FINAL project

STEP BY STEP

As advanced students you have all had to encounter step by step instructions. For this project you will be creating your own step by step instructions.


HERE ARE YOUR STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW- Find a simple task- Making a P-B & J sandwich or sharpening a pencil or any number of menial tasks that we as regular people perform any on given day. Break down this task to 6 simple steps, after these steps have been determined you must use your phone to photograph the steps. After the steps have been photographed use your phone to e-mail yourself the pictures you have taken. You will open them in Illustrator one by one and use the pen tool to illustrate over the image to show a step by step drawings of your simple task.

STEP 1- determine your simple task, find something that can be done in easy enough steps dont bite off more than you can chew. steps may not be repeated but parts of the drawings may be. You want each step to be different enough to show direction but close enough to show consistancy.

STEP 2- Take pictures, pictures should be simple with consistantsy in size, environment and composition.

STEP 3- E-mail pictures and open them in Illustrator. Same process as opening them in PS.

STEP 4- Start Illustrating, the objective is to combine composition with ecomony of line. Simplicity is the key.

Helpful hints= The color choices can be White with a Black stroke set as the outline(this will set up your drawing)

Each drawing must be posted on your blog as you finish, then a splashpage will be the last post for this project.

Your timeline is from Jan.7 to the 17th. the end of this class is the 25th. You may come in to work during Mid-term week. But try to finsh before then to avoid 55%'s.

If you have Questions let me know.

PS I will give a brief overview of the PEN TOOL in Illustrator on Tuesday and Wednesday.
