Studio Day

Today is a studio day. I am not sure that I will be in, if you have questions email or chat.

Mid Process crit will be Thursday. Post your work on your blog before class. We will be reviewing them on the monitors in class. You do not need to comment on each others blogs.

Final

Its a little early, but better early than late. Late portfolios will not be accepted.

Your portfolio, as you should know by now is a pdf of all of the work that you have done throughout the semester.  It should include an

• Intro Page: The class name, number, semester, your name, instructors name, and date.
• Index: List of content (assignment's)
• Content: Assignments
• Extra: Not required. Extra credit may be considered for... any illustration work you have done during this semester. This can not be work that was included in an assignment. It can be work that you have done with, but not used in any of the assignments (not versions of things you used but unique images that were not used). So if you made any images but did not include it as part of a project you can get credit for it. If they are not digital you can scan them.
• Closing: A page that will indicate that the viewer has reached the end of the document.

Good News & Bad News

The Good News: We are very close to having our full A.A. and A.F.A. Degrees approved and do away with the A.A.S. that causes us so many problems.

The Bad News: I have no help in getting it all put together and the revisions need to be in this Friday. Sooo... to get it done I have to cancel all my classes this week.

Assignments: Post your BOOM (or what ever word you used) on your blog. There will be another short project Thursday.

If you need anything email or chat with me anytime.

Type Illustration

Here is your assignment: (Don't forget to login to Lynda first)

You may follow the assignment as is (BOOM!) or create your own type for it (Keep it clean, you will post it to your blog). It will make sense after you watch it.

Tip: Do watch the video all the way through first, then watch it again and pause as necessary.

It is #106 in Deke's Techniques (if you have trouble with the links login and search for it)

Note:
This is done in Illustrator 4. If you are using the studio computers or CS6 you may need to make some creative problem solving to make it work... that's part of the assignment.

Also...

Take note of any of the parts of the process that may be things I have said, 'don't do' in Illustrator. We will discuss them in class on Thursday.

Open Studio

I will be in if you need help, I have some department work that needs to be done first though. Today is open studio. Finish your illustrator project and post it. Also upload your Illustrator file to your 'Google Drive' and send me a link. It should be posted by the end of class today. If you still have work to do you can re-post it by the end of the day on Friday.
