Digital Portfolio

Assignment 12 is now nearly due.  The details are found there so there is no need to rewrite any of them here and so long as you've been saving the photos that you've taken you will likely need to do very little.  For those of you that have the time and/or the interest you can create a signature for your portfolio.  Whether it be a stylized interpretation of your name or a logo type design it is purely up to you.  Many logo's include very little or no text but they convey a particular image or emotion.  The short movie "Logorama" used these popular logos as the entire basis for its movie.  As seen in the following images from the movie.

The design itself is worth a bonus 5% so it is well worth the effort but if you are too far behind then maybe just complete the Portfolio!

Here are a few example signature/logos.

Dec/Jan Photo of the Month - Motion

Use the TV(timed value) setting of the camera to create your own motion masterpiece.  The larger the number you set on the camera represents a longer exposure.  Experiment with it and you will be able to create some unique photos.  You can work with a partner on this one(so you both can have the same picture if you want).

Scanner Darkly Tutorial

Here is where you will find the actual tutorial.  Make sure you've completed the illustrator tutorials and the photo into a cartoon tutorial first!

Scanner Darkly Tutorial

Do this before the Scanner Darkly Photo

Before you begin the Scanner Darkly assignment you need to make sure you have a great picture.  For this assignment you will need to choose a photo that has one person in it and has a fairly simple background.  You will only need from approximately the shoulders up.  If you have more than that we can crop it out later.

Once you've found the picture we are going to quickly convert it to a cartoon just to see what it might look like as a scanner darkly.  It will also give you a good example of skin tone combinations etc.  The tutorial can be downloaded here.

Illustrator Introduction

As an introduction to our work in Illustrator we will be completing several quick tutorials to become familiar with Illustrator.  Before you begin, you will need to complete a quick sketch on a blank piece of white paper.  We will scan this piece in and use it in the tutorials.
