Assignment

Your assignment for our next class builds on the vector project from last week. You are going start with a 'pencil sketch' and create a three-panel vector illustrated story. I expect you to use Adobe Illustrator to create all the vector parts, your finished piece can be a mic of vector shapes and 'blob brush' like illustration.

The Details

You will be uploading a minimum of three things to the folder for this assignment:

1. A screenshot or working web link to the vector artist or vector-style illustration(s) or techniques that inspired your work this week.
2. Your foundational 'pencil sketch' which can be an analog or digital raster or vector drawing.
3. One well-formed Adobe Illustration document that contains ONE square artboard, containing 3 panels of your illustrated story.
   1. Review the last video from class if you want to see an example.

The Process

• You can create and or 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. 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 file.
• Illustrator on the iPad is an option, you will need to use the desktop to prepare the finished file.

Upload one Adobe Illustrator file, your sketch and your inspiration references to the Google Drive folder:

• Folder will be be posted here

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