Assignment
Use the techniques reinforced in class over the past few weeks to create a new hand illustrated, scanned, composited and colored composition for the next class.
- Compositions should be 6" x 6"
- Subject matter is up to you
- Should be a composite image, multiple colored drawings from paper or iPad assembled into one psd illustration
And Then:
- Your task is to also bring two printed copies of your composition.
- Find our use a high quality printing paper (Epson, Ilford, Red River, Moab, etc...).
- Each print should be centered on 8.5" x 11" sheets of paper.
- Each print should have written notation on the front or back:
- Paper Manufacturer / Paper Type
- Printer Manufacturer / Model
- Print settings if possible
- This is the ideal week to experiment with print settings, write em down!
- Try different papers (matte, glossy, luster, bright, natural, warm, cool, and so on).
- Try different printers
- One print should be your best attempt at a perfect exhibition print.
- The other should be more exploratory
Note:
- No prints on cheap/standard printer paper.
- No prints on paper smaller than 8.5" x 11" or 8" x 10".
- No prints without the printer marks and color bars below.
We created a Photoshop file containing square printers marks and color bars. In Photoshop you can place your art in the center and print your files with the crop and color bars. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8fijsiyq4f7q1g/print-marks-6x6.zip?dl=0
Bring with you to class and upload to Google Drive:
- One layered photoshop files.
- Two fabulous prints with color bars (above).
Please continue to work on the iPad as well.
