		+	As you have seen in this week's class Adobe Illustrator is quite different than Photoshop. Regardless of your preferred method of working digitally, Illustrator is a large part of an illustrator’s and designer‘s workflow. Some might use it for project creation; many will depend upon it for production and design.
		+
		+	Your assignment for next week is a short, fun (albeit different) one. We will do one of the hardest things you could do in Adobe Illustrator – I want you to draw from real life. For next week, find two objects and draw them with Adobe Illustrator on the desktop, in color, (WHILE you are sitting and looking at the objects, with the mouse, iPad or tablet!). I don’t want traced images or scans; I expect you to use the pencil tool, brush tool, etc...
		+
		+	If you want, you can use the vector tools within Fresco or Illustrator on the iPad for the illustrations! This means you will have to send it to Illustrator on the desktop, I quickly showed this in class.
		+
		+	=== The Details ===
		+	You will be uploading a minimum of two things to the folder for this assignment:
		+	# A screenshot or working web link to the vector artist or vector-style illustration(s) that inspired your work this week.
		+	# One well-formed Adobe Illustratior document that contains '''TWO''' 6in x 6in artboards, your illustrations will be on these artboards.
		+
		+	You will create two new square illustrations, each featuring a different object.
		+	* One object should be man-made (not a phone), and one should be organic (not an apple or banana). Both objects should be smaller than a [https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2008/02/bigger-than-a-breadbox.html breadbox].
		+	* You should draw the environment in the background.
		+	* Both drawings should be in color.
		+
		+	=== The Process ===
		+	* You can create your illustrations directly in Adobe Illustrator. As shown in class, I recommend the blob brush if you are uncomfortable with shape-building an illustration.
		+	* You could also use the vector brushes in Fresco. You will need to export using the "open a copy in" option and send your image to Illustrator on the desktop. From here, you will need to combine them into one multi-artboard file.
		+	* Illustrator on the iPad is a third option, but you can not make multi-artboard documents on the iPad, so you must use the desktop to prepare the multi-artboard file (see above).
		+
		+
		+	Upload One multi-artboard color '''Adobe Illustrator file''' and your inspiration references to the Google Drive folder:
		+	* Google drive link will be updated here.
		+
		+	I will not accept jpegs, psd or png files this week.
