  5. Chronological Order: Each slide must be in the order in which we did the projects (ex. the 1st project slide should be the 1st project created).
    1. ​Each project is listed in order under the FIMA tab.​
  6. Proportioned Images: Each project must be uploaded in your portfolio proportionally. This means they should NOT be skewed or warped in any way!

Final Project

For your final project, you will choose ONE of the projects below.
 You can use Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, or a combination of both programs to complete the final
 using the tools and skills you have gained throughout the course. 
Each of the project options are based on previous projects we have done throughout the year. Therefore, there will be no new tutorials posted for the assignment. However, you do have access to the entire website so you may use older tutorials if needed. 
This is your time to SHINE and show off everything you've learned. You will be completing your final project 100% on your own! 
Just remember... pay attention to detail and fill your composition creatively and appropriately! 

Project Option #1: REFLECTIONS

REFLECTIONS is a project that combines the character Illustration project and digital painting. With this project, you are to either create a template showing an interesting reflection of someone or something OR for extra credit, you can create a self-portrait. The reflection must be creative - not just someone looking at a mirror or in water. Think of all the different objects we encounter everyday that has a reflective surface...sunglasses, pots & pans, light fixtures, utensils, sculptures, etc. 

Project Option #2: COMIC LIFE

COMIC LIFE is a project that will use your pen tool skills and knowledge about composition using Adobe Illustrator. In this project, you are to come up with a mini story that you can illustrate mimicking a comic. Stories can illustrate an everyday routine, things that you witness or experience, or you can make a fantasy-style comic. Regardless of your story line, you CANNOT use any character that exists already....that is copyright! 
Although you can use text, the main focus should be on the artwork. 

Project Option #3: POLY SKULL

POLY SKULL is a project just like the ​Animal Poly project but instead of creating an animal portrait, you will be creating a skull of some sort. To begin this project, you will be creating a mini collage of a skull and whatever you would like placed with it. For example, you can have a skull with a sand timer, skull with flowers, skull with butterflies, etc. The collage needs to be arranged interestingly to make a strong composition. Once the collage is arranged, you can add filters to your collage to make it POP as opposed to keeping traditional colors. Obviously the collage will be done in Adobe Photoshop. As far as the polys go, you have the option to complete the polys in Photoshop the same way we did the Animal Poly OR you can do it in Illustrator and follow Mrs. Ras' tutorial. POLY AWAY!!
