There are several ways to create this shape, but here is how I would do it:
First, open a new file in Illustrator and use the grid by selecting View, Show Grid from the menu.
Then, using the Rectangle tool, draw a rectangle that is about 5 large grid squares wide and 3 tall.
Now, use the Pen tool (Bezier tool), click and hold to access the flyout menu and select the Add Anchor Point tool. Click halfway down the left side of the rectangle to insert a new point there. Add 2 more points, one 3 small grid squares from the top left corner, and the other 3 small grid squares from the bottom left corner of your rectangle. Switch to the Direct Selection tool, click outside the rectangle to deselect it, then click and drag your first added point out to the left, about 1 1/2 large grid squares.
Next, use the Convert Anchor Point tool (under the Pen tool), and click drag up on the point that is now the apex of your triangle. Use the Direction Selection tool to adjust the handles of your anchor point until you get the shape how you like it.
Last, save this file as an .ai file, with LastName_FirstName_Midterm.ai as the file name and submit it to the Drop Box under Week 4 Midterm AI Image.
