Week Eight

1st Childhood Memory

Assignment Oct., 29:
Using Adobe Illustrator as a primary tool and photoshop for image prep work, create an image that depicts your earliest childhood memory. Like past photoshop assignments we will continue to work found image based sources that we will collage and using illustrator color into.
Embellish the scene, think like a child, and consider your use of various types of images (ie., photographic, cartoony, hand-drawn, bold-graphic...). With the in-class demo we will go over importing various types of images and how to convert images to vector graphics to be manipulated with illustrator.
In class we will cover:
converting images to outlines
using the live paint tools.
placing images, and understanding "linked images"

By next class, finish creating your scene, save as an illustrator file and export as a .jpg file, and post results to your blog.
