For this project we are going to combine the art of photography with the art of digital illustration. I want your illustration to be the inspiration for the photo and interact with the main subject or landscape around it. In the majority of the examples below the local artist, Kelly, whose instagram handle is @kellyofthewild, regularly makes her illustrations look like they are coming off the paper but purposely photographing herself and her materials in the scene in which her illustration would live.
We are not simply just adding illustrations to an existing photo, but we are planning out what you want to illustrate and taking a photo that is simply missing your illustration. You have to plan out how the main subject or the scenery is going to interact with your illustration. In some of the images the artist has an actual drawing partially finished on her paper and then she does a digital illustration that would go along with the real life drawing, or she transitions her real life drawing into digital art. In other images you don't even see the paper but she creates a relationship between herself and the illustration as you can see in the mammoth and flamingo pieces.

For this self portrait, I want you to create the image entirely out of lyrics of your favorite song or poem. To do this you will have to use the typography tool in Photoshop and warp it to fit the various features of your face. Below are a couple tutorials on how to shape words into specific or generic shapes. You may want to play with various colors, boldnesses of the fonts, and a variety of different fonts to represent values or textures of the face, or bring emphasis to the words/areas of the face that you care about the most. Waring Text Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4nvu920FvE In traditional media artists can create beautifully intricate drawings using only lines. The typical techniques are hatching, cross hatching, stippling, weighted line drawings, or continuous scribble line drawing. You will select one of these techniques to create a detailed line illustration. This illustration must be black and white but if you choose you can also add one accent color besides the black and white values. See examples:
You will be illustrating a landscape design of your choice. The landscape can be naturalistic, surreal, or even cartoony. You may want to research several reference images or even create somewhat of a digital collage to work from before starting your illustration. Be sure to have a focal point and tie in some principles of design such as emphasis, rhythm / repetition, contrast, movement, or perspective. A successful landscape will have a successful composition - one that is engaging with the viewer. Think of the rule of thirds for your focal points, what moves the viewers eye around your composition, what little tiny elements in your landscape will captivate their attention. Add small details. Avoid vast large areas without anything in them.
Choose a metaphor to create an image that represents that metaphor. Common metaphors include:
- You are what you eat. - Rollercoaster of emotions. - They'll eat you alive. - My head is spinning. - You have a heart of gold. - I'm on top of the world. You can create a digital drawing, a digital collage/mixed media (collage and drawing), or set up a photo that depicts your metaphor. If you choose a photo, I want several photos taken of different metaphors (a minimum of 5 metaphor images) - remember the rules of composition, importance of a good light source, and cropping. DO NOT COPY EXISTING WORKS! Create original designs, or original solutions to the problem. SEmmy Awards
***This is a show you submit work for on your own*** -Due March 8th to an online application -For website design, video/movie production, digital photography, digital imaging design, graphic design, animation/motion graphics, game design, and music composition only. https://web.spcollege.edu/survey/20489 Illustrate a space that is personal to you, one where you spend the most time. I do not want any actual people in the illustration. Use a reference photo. You will not have to copy the exact colors. You can have some artistic creative say in what colors your objects actually are. See the example in different stages below:
For our midterm, you will be creating a digital illustration using two completely different things and morphing them together into an original illustration. You may use reference images if you need to but you cannot copy any ideas from the internet. Your design must be completely original. You can choose to do one illustration in full detail of the morphed figure or a series of 3-5 illustrations showing the two things morphing together through stages. Avoid generic combinations, for example Alligator Necklace - do not draw a necklace with an alligator charm. Instead think of a bunch of alligators latched together head to tail worn around someone's neck. Pick one item from the left and on item from the right to combine into an original illustration:
A lot of artists sell their designs online and a popular seller, especially around this time of year, is wrapping paper. People want to buy original designs that are cute and unlike the traditional wrapping paper they can buy at any super store. For this project, you will be designing your own wrapping paper that you could potentially sell online or at least print off to use on small packages for the holidays this year. You will pick a theme, any theme, such as sea creatures, fast food items, accessories, farm animals, aliens, etc. and you will draw individual illustrations for various objects that go with your theme. If you chose fast food, you could illustration a cheese burger, French fries, ketchup packet, soda, etc. You want to illustrate these individually in different documents or at least not touching each other in the same document. After you have these individual illustrations you will watch a tutorial to put them all together and create a repeating pattern.

This year the theme is Awaken Dreams. You will create a digital illustration of your choice that is surreal and represents the theme, awaken dreams. Some techniques surreal artists used were: Transformation (where something transforms into something else), Juxtaposition (two things next to each other that shouldn't be or couldn't be in reality) or changing the Scale (having some items be much larger than others in their natural state). Their images were dream like scenarios. Things that couldn't really happen in real life. See examples below:
