Assignment

Leverage your Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop skills into one illustration and augmented reality experience.

Output

  • One standard/working resolution Photoshop file containing a mix of Illustrator vector parts and pixel/raster parts and any related working files, scans.
  • One Adobe Aero project version of the same illustration where you have turned it into an augmented reality experience and or installation.

Process

  • Look over the augmented reality inspiration above and from class. The specific example I showed was Take me there on Behance. Decide upon an illustration theme that will fit these criteria and be fun in augmented reality.
  • Use Adobe Illustrator on desktop/iPad or vector tools in Fresco to create a handful of vector parts/objects.
  • Bring your parts/objects into Photoshop as layers or Smart Objects.
  • Composite and add elements with your vector parts in Photoshop. Consider adding textures, transparent bits, etc...
  • Use Adobe Aero on your iPhone/iPad or desktop to create a multi-part 3d version of your Illustration in augmented reality.
    • In class I showed you how to export your PSD for Aero.
    • You might want to export your whole PSD as layers or you might want to export each layer separately (move them into independent files) and recompose in Aero.
  • Adding animation is optional this week, if you are interested you can add animated assets in Adobe Aero.
  • Once your Aero project is complete you can share it with the class as a link or QR code.
  • You can also record a movie of your AR file from within Aero mobile if you want to share that.


Project Delivery

Use your new Adobe Illustrator vector skills AND your


Use your new Dimension and Aero skills (shown in class) to create 2 new connected projects:

  • A 3d composition in Adobe Dimension that incorporates your illustrations (sticker, background, 3d creations, etc…).
  • An Augmented Reality scene in Adobe Aero that incorporates related illustrations.

Project(s) Details

  • Dimension projects should be rendered to Photoshop files. Please share/upload your Dimension file and the Psd’s
  • Videos from this week show you all the fun ways that you can incorporate illustrations.
  • Your Adobe Aero projects should contain some behavior exploration. This is also a great opportunity to explore sound.
  • The handoff for your Aero project can be the project file and a recording of your project if it is site-specific. This will be shown in the Aero demo.
  • YOUR SUBJECT MATTER IS.. up to you but you have to state it clearly! "I made a project about..."
