I mentioned this in class on Wednesday, but here is the next assignment. This is an image I need for a promotional poster for events on campus in association with November being Native American Heritage Month.
Here are the specs for the poster. Final poster size is 13 x 19 with bleed. This is an off-set litho printed, 2-color poster - black and one spot color. What does this mean for you as the illustrator of the image? We'll talk on Friday.
Not to say that a concept on this won't help, but this project is dependent upon a striking visual/image to draw readers to the poster information. It has to have visual presence on a bulletin board. Please avoid the standard cliche solutions. I will puke if I see dreamcatchers, feathers, war-bonnets, etc... This image has to be respectful of the culture.
Timeline:
- October 31st: 3 thumbnail idea sketches - make sure you show me three things you want to illustrate regardless of what I select.
- November 2nd: Marker comp for approval. Yes, mounted on black mat board or foamcore - 1 inch border. I will always expect comps to be mounted in the future and may not specify this again.
- November 9th: Final illustration to review
- November 14th: Final printout of illustration/poster design mounted. Ditto on the mounting note above.
Here is the copy for the poster design portion of this assignment:
