Week 7 Day 2 (Thursday, Oct 6) - Homework
Continue working on illustration layout comp for Project 2 in Illustrator. Mini group critiques will be conducted during next class, Tuesday, Oct 11 at 4:30pm. Print out your illustrator file for presentation in pre-selected small groups by start of next class (4:30pm).
Keep in mind your project must effectively instruct someone how to complete a specific task. Use of text is allowed as long as it follows the type requirements and is used sparingly. Use of color is optional, within appropriate taste and relevance.
Be sure to focus on the overall project objectives as well:
+ To gain experience with vector based drawing tools and techniques.
+ To reinforce design principles that support visual choices in creative problem solving solutions.
