LECTURES
Week 1
Brief introduction on the overview of this module, exercises throughout the module. An additional exercise on The Bezier Game was given to get to know and practice the function and usage of the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
Week 2
We were introduced to Adobe Illustrator by learning to trace an image with different types of shapes provided and creating our own character based on our own creativity using the we learned to trace.
Week 3
During Week 3, we learned how to trace and outline the object from the image with both the brush tool and pen tool. Additionally, we also learned how to create shadows and changing colors of an object in AI which can be seen in the exercise below (Week 3).
Week 4
In Week 4, we proceeded with colors and blending while applying the techniques we learned from the previous class. By creating the silhouette and shadow of the traced image, we learned how to add textures to the image and using colors to create contrast between the background and outlined object as seen in the image in exercises (Week 4).
Week 6
Briefing on upcoming assignment, Editorial Layout. What is expected and its topic, urban legend and art style, art deco. The additional time of the class is given for us to complete Vormator Character Design and as a QnA session for the Vormator Character Design.
