\"Tree<\/a>

Tree of knowledge – LeMasney Consulting<\/p><\/div>\n

In honor of my official transcript showing that I graduated from Rider University<\/a> in December of 2009 with a Master of Arts<\/a> degree<\/a> in Organizational Leadership<\/a>, I wanted to make a tree<\/a>, a common symbol of knowledge and education<\/a>. It also is one of the key elements of Rider’s brand. I used the pencil tool mostly, set to 50% smoothing, and shape: Triangle in to create the roots and trunk. I then used the ellipse<\/a> tool in order to create many overlapping green circles, and path: unioned them for the foliage. To amplify the beauty of the branches, I set the foliage transparency down a bit. I made a background plane with a gradient with about 5 stops to create a natural, but muted, background.<\/p>\n
