Final Portfolio

For your final illustration portfolio. I want a multiple page, single .pdf of 8 of your best illustrations this semester. Turn in to my public folder on my computer. I also want the final selections blogged and commented on. The portfolio can be comprised of both exercises and projects. I weigh projects heavier than exercises so a portfolio heavy on exercises will not grade as high as a portfolio of good projects. Any project that I haven't "approved" as being publishable (is that a word?), you probably should not include in the final portfolio. Just a thought. Just trying to help out. You still have three weeks to rework any project or exercise to get a better final result. Unsure... see me.

Editorial Illustration of Newspaper article

The next project I just tripped the trigger on in class. An editorial illustration of a newspaper article. See the articles posted on the OP1220 cork board. You choose one to illustrate. I need an illustration to accompany the article to draw the viewers attention to the story. Yes, kick-butt illustration. Style, technique and media are up to you.

Size: 10.5 width x 7 height.

10 idea sketches to choose from on Friday 16th. Tight color comps on Monday 19th. Final Illustration due 26th. Printout due 28th.

Blog!

Some of the blogs are in serious need of updating. I want to do some more picking.

Life and Death

This is one I haven't assigned before. You are the first. Here are the specs. This is a diptych project - two illustrations defining the two states of Life and Death of something... I showed examples in class the other day - minus the semi truck element. Media is open. Size: each piece when printed 8 x 10 for 16 x 11 final printout on 11 x 17 paper. Make sense? I want to see idea sketches to approve on Monday the 12th. Same day as the final for Lincoln. Be creative... conceptual is important, remember.

Lincoln Art Competition

As promised earlier, I want you to create an illustration for the Lincoln Art Competition. The theme is "Reflections on Lincoln". Size 10 x 14". Media is wide open. Whatever you want to use - traditional or digital. Content and concept is up to you to solve. I want to see 10 pencil idea sketches on Weds. to approve. Do something kick-butt and you could win $250.00. LOVE IT. Embrace the horror. Final is due on Monday the 12th.

Cheesy Airbrush Deadline

I want to see the final airbrushed Cheesy Project by next Friday the 9th. Size:10 x 14, right?
