(Graphic Design) 1st Project and Test (September 21, 2012)

1. Your "Vector Hero" file should contain your game cover, and a separate art-board where you discuss your design process (what tools did you use/try, what challenges did your run into, what design goals do you think you met?) (Soft due date: September 21, Hard due date - September 28)

2. It's "due date": We will have soft due dates and hard due dates in the class. Soft due dates are the days we will stop working on a project in class, and move on to a different one the next day. Hard due dates are the Friday of the next week. Projects not handed in by that point will receive a 0 in the effort category. (Grades based on: 20 points for Design Process, 20 points for Design Principles, 20 points for Effort)

3. When you are finished with this project, or any other, put the illustrator file on your USB drive, and bring it to Mr. Strusz's computer so he can load it onto his external hard drive. 

4. We will have a test on the basics of illustrator next Thursday. It will be almost completely multiple choice, but if you don't study, you might fail. Please study. The study guide is on the right panel of this website. 

5. Our next project will be designing the folder cover for the paint company we sketched out a few weeks ago. If you hand in your project today, you can go back and read the directions for that project, and try to make your sketch/ideas come true in Illustrator.
