Vector Illustrations Due Jan. 20
Directions:
1. Choose a work of art that you want to recreate. These should be photographs, fine art (famous works of art), or detailed illustrations. You will need to have this image OK'd by me before you move forward with the tracing. When searching for your image, you must make sure that you have found HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES... both the content and resolution must be OK'd by me before moving on.

2. This artwork needs to be a complete image with background, midground, foreground and subject matter. NO PORTRAITS, ANIME, VIDEO GAME SCREENSHOTS, OR CARTOONS. Make sure that you use our classroom resource page. The design blogs I have listed there are great places to find gallery after gallery of great images. Here's a shortcut there....
3. Using the same technique you learned while creating your own vector portrait, you will trace your chosen image IN ITS ENTIRETY.
4. If your chosen image is black and white, then you will need to recreate all values of the grey scale present in the image, and if it is a color image, make sure that all colors and shades are represented.
5. The final presentation that you will be turning in will have a digital mat (border) put around your art. In order to do this, the copy that you send me will be saved as a PDF file. You are going to want to make sure that you have your origianl file saved as an Illustrator document, but then go to SAVE AS, and save another file as "YOUR LAST NAME_ILLUSTRATION.PDF." If you don't know how to do this, make sure to call me over so that I can walk you through it.
6. Finally, in the subject of the email, include a tiltle for your artwork. I will include the title, and your name on the final matted artwork. The title can be anything you want, but surely must make sense with the picture you have completed.
