I was tired of city life.  I had to get away from it.  I needed space from everything, from my wife, her dog, my colleagues and even from my Macs.  I drove hours without a map.  Then I arrived at a quiet beach in California.  There were not many people.  So I started spending my private time there.  <\/p>\n<p>The second day, I lay under the sun.  Oh, gosh&#8230;  I felt relieved of all responsibilities.  It was about 3 o&#8217;clock in the afternoon.  I heard a boy cry right next to me.  I wanted to ignore what was going on and enjoy my private time.  But there was no sign of boy&#8217;s stopping crying any time soon.  It seems that he lost his beach ball.  Boy&#8217;s mother had a MacBook.  I asked her if she had Adobe Illustrator CS2.  And she nodded while trying to calm her son down.  I had to borrow her MacBook to end this horrible afternoon event.  In a matter of 5 minutes or so, I created this beach ball.  Thanks god, the boy stopped crying.  And I could continue to spend my private time.<\/p>\n<p>The following tutorial shows simple steps to design a colorful beach ball with Adobe Illustrator CS2.  <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Using Elliptical Tool, draw 6 vertical rectangular bars with a horizontal bar at the top.<\/li>\n<li>Select them all.
