Based on some of the responses posted to our Discussion Forum, we will take some time at the beginning of class to talk about our reading from the Language of New Media.
At the beginning of the work session, a short demonstration will be given on using color in Illustrator. Project 1 is designed to have a limited color palette, and so determining a few colors as the basis for the artwork is an important step. The focus of this presentation will be the color guides that are available to help determine colors that work well together visually. Later in the semester we will look at color systems with more detail.
Following this your time should be used in developing your vector illustrations for Project 1. There will be about half of the class time devoted to this work session. After that, you will be required to submit a rough version or draft of your Project. This submission should be made on D2L. General guidelines will be given, but to summarize, you will use "Save For Web" to output an image from your workfile and this image will be used for feedback.
