Hello!

Since I did not post last week (week7) I am combining the postings with this weeks. It’s really exciting to see your projects come together – I saw some really nice work today!

By now I should have received your:
1. Finalized logo – in Illustrator
2. One product rendering – in Illustrator (this is a representation of your product).
3. Your product research document (this is the text describing your product that will appear in your project deck (see week 3 for the original assignment)

These three pieces will count towards your Midterm grade.

Here are the handouts from last week: (Please read them carefully)
GRA3611-StyleGuide
GRA3611-ProjectDeck-Part1 (We will be setting up the booklet in InDesign next week. If you have time feel free to get stated on it, but before you do,  make sure you have the above three items 100% complete – Logo, Product Rendering, and Product Research Text.)

Here is a tutorial for this week: Molding Mesh (I’ve attached a PDF that shows the step by step process as well as the original source file from the Illustrator Wow book.

Next week’s lesson we’ll look at:
How to create and customize Brushes in Illustrator
InDesgin – setting up your booklet. Binding and Paper considerations

If you look into my folder on the school server: ghitchings/public/GRA3611/Week7 you will find examples of former student’s work. It might be helpful to look and see how they set up and designed their project decks.

We will look at the product advertisements the following week. So if you have already completed that, hold on to it for a week. And if you have not yet had a chance to work on that, you have two more weeks to do so.

Have a nice week! Send me and email if you have questions.

Best,

Genevieve
