Assignment #3 & Assignment #4 are now in full effect. We are becoming versed in Adobe Illustrator – and will continue to do so.

Discussion – Continued class exercises :: Adobe Illustrator. Creating shapes with the pen tool, the pathfinder tools and the shape builder tool.
Simplifying and reducing shapes and forms, working with color, locating color books, pantone colors, making patterns, repetition as a design element and more!
This project contributes to “flat design” which is a popular application and style used in the daily UX / UI interfaces and experiences we have each and everyday. What happens when we click on that link above?
We will begin project #4 by experimenting with creating shapes and forms – composition, as well as building “things” with those basic forms that we make. What are the potentials of working with the seemingly simple shapes and forms that you create?
*The class tutorials will place an emphasis on various digital art & design making techniques with illustrator. The techniques will support all 3 parts of assignment #4 (and beyond!)
Lab Tutorial – This week we will take another tour of Adobe Illustrator and practice creating new documents and setting up our art boards for production. Tonight’ class demonstrations we be recorded and placed here after class, as well as on the assignment #4 page.
