Hopefully you all are starting to understand the fundamentals of Illustrator: getting around the interface, creating, moving and manipulating shapes, and the basics of type. For the second part of the semester, I would like to lead you through some self-directed projects that we will work on in class. These will give you an opportunity to apply your new found skills in practical, real world situations.
These will be fairly open ended assignments, but I do want each project to include 3 elements:
• Dominant Type (Title)
• Subordinate Type (Info)
• A Graphic or Illustrative Element
Your "homework" each week will be to come up with ideas, sketches, or materials to work with while in the class.
Here is a list of possible project ideas to take inspiration from. Let's see how many we can get done!
1. Logo- Personal, Business
2. Business Cards- Personal, Business, Fun
3. Greeting Cards- Holidays, Birthdays, Anniversaries
4. Labels- Beer, Wine, Soap, Food, Cosmetics, etc.
5. Promotional Fliers- Events, Business
6. CD covers- Music, Portfolios, Promotional
7. Posters- Movie, Concert, Event
