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! đł
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.
