Ceiling of Fame

Project Brief

To celebrate the learning we have done so far we will be creating a "ceiling of fame" similar to the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. You will design a double-sided star with your name and stuff that expresses yourself. It will be printed and hung on the ceiling of the classroom.

Copy Illustrator Template

  1. Go to the Star Template

  2. If you aren't already signed in to Adobe, click "Sign in" in the top right corner.

  3. Click "Copy to Files"

  4. Open the Creative Cloud desktop app.

  5. Rename: Right-click on the file and click "Rename" to add your last name to the start:

    • "Last Name, Star"

  6. Open: Right-click and click "Open"

  7. Workspace: Adjust your workspace (go to "Window" > "Workspace" > "Essentials Classic")

Design Your star

  1. In the "Layers" panel, click on the "Your Design Layer"

  2. Add your name and period to the text box at the bottom left of the first artboard.

  3. Design both sides of your star. Each side should include:

    • Your name (text size minimum: 50 pt) (first name required, last name optional)

    • Anything school appropriate you want that illustrates you

Save as .AIC and .PDF

  1. Go to "File" > "Save" to make sure to save your .aic file (if it is grayed out then it is already saved).

  2. Go to "File" > "Save As..."

  4. Click "Creative Cloud Files" folder on the left menu

  5. Name: "Last Name, Star"

  6. Click "Save"

  7. Click "Save PDF"

  8. Once you save as a .pdf, exit out of Illustrator. If you need to edit again and resave, make sure to edit your .aic file and re-save as a .pdf.
