illustrator self portraits

April 6, 2009

You need to create some self portraits using Adobe Illustrator for your 105 class (check out the assignment guideline here).

Check out the portraits (all done in Adobe illustrator) below for ideas about how to create yours. Consider how each of these portraits is a composition of line, shape, value, texture, and color (or lack thereof). How are these design elements helping the final illustration? How can you use the same ideas for your own illustrations?

Your original photograph will have a lot to say about how the end result looks. Consider the angle of the face, the facial expression, the amount of detail in the hair or clothing.

Understanding and use of economy and closure are necessary for this assignment.
