I found this assignment to be kind of difficult, mainly because I have never used Illustrator before.  After much thought of what to make, which also proved to be difficult because I didn't know what I had to work with, I finally decided to make a vector type of my initials.  My initials are BB, therefore, I placed the b's back to back which created a butterfly image.  I did the same thing and gave the butterfly a little head.  As for the colors, I chose to keep the whole thing as a black and white contrast.  For the background, I put a bunch of squares that also had the black and white contrast that complemented the butterfly well.  Overall, for as simplistic as the piece is, it took me a long, grueling time to complete, but it proved to be a success and I am happy with it.
