Assignment

Use the techniques reinforced in class over the past few weeks to create a new hand illustrated, scanned, composited and colored composition for the next class.

  • Compositions should be 6" x 6"
  • Subject matter is up to you
  • Should be a composite image, multiple colored drawings from paper or iPad assembled into one psd illustration


And Then:

  • Your task is to also bring two printed copies of your composition.
  • Find our use a high quality printing paper (Epson, Ilford, Red River, Moab, etc...).
  • Each print should be centered on 8.5" x 11" sheets of paper.
  • Each print should have written notation on the front or back:
    • Paper Manufacturer / Paper Type
    • Printer Manufacturer / Model
    • Print settings if possible
  • This is the ideal week to experiment with print settings, write em down!
    • Try different papers (matte, glossy, luster, bright, natural, warm, cool, and so on).
    • Try different printers
  • One print should be your best attempt at a perfect exhibition print.
  • The other should be more exploratory

Note:

  • No prints on cheap/standard printer paper.
  • No prints on paper smaller than 8.5" x 11" or 8" x 10".
  • No prints without the printer marks and color bars below.

We created a Photoshop file containing square printers marks and color bars. In Photoshop you can place your art in the center and print your files with the crop and color bars. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8fijsiyq4f7q1g/print-marks-6x6.zip?dl=0

Bring with you to class and upload to Google Drive:

  • One layered photoshop files.
  • Two fabulous prints with color bars (above).

Please continue to work on the iPad as well.
