October's Project
Based on the Exercises, and this example, create a 3-D character. Your character must fit on an 8 ½ X 11 inch sheet of paper with a ¼ inch margin. The Color Mode should be CMYK, and the Raster Effects should be High (300ppi). Your 3-D character should include a minimum of two separate parts (head and body, or whatnot), and be sufficiently detailed. This assignment represents a capstone Illustrator project for you, and -- therefore -- should represent your best work.Your grade will be based on craftsmanship, expressiveness, and originality. Due Wednesday, October 31st, 2018
Here is a template, for those who need one. If you use this template, you will not "exceed expectations," and will not be able to earn a 100% grade.
