Project #1 – MidTerm Project (now with late penalty)

If you did not submit your midterm project on 3/22, it is now late and will incur a late penalty of 5% off your grade. If you don’t submit it at all you will receive a grade of “0”, so take time to get it done during the break.

  • Find a Disney poster online that you will copy by tracing. Try not to select a post that is too complicated. Your finished poster will conclude the type also.
  • Create an 11 x 17 Tabloid File.
  • Open the rulers (view > Rulers > Show Rulers) and drag a half-inch border all around the edges as a guide. Select three images from Google of a Disney Poster.
  • Prepare the file to draw, using the image as a template.
    Using the template, start to draw shapes and then fill in colors in shaped areas. You will need to use layers to keep everything organized.
  • Save your file according to the following naming convention — 07_LastName_midterm.ai (Illustrator file). Your file should still have the layers when you submit it, so I can see. how you built the file.
  • Upload the finished file to Google Drive.
  • Review Class 7 for information that will help you with this project.
