Greetings,

This week in class we reviewed:
1. Envelope Distort
2. Live Trace
3. And Live Paint
If you need help with any of the three, look at the tutorials I’ve posted Week4.

On Weds I introduced:
1. The Gradient Mesh tool
2. And I showed how to work with Texture using the Transparency palette.

Here are two very useful tutorials that recap what we looked at:

Homework
1. Finalize your logo (I would like to collect the completed illustrator file)
2. Create one rendering of your product – in illustrator
3. Bring in three concept sketches for a Magazine ad (pencil and paper is fine).  You should have a specific magazine in mind – relevant to your product.
4. I would like to collect the GRA3611-ProductResearch handout given in Week3  (this along with your logo and product renderings will count towards you Mid-term grade).

Let me know if you have questions!
Best,

Genevieve
