1. Open Adobe Illustrator and create a new document sized at 11″ X 17″ in CMYK color mode. We will be preparing the files for printing as well as displaying the final works on screen.<\/p>\n

Lets work with rulers and guides! Consider, how will you set your guides to equally balance and format the graphics evenly? Will you use a grid? Do you have a preferred method for layout? Lets explore what this means in this project.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. We will generate a new series of “subjective” graphic Icons following the layout and arrangement above. (Don\u2019t re-create my example) make your own, but follow the balanced composition. We will define “subjective” in class.<\/p>\n

3. Limit yourself to 6 values of 1 complimentary color scheme. Consider referring to the adobe color wheel for reference – (Located in the week #6 & 7 blog post)<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Limit yourself to creating and composing your graphics with no more than 6 shapes created with the pen tool, pathfinder or the shape builder tool. Begin working without using a stroke around your shapes<\/strong> and then apply a stroke for contrast later. (The class video demonstration will share the process and post it here after class on 3\/17\/21)<\/p>\n

5. Save your work as an Ai. file (adobe illustrator) for production as well as a .pdf – Print your work in .pdf format (if possible, not mandatory) we will also save a high resolution JPG file. (3 file formats)<\/p>\n

PART 2 –<\/strong> Each student will follow the images in the gallery below as a guide to further extend and develop their designs.<\/p>\n

Size<\/strong> – Use a square shape for this series of designs. I suggest 8″x 8″<\/p>\n

Below is the tutorial from class on 4\/7 \u2013 covering Parts 1 & 2 of this assignment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students will select and isolate their strongest single icon\/graphic from the original layout in Part 1 of the assignment – 1 version will include a stroke and one with out(example below). Students will explore a 4-part color variation drawn from their selected color palette as well as 1-3 balanced patterns using their icons. (We will discuss the examples in class soon)<\/p>\n
