I have been playing around with Adobe Illustrator for the past few days, since vector images have always fascinated me with how they scale to any arbitrary size very easily with zero loss in quality.

As I wanted to actually make something in the program and not just tool around with it for hours on end, I took a drawing of an old patch for an Air Force bombing squadron my grandfather belonged to many decades ago. I wanted to make a vector image out of it since it is perfectly suited to this sort of thing and my dad wanted to include an image of the patch on a copy of the crash report for a crash my grandpa was involved in. So, there were multiple reasons for me attempting this.

Anyway, I will be posting the actual images later on. I’d do it right now but I have a pressing engagement. Expect comparison material, a “finished” version and a version in SVG format, just for those Firefox 1.5 early adopters 🙂
