Last Assignments posted, Enjoy
Bravo, give yourselves a pat on the back. Last assignments are posted and I think you will see some standout interpretations of context and technique.
I hope you get a chance to peruse through these and add a comment. Am starting to see some stylistic development in these coupled with the timeline which is another good indicator that you’re getting more time to develop your personal expression rather than just the techniques as tools.
I’ll be adding

The final assignment is about context and story telling in design.
Final Assignment: is to produce a trio of 8″ x 8″ images that use the live trace, live paint or are personal illustrations executed in Illustrator of a favorite personal object in several contexts:

*Class 4, info for class 5, Testing testing, this is going to be easy I promise
Happy mid-week guys- as promised a couple of very rough examples that use the technique we’ll be working with. It boils down to a lot of duplicating layers and moving stuff around sloooowly. The biggest skill we’ll need is patience.
Below the two tests is a link that will prompt you to download a pdf. Download and “open with” Adobe Illustrator.
Open the layer palette and you will see each layer is a frame.
