3D


 Here I have used a digital photograph of an object and traced the right half of it using the Pen tool in illustrator. I then gave the bottle a colour and selected the outline and added the 3D revolve effect an selected from the right corner to ensure it created the desired effect. This then made the bottle look like the image below


To “paste” a label onto to a wine bottle, it first has to be made in a Symbol. I pasted the coca cola label into illustrator and them dragged it into the symbols and created a new graphic symbol. I then went back into the 3D Revolve listing in the Appearance palette and in the 3D Options window that opens, selected the “Map Art" which allowed me to choose which area of the bottle I wanted the label to appear. I then selected the fit to scale option which is why the coca cola label appears to be slightly stretched.I also imported a coca cola symbol to map onto the lid of the bottle.


Illustrator excels in allowing designers to create realistic-looking 3D artwork.
