Due:
Mandala Design
You will be creating a circular mandala design in Adobe Illustrator.
You will learn about the visual impact of patterns and symmetrical design in this assignment.
Using the polygon tool, pen tool, line segment tool, shape tool, rotate tool, patterns and specific color combinations, you will be making a radial design that contains whatever
creation you can imagine.
Make sure to have a solid plan and sketch out ideas so that you mandala
has meaning (symbols, specific color combos etc). AS the mandala rotates, you want to create
imagery in the design rather than just random colors, shapes and lines.
Color schemes and color theory will definitely have a major part in the final grade of the
project, but the IDEA AND CONCEPT are the key.
Examples of one way to do the process are in
the links below and we will go over all of the steps on how to create this
mandala in class.

Typography
You will be using adobe illustrator to create an original piece of
art that involves using the type tool and several other tools.
First, you will need to find a portrait online of the person who's face you wish to turn into a typography art piece.
Then bring the photo into illustrator and convert to a black and white picture. Then use image trace.
Then on a separate layer, you will fill in the spaces of the face where the
shadowing exists to create a contrast and shadowing illustrative effect.
All other areas will be left blank/white.
Examples of the style of how the final product can look are found in the attachments below.
You may use any portrait you want. Be sure the portrait you choose has HIGH CONTRAST and is a decent quality to work from.
11 x 14 inches Min.
300 resolution
Demonstration of the process and the tools needed to complete the project will be given in class.
