    I’d like to create something similar to the ‘pedestal’ here, (the circles that the graphics are sitting on) would these be done with 3d shapes in illustrator or another method?

    Personally, if I was recreating this, I’d use 2D shapes in Illustrator. Just cos it looks 3D doesn’t mean it has to be 🙂

    There are no real 3D effects involved here, no lighting, no shadows, no reflections etc, so 3D is overkill. Just create a few ellipses, make them wider than they are high and stack them, you’ll get this same effect much more simply.
