This semester, I decided to take an Adobe Illustrator eCourse through a local college in Sacramento. So glad I did, here are a couple of samples of my homework projects.
First project was to take a TV or video remote and recreate it to be as realistic as possible. I did show it early in the semester, but I like what I created:

Next project was to take an interior image from a magazine and recreate it using certain color pathways and lighting. Here is what I turned in:

The most recent project is a package redesign- where we had to search for a grocery store product in need of a design overhaul. Here is my label for this beef product:
Personally, I like the white/blue ribbon in the product logo I made. The cow art is also mine; here is a close up of this white-faced hereford:

Taking a class like this is great! It stretches your skills, challenges you to try something new, plus I love to design.
Of course, if it were up to me, I love the first cow I drew for this project (see below), then decided it was too un-sophisicated for a product design. Still, it would make a terrific Carla quilting design:
