Assignment
Multi-panel Adobe Illustrator & raster/pixel comic
Building this week's vector (Adobe Illustrator) assignment and your previous pixel-based illustration techniques. Your next assignment is to create a 4 to 6 panel comic that illustrates one of your personal rituals or routines.
- You will assemble your final print-ready comic in an Adobe Illustrator file.
- You must use a mix of vector art and pixel-based parts to create your comic.
- The panels/frames and any lettering should be vectors.
- The artwork within each panel should be a mix of raster (pixel) and vector parts.
- You must use the techniques shared in today's class to fit your artwork into the comic panels of your project.
- Any raster artwork in the Illustrator file should ideally be linked or embedded .psd files.
- If you prefer to use Procreate, you might want to move the parts into .psd files and link them.
Dates & Timing
- Week 1: On December 1st you will upload sketches (analog or digital) and any initial illustrations or story explorations to Google Drive.
- Week 2: On December 8th you will upload your finished production-ready comic Adobe Illustrator file and any related production assets to the Google Drive.
- Remember, Adobe Illustrator used for projects like this will most likely have linked files that you will need to include in the file upload.
Let's Confirm the Details
- Week one is just sketches and any optional illustration/design explorations.
- The finished project must be one well-formed Adobe Illustrator document with ONE 6" x 6" inch Artboard containing FOUR to SEVEN comic panels of your illustrated story.
- The comic panels can be in any arrangement or style that you prefer.
- All related sketches, assets, and working files should be uploaded to the Google Drive
- Since the assignment will require linking to pixel-based assets, you will need to upload those to the Google Drive folder as well.
- I recommend that you leverage linked psd files so that you can make updates as needed and have those updates show up in the Illustrator files.
The Process
- You should create and assemble your illustrations directly in Adobe Illustrator. As shown in class, leveraging the layers and clipping masks in Illustrator.
- If you make parts in Fresco/Procreate/Photoshop. You will need to import those files into your production Illustrator file on the desktop.
- Review the video from class (above) if you want to see an example.
Upload one Adobe Illustrator file, your sketch and your inspiration references to the Google Drive folder:
I will not accept jpegs, psd or png files this week.
