HOMEWORK #7

• Illustrated Environment / DUE: 11/8

• Using Adobe Illustrator, import a raster image of an environment, this may be a photograph from a city block, a natural environment, an interior – any setting that you wish. 

• Use the photograph as a template in its own layer to create an illustrated version of the setting (be sure to lock the photo layer). 

• Use a combination of all the tools that Illustrator offers to transform the environment; do not merely use Image Trace. 

• Make use of layers to separate the foreground, middle ground, and background. You may only use three colors in this assignment.

• Use the Adobe Color CC website to create a Triad color theme for the illustrated environment.

• This should be a 1920 x 1080 Artboard. Use Export, Export for Screens… to save for the web as a PNG. 

• Upload the initial photograph of the environment and the exported Illustrator environment to your website. Include a paragraph about the environment describing why you chose it and how you transformed it.

•  Again: Upload the paragraph, original image, and your illustration to your website.
