You will be using adobe illustrator to create an original piece of art that involves using the type tool.


The process will involve you filling the spaces of the face where the shadowing exists to create a contrast and shadowing illustrative effect. All other areas will be left white.



Examples of the style of how the final product can look are found in the link below.


You may use any portrait you want. Be sure the portrait you choose has CONTRAST and is a decent quality to work from.


11 x 14 inches Min.

300 PPI




Demonstration of the process and the tools needed to complete the project will be given in class.

In this lesson, you will be using Adobe Illustrator and/or
Photoshop to create at least 4 original pieces of art that create an optical
illusion ( 4 art boards) Using the shape tool, line segment tool, width tool and
others, you will create depth, form and illusion in spaces with in the
picture plane. Examples of OP Art can be found linked below.

Format can be any, but must be at least 11 inches on shortest length.

After most of the OP Art is made in illustrator, you can then switch over to Photoshop to enhance it if you wish.


A demonstration and use of op art, and the basic techniques we will be using will be given in class as well.

Create a movie poster, game design cover, or TV series poster with you or someone you know as the main character(s).

You will be using Adobe Photoshop mainly. Illustrator may be used as well.

Research movie posters on google images and other sites to gain a perspective of the over all feel of what you want the poster to took like and
represent.
You can redo an existing movie poster design or create a new movie concept and title. IF you are redesigning and existing poster you will be comparing the poster to the one you are making. Font, color, costume etc.

Make sure you take several pictures of yourself and any other characters you want in the poster design. It may
be a good idea to sketch the concept out first.


Guidelines: 11 x 14 Inches Portrait.


All original photos of yourself and others.


Ideas, Research, Background and scene can be taken from the internet.
You will have one day to search online in class what poster you are making or redoing.


Examples are attached and will be shown in class.

Create 2 digital paintings using Adobe Photoshop.


Follow and complete the apple painting tutorial first before moving into your final painting.



There will also be demonstrations in class.


Download the brushes and they should automatically load into your brush settings. Will DEMO this process.

Any format is okay. At least and 11 x 14 inch file. 300 dpi.

Links and Brushes Attached

For this assignment you will be using the selecting and masking features in photoshop to create a scene using original images.



You will be using at least 2 MAIN IMAGES as the focus of the scene you are creating. These maybe images you gather through your own photography, OR images you have through another source that are original to you. NOT THE INTERNET. Do this on your own time outside of class.


Background images can be from the internet or your own to set the scene. Make sure they are HI QUALITY.



You are going to place your masked images in the scene you create using photoshop masking techniques and other demonstrated techniques(shadow creation, lighting, color correction etc).


The goal is to correctly place the masked images in a scene that share the same atmosphere and lighting to fool the viewer into thinking the images where there all along.


NOTE: ** You should think about the scene you want to create before you take or choose the photographs you are going to use**



Make sure you have your images you are taking ASAP to begin the masking process on those.



All demos will be given in class on all processes.


Other video demos related to this assignment may be be looked up on the internet on your own time outside of class.

Logo Design


The assignment is to create and develop a logo that represents you or your brand.
You will need to sketch on paper and use Adobe Illustrator to complete this assignment. We will go through the process and the tools you
will need to complete this assignment (Pencil, Paper, Illustrator Pen tool, Line Segment, Shape tool, Pathfinder tool etc.)


You will need to create several drawings (100) of ideas for possible logos. These are to be very simple sketches. NOT DETAILED. Silhouette form will be the best approach.


You will sketch them up on regular blank computer paper provided by me. I will show examples of the process. (Folding paper into sections can often help.)



After you have completed several drawings (100) you will then choose the one or more that will be worked up on the computer.


You will then use adobe illustrator to complete the digital portion of the logo design. This step will take revision as well. Logos are an evolving process. They are NOT made quickly.


Your grade will depend on completing the drawings, working the drawing(s) up on the computer and turning in the final logo.



Examples of clean logos drawn out and reworked are attached for your reference. The final logo layout will be gone over in class.

In this assignment you will be creating a vector style portrait using Adobe Illustrator. You can choose any person as a reference to create the portrait.


Examples for references may include your favorite celebrity, musician, actor etc.


**You are required to use a realistic picture of a persons face**


You can start getting an understanding of how to create the portrait by viewing the video attached that goes over the process. You may want to pause and restart a few times throughout since it it made at a higher than normal speed.


There are also some examples that are attached of finished pieces.


I will also be demonstrating and going over the process in class and covering new tools you will use in this project.

In adobe Illustrator, create an artwork that uses
symmetrical design as the main component.


Tools to use will include the pen tool, shape tool,
mesh tool, width tool and more.


Demonstration will be given in class
on these tools.

Trace 10 logos using the pen tool.

Only turn in the logos you have traced. Trash layers of original logos.
Save the file with a name OTHER than "untitled" before turning in.
