until i got accustomed to using it. Hopefully you have an easier time learning it than i did. good luck :)
