Assignment

  • This week, the subject of your digital illustration composition is "the 2020 presidential election".
  • Your assignment is to illustrate the story of the week, use it for inspiration to create one new drawn, colored, and composited editorial illustration.
  • Treat it like an op-ed, this moment in time.

Use the techniques introduced & reinforced in class to create one composited colored illustration.

  • You will upload one Photoshop file and any related scans/parts or pieces for class next week.
  • You are allowed to draw using traditional methods (paper, scan, prepare in Photoshop) or draw digitally on your iPad Pro using Adobe Fresco and polish/color/composite in Photoshop.

Your assignment is to draw at least 4 or 5 foreground items and 1 background, then use multiple copies of the same items to create a story about "the 2020 presidential election".

Process

  • Draw no less than 5 separate parts/pieces which will be assembled into one composition.
  • At least one part/piece should be a "background"
  • Scan and prep each part/piece as independent grouped items or Smart Objects.
  • Bring all the parts/pieces that you wish to use into one file, compose an illustration.
  • You can scale, rotate, recolor, duplicate your parts/pieces, you can use any variation or Photoshop techniques you wish.
  • You should be using groups and or Smart Objects within Photoshop.
  • You should be using at least ONE layer or clipping mask in your process.

Upload for class next week

  • One LAYERED photoshop file.
  • Any related parts, pieces, or scans.
  • Compositions should be 5"x5"
  • I would suggest scanning at 1200 ppi (if you scan), then working at 600 ppi & coloring that.
