Hello everyone,
Your newest assignment is the "Polite PSA". This assignment has a time limitation, and is partly an exercise in creativity, as well as developing your Illustrator skills further. You will need to choose from the list below and write a clever message to include that addresses your chosen issue. The message MUST be polite (trust me, it will be funny too).
- You are required to show at least 1 or 2 pencil sketches, or written description of your design.
- Your artwork must be created at 4"X6" size, with imagery and text that is readable from 6-10 feet away.
- You have limited color use, 4 color maximum. White doesn't count but black does. Shades of a color count, so light blue and dark blue count as two colors.
Choose 1 from each list below:
Issues/Problems to address:
- Teachers that lecture too long
- People that don't clean up after their pets
- People that Tailgate
