Assignment
Your assignment for next week is a replay of what you did last week (new illustration) with one additional element, in bold below.
- Identify a visual style or technique that is attainable/inspirational to emulate within Adobe Illustrator. Can be another illustrator, something from a history book or classmate. Last week I shared a list of vector illustrators if you need some starting points.
- Select and listen to a podcast, your illustration should be a reflection of the story or a moment in this podcast. The topic is up to you. Last week I shared a shortlist of fun podcast episodes above if you need them.
- This week you must incorporate some bitmap textures or washes into your illustrations. BE CAREFUL!, this will require you to manage and upload your linked assets! 😳
Your deliverable is one NEW square format 100% vector illustration a .ai file.
For next week I expect you to upload:
- Your new vector project.ai file in RGB color space, not CMYK.
- The image or illustration you were inspired by.
- A web link to the podcast episode you were inspired by.
- Any linked assets your .ai file needs to display properly.
- Any related assets/sketches/process files.
