Illustrator LiveTrace

Adobe Illustrator has this really cool feature called LiveTrace that can convert a raster image into a vector image. Here's a sample that I was able to come up with in under 5 minutes.



After turning the picture into a vector image, I took away the background and changed the colors of a few shapes... all this took under 5 minutes, though a lot of the time was spend looking around for tools in the toolbars since the new Illustrator moved around the tools.
