How to Save your Color Portrait Assignment

For those of you who didn't get your color portrait picture printed and handed out need to resave your image on my jump drive. Because of the way you image was saved, it wouldn't let me open up all the color layers. Follow these steps to save correctly.

1. Make sure your artboad is an 11x17 or an 11x11
2. Arrange your images however you would like on your artboard. You may use only one picture, or all 4, or even create a pattern. Make sure to leave a little white on the sides of your artboard so if you frame you picture you won't cut any part of the image off.
3. When your image is just the way you want it go to File > Save As > change the Format from Adobe Illustrator to ADOBE PDF. Also make sure to save your image with with First AND Last name PLUS your class period. ex. JohnSmith3
4. Once it is saved in adobe pdf format come up and get a flash drive from me and save your image to the flash drive.
5. After you have saved to the jump drive properly eject it by clicking on the fash drive icon in the bottom right of your screen. Click eject, WAIT FOR THE LIGHTS TO STOP BLINKING  and then take it out. Please bring the flash drive back to me as soon as  you are finished.

What to do in Visual Design on Thursday...

Today in class you will be able to work on your logo and business cards. Most of the class had gotten their images scanned. If they are open them up in Illustrator and get to work on tracing your image to create your logo. You may use fonts on the computer instead of tracing your handwriting if you would like. When you finish your logo then move on to design your business card. Most business cards are 3x2. You only have 2 more work days left to complete this assignment and any others that are not done. Make the time count and stay on task!

If you have no gotten your image scanned you need to draw your logo our PERFECTLY on a piece of paper. This is not a 2 minute sketch, this in a 45 minute drawing at least. When I get back I will expect you to hand me your prefect drawing of your logo and a perfect drawing of your business card. Again, the business card need to be done with a ruler and look good enough to hand out.

I'm sorry I am not here to scan and help. Thanks for working so hard!
