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 can play an important part of an illustrator’s and designer‘s workflow.

Your assignment for next week is a short, fun (albeit frustrating) 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 or tablet!). I don’t want traced images or scans, I expect you to use the pencil tool, brush tool, and so on. Update, as I mentioned in class, you can try to use Adobe Fresco or Adobe Draw, but you must bring in a vector Illustrator file.

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
  • You may incorporate Adobe Draw or Adobe Fresco into ONLY ONE of your drawings. Send the part of your drawing TO ILLUSTRATOR or export as a pdf and open in Adobe Illustrator and upload Ai files.

Bring two square format color Adobe Illustrator files to class or upload it to the Google Drive folder.

I will not accept jpegs or png files this week.
