Assignment

  1. Finish the assignment from last week and upload it to Google Drive.
  2. Listen to the Radiolab: "Breaking News" episode above and use it for inspiration to create one new drawn, colored and composited editorial illustration.

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 Sketch or Draw and selecting 'Send to 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 two compositions.
  • At least one part/piece should be a "background"
  • Scan and prep each part/piece for coloring digitally or draw on your iPad Pro.
  • 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.
