2D Design Projects and Illustrator Basics:

Illustrator Tools:
Pen and Shape Tools






Assignment #1: Digital Woodcut

You will make a digital woodcut in Illustrator using an original photograph, design or image created by you. Your woodcut will be generated through an additive process of layering shapes. You will use the pen tool to complete shapes, as well as the shape tool for prefabricated shapes (circles, squares…). Remember to keep shapes hard-edged and sharp. See links for original and digital woodcuts on the class blog.

Purpose: This assignment is a valuable introduction to the basic use of specific tools in Adobe Illustrator. The shape tool, pen tool, transparency option and color palette will be a necessity when designing vector-based items such as symbols and logos in your future work.

Goals:
• To create a digital woodcut in Illustrator that gives the appearance of an original woodcut by layering shapes, some of which are sharp and hard-edged.

• To use the pen tool in a planned out and controlled manner. You will learn to control lines
• To use the shape tool for simple circles, ovals, squares, rectangles… when appropriate.
• To create a strong composition keeping in mind design principles such as:
Emphasis, Balance, Rhythm, Contrast, Movement and Harmony
.
• To begin to understand the difference between vector and raster images and in some cases transfer raster images into Illustrator.

Guidelines:
•Your Illustrator woodcut created in Adobe Illustrator may be horizontal or vertical and must be letter size.
• Use full color when creating your shapes and marks
• Print two copies of your completed woodcut in full color on letter size paper. One copy will be mounted in class for critique and the other will be placed in your portfolio.
•Save your work! A CD will be handed in at the end of the semester containing all of your
coursework.
• Post your woodcut to your blog. See the "Blog" topic on directions for posting.
•Assignment must be completed for group critique by 1/22/09.

Your design for a product, company, or even a cause of your choice will be created in PhotoShop. Once you have created your design and decided how it will be showcased create an additional PhotoShop image of your design in its environment; for example, if it is a graffiti stencil meant to be spray painted on pavement, find or take a photograph of pavement and use layering and other PhotoShop tools and methods to superimpose the stencil onto the pavement.

Assignment #6: Propaganda Poster Design

"Roosevelt presented a vision in which the American ideals of individual liberties were extended throughout the world...Eloquently, he appealed to Americans` most profound beliefs about freedom. (From Powers of Persuasion)"

President Roosevelt- "Four Freedoms"

"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression ­­ everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way ­­ everywhere in the
world.
The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic
understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants ­­
everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world­wide
reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be
in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor ­­ anywhere in the
world. " (Roosevelt's speech can be found in its entirety here: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/fdrthefourfreedoms.htm)

Taking into consideration this speech regarding the "Four Freedoms" create a propaganda poster related to contemporary politics and/or social concerns.
Combine text and image to create your poster. Choose a slogan from a portion of Roosevelt's speech and use it in your poster design such as:
•"None of us will be satisfied until the job is done"
•"Peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom"
•"Today's best is not good enough for tomorrow"
•"Our purpose and our pledge"
•"Putting patriotism ahead pocketbooks"
