Spheres represent wholeness and unity. They represent completion. Circles and spheres help with dispersion and distribution. They are two connecting columns. They are more than just a shape.

The processes were different. For the one with triangles, which I made in Illustrator I drew the shapes first. I drew the triangles and created a pattern. Then, I created a circle. For the fuzzy sphere, I created a circle and applied blurs and distortions to get the look. Then, I smudged it. 

With Illustrator, there were many option I could select to create the look I wanted. In Photoshop, the steps had to be a certain way. The Illustrator tutorial was less complex and it was easier to complete. In Photoshop, I had to use more tools to create the shading. In Illustrator, I could select an option to shade for me. In Illustrator, I could make the shape filled in. In Photoshop, if I wanted the shape filled in, I had to do that at the beginning. 

In both programs, I learned how to create easier and better spheres. In Illustrator, I learned an easier way to shade. In Photoshop, I learned how to copy and paste between layers.
