This project demonstrates two stages of an Illustrator and Photoshop exercise my Design Fundamentals 1 students will be working on in the Fall Semester.
The exercise requires them to design a postcard based on their environment. With classes remaining online in the Fall, they will have to decide what their environment is. Will they focus on their hometown? Or maybe their street? Even their room? It's up to them. The brief requires them to replicate a typical 1950s vacation destination postcard. They will research postcards, their environment, identify focal points and then work through the design and implementation of their postcard initially in Illustrator - type manipulation - and then in Photoshop - image manipulation.
