Exercise 10 / 11 - Poster / Prom Poster

Gallery of Selected Works

Last Exercise #11 - Due March 13 (period 4) / 14 (periods 1,3,7)

For the LAST assignment of the quarter, please design a poster for the THMS Prom.  Even if you are not going to the prom (who cares, right?) even the graphic designer can help.  Besides, your design may end up on the THMS website for your teacher to use!

Friday, April 19th
7:30pm
Skyline Country Club
Theme: Bollywood

Come up with your own theme if you cannot find the theme of the prom -- maybe the prom committee will change their idea!

Here are the requirements:
1.  Adobe Illustrator or Indesign
2.  8.5" x 11" size
3.  At least 2 Fonts
4.  Some color, some creativity, some drawings
5.  The day, time, location, price per ticket and any other relevant information.

Turn in as period#_lastname_firstname_11x.ai (if Adobe Illustrator)

The assignment is worth 50 points (like the other big projects).

Remember -- you can make the poster EN ESPANOL if you want.

3D Drawing Sample and Suggestions

Class, check out what you can do with 3D drawings in Illustrator!  Your classmate made the above...

OK, so if your drawing is now "showing" the mapped art, then try making a drawing that is very simple -- as in a 1/2 circle or 1/2 box, and then rotate that.  Too many points makes for a tricky design to map.  

If you still do not see the image, change the stroke color to "none" and the fill color to the color you want for the line that makes the shape.  The instructions say to do a line color and no fill, but try it reversed.

The globe came from just making 1/2 of a circle.

Last day to take work for Quarter...see below

The last day you can submit work for Q3 is the following:

March 13 for period 4
March 14 for periods 1, 3 and 7

Remember that you lose points if you turn in assignments after the due date but at least you can get partial credit.

Exercise 10 -- Back to Adobe Illustrator with 3D drawing...Due March 8 (Friday)

Class,

So I heard the feedback about the Adobe InDesign exercises and I have decided to take us back to drawing in Adobe Illustrator for the remainder of the semester.  You all seem to get InDesign pretty well!

GO HERE
http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/create-an-milk-bottle-with-a-funny-cow-label/

For exercise 10, I want you to try following the instructions on this website for producing a 3D Milk Bottle, with cow.

The online exercise has a funny cow hand drawn.  I decided that I liked my photoshop image of a cow that I put into Adobe Illustrator and did the ol' LIVE TRACE to and then used that to "wrap around" the bottle.

For extra credit you can make another 3D object.

Due March 8

Exercise 9 - Social Issue Poster

Class,

Due 3/1.

For the final Adobe InDesign project, you are to make your own "Social Issue Poster".  

HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE POSTER IN ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR YOU MAY.  IN FACT, I WOULD PREFER IT.

The Role of the Poster: The basic difference between the poster and other advertising media is that the poster speaks to the audience “on the move.” Newspaper ads, magazine ads, and mailing pieces such as folders brochures and booklets are designed for the reader who has time to stand or sit and read for a while.  On the other hand, the poster must capture the attention and get the message across in a matter of seconds. It must spark the reader to take the desired action through a brief message packed with punch or veiled in subtlety.

The Purpose of the Poster: While there are literally hundreds of uses for the poster, it will have only one of the four purposes:

(1.)       To announce an event.

(2.)       To promote a service.

(3.)       To sell a product.

(4.)       To develop an attitude.

The poster must be 12" wide x 18" high.

Must have some form of Graphics

No Photos Graphics must be original (if you need to use an Image from a Photo it must be traced out)

Must have two sizes of text (Text and Sub text)

Use Color

Think of the Elements of Design:

Line, Shape, Texture, Space, Size, Value, Color

Incorporate the Principles of Design:

Balance, Rhythm, Emphasis, Unity
