Fun with Illustrator - Halloween Party Poster

With the basics under your belt, you are now ready to design something using your new favorite program, Adobe Illustrator! Your next assignment will use what you have learned up to this point. How far you take it beyond that is up to you!

Our next assignment will be to create a HALLOWEEN PARTY POSTER! Using only adobe illustrator, create a poster for a fictitious (or real) halloween party! Use the type tool to put all pertinent information on your poster. Use the pen tool, shape tools, paintbrush tool and others to add graphics to your poster. Remember to use halloween-y colors!

Make your documents 8.5x11 (Illustrator's default size) and they can be horizontal or vertical in orientation. You will find it helpful to start out by SKETCHING your ideas in your sketchbooks first. This will help you work through bad ideas, refine your good ideas and see what they might look like before spending hours creating them on the computer.

These should be FUN! These should be WILD! These should be COLORFUL! The sky is the limit, so go crazy with it!

HOMEWORK:

• Come up with ideas for your Halloween party poster.

• Make sketches of what you would like to create.

• Come to class on Monday ready to start working on the computer!
