Assignment

  • Listen to the Radiolab: "Breaking News" episode below and use it for inspiration to create one new drawn, colored and composited editorial illustration.
  • You are to create the illustration that NPR would use for this episode.

Use the techniques introduced & reinforced in class to create one composited colored illustration.

  • You will bring in or upload one photoshop file for class next week.
  • You are allowed to draw using traditional methods (paper, scan, prepare in Photoshop) or draw digitally on your iPad Pro using Adobe Fresco (please) and polish/color in Photoshop.

Your assignment is to draw at least 4 or 5 foreground items and 1 background, then use multiple copies of the same items to create a story about "Breaking News".

Process

  • Draw no less than 5 separate parts/pieces which will be assembled into one composition.
  • At least one part/piece should be a "background"
  • Scan and prep each part/piece as independent grouped items or Smart Objects.
  • Bring all the parts/pieces that you wish to use into one file, compose an illustration.
  • You can scale, rotate, recolor, duplicate your parts/pieces, you can use any variation or Photoshop techniques you wish.
  • You should be using groups and or Smart Objects within Photoshop.

Bring with you/upload for class next week

  • One LAYERED photoshop files.
  • Compositions should be 5"x5"
  • I would suggest scanning at 1200 ppi (if you scan), then working at 600 ppi & coloring that.
