Assignment

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 are going to 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:

  1. A screenshot or working web link to the vector artist or vector-style illustration(s) that inspired your work this week.
  2. One well-formed Adobe Illustration document that contains **TWO** 6in x 6in artboards, your illustrations will be on these artboards.

Create two new square compositions, each featuring a different object.

  • One object should be man-made (not a phone), one should be organic (not an apple or banana). Both objects should be smaller than a breadbox.
  • Both drawings should be in color.

Upload TWO square format color ***Adobe Illustrator files*** to the Google Drive folder:

I will not accept jpegs, psd or png files this week.
