Name Game

Assignment #4 – Illustrator “Name Game”

Students are introduced to basic Illustrator tools including the selection and direct selection tools, and specialized applications using text (text on paths, creating outlines, grouping and un-grouping), using layers, gradients, symbols, clipping masks, and shape manipulation tools. For this assignment, students must demonstrate knowledge of each of the listed tools and applications in one design that is theme based incorporating their name. The outcome should not appear to be a random showing, but instead a deliberate and well though out composition showing their ability to use the tools.

Students will save their work as both a native .ai file and as a .pdf file to their files1. Students will upload their final piece as a PDF to their ePortfolios  Digital Media page with the assignment order number, and with a detailed assignment description (can be copied and pasted from here) and reflection restating what they did, how they did it, and how they feel about their work.

PDF NameGame

Reflection: For the assignment I had to pick a pretty picture from the internet. Next I added the gradient tool, text tool, symbol tool, and layers. It was very simple and fast and I had fun. I think I did well on this assignment. I helped my peers with the gradient tool because it was kinda tricky. When I was done I exported it and made it a PDF and uploaded it to my ePortfolio.
