Text Drawing

Create 4 text drawings using the skills learned in class.
No Color
1. Expressive
2. Representational
3. Non-representational

Pattern

Create a pattern in Illustrator that will be output on the laser cutter. Remember to think about how this process works. A pattern can't contain details within an enclosed area or eveything will be cut out. You must provide the paper.
Remember the details for the laser cutter are
Max size 18"x32"
File Format AI
R;255, B:0, G:0

Scanner Face

Scan your face in a smushy expressive way. Import/place the photo into Illustrator. Use the pen tool to create a self-portrait. Think from back to front.... large shape to details. Opacity and gradients are a big help.
