In Chapter 5 in White Space, you read about many terms that can help you make compelling graphic designs.
Here are some examples that demonstrate the terms. Can you add your own examples as links or images to that Google doc?
These terms are important for our class and I’d like you to use them when you critique the work of your peers later in the semester. Today in class, use Illustrator to create some compositions that demonstrate any of the elements/rules/laws of visual communication. Use a different artboard for each composition. Here are some student examples that might help you get started.
Save your images as .png files and upload them to your Tumblr or Pinterest when you’re done. You can export individual images as .png by going to File > Export, selecting the format, and which artboard you want.
If you are struggling in general with Illustrator, there are tons of tutorials online. Adobe has made a series of very short videos that will introduce you to the essential tools and tasks.
