Final project: Illustrated quote

For your final project, you will be illustrating a famous quote. There are plenty of "quote" websites for you to look over to find your quote. One might be:  http://www.brainyquote.com/

Pick out your quote, then go about illustrating it. Your project MUST include both the quote AND some sort of illustration. Your choice of font does NOT count as your illustration. You may find ILLUSTRATOR clip art on line, but you can't use photographs in this project. Your final document to turn it MUST be in adobe illustrator.

Be clever and take your time to execute your idea. This is your final project! Make it count!

Keep working on your Font Bots

You should use today's class time to continue working on your font bots/monsters/creatures. If you have already finished your font bot, you may want to look it over again and make sure it's good enough. Don't forget, you can use COLOR in your fonts to make these even better!

If you've already finished your bot, use today's class time to create another. BOTH will be graded.

New Assignment - Font Bot!

For your last project, you will be creating a Font Bot! I will also allow you to create a font monster, font person or font animal if you don't care for the idea of a font robot.

You may use ONLY type for this project. You may use multiple fonts though, so get creative with how your font creature can look! Feel free to use different colors for your fonts as well! Come up with an idea of what sort of creature you're going to make and try to build it using only letters!

This should be a fun project, so take your time and get creative!

Fantastical Photoshop - Due Today

Your fantastical photoshop assignments are due today. We will critique them in class and you will present your work as if you work for me. Be professional and courteous but be confident in your work and stand behind your choices. I will be asking you questions about your work and you must respond. Don't be scared. Stick to your guns and tell me why you did things a certain way or what your intent was.

NO HOMEWORK

Assignment: fantastical photoshop

How many times have you seen a photograph on the internet that you just KNOW can't be real? Well, chances are, it wasn't. Photoshop has been used for years to create strange and unusual things and now it's YOUR turn to make something crazy!

Using Photoshop, I want you to create a fantastical photoshopped photograph. The sky's the limit here, so be creative! Take your time and make your crazy photo-manipulation look as realistic as possible. Experiment with techniques you find on the internet, or that you may already know, to create something that doesn't exist in this world!

You can combine several objects into one, create some sort of diorama, change colors, objects, meanings, etc to create something nobody has ever seen before!

Remember your Na'vi project? Those techniques will serve you well for this assignment! Be creative and dazzle me with your imagination!
