Assignment

As you have seen in this week's class Adobe Illustrator is quite different than Photoshop. Regardless of your preferred method of working digitally, Illustrator is a large part of an illustrator’s and designer‘s workflow.

Your assignment for next week is a short, fun (albeit frustrating) one. We are going to do one of the hardest things you could do in Adobe Illustrator – I want you to draw from real life.

For next week, find two objects and draw them with Adobe Illustrator on the desktop or Ai on iPad in color, (WHILE you are sitting and looking at the objects, with the mouse or tablet!). I don’t want traced images or scans, I expect you to use the pencil tool, brush tool, etc...

Create two new square compositions, each featuring a different object.

  • One object should be man-made (not a phone), one should be organic (not an apple). Both objects should be smaller than a breadbox
  • Both drawings should be in color
  • You may incorporate Adobe Draw or Fresco vectors into ONLY ONE of your drawings. If you use Adobe Draw you can export TO ILLUSTRATOR and upload Ai files. If you use Fresco it's not as easy you have to export to pdf and import into Ai.

Upload TWO square format color ***Adobe Illustrator files*** to the Google Drive folder:

I will not accept jpegs, psd or png files this week.
