- Did you end up with five completed files?
- Were all five crest templates traced and modified to appear in a three-dimensional environment?
- Were the crest outlines traced efficiently?
- Minimal number of control points used to establish curves?
- Closed shapes are actually closed, so they can be filled?
- Correct choice of point types (corner, curve, connector)?
- Is the 3-D look realistic?
- Shapes are in the correct front-to-back order?
- Drop/cast shadows do not obscure background images?
- Drop/cast shadows relate to the original undistorted shape?
- Sides of "depth" shapes properly follow the outline of the original shape?
- Highlights and shading conform to the curvature of the 3-D object represented?
- Does the crest "interact" with its environment?
- See-through transparent objects?
- Translucent, cropped shadows cast on objects?
- Mirror image seen in reflective surface?
- Soft-edged shadows and lighting effects?
- Objects woven into other objects?
- Is there a variety of techniques used?
- Are there combinations of the approaches listed in the handout?
- Are there additional approaches?
How to turn in your projects and be a winner:
- All projects must be turned in for grading by the finals day for this class.
- There are three projects you should complete:
- Crests (2D/3D)
- Midterm
- Final Illustration
- Besides graded projects, hands-on activities for the course may also include some ungraded exercises.
- Exercises are just an opportunity to try out new skills, and you should not turn them in.
- Projects must be submitted on disk.
- Since the instructor won't be able to return your work immediately, you may want to turn in a floppy disk instead of your valuable Zip disk. You will need to check out one of the USB floppy drives in the lab to transfer your files from one type of disk to the other.
- In other words, you do not need to print out anything.
- Prepare your files as if you were sending them to a service bureau for final output:
- The disk must be clearly labeled with your name and the title of the project--such as "Crests".
- You must include all the information that would be necessary to display and print the work properly:
- All linked files--typically, photos and other raster images not embedded in the FreeHand or Illustrator document.
- Fonts used must be listed, either in a "Read Me" file, or on the disk label. A font listing should include foundry (if known), format, family, and style.
- You must not include any other irrelevant files and folders, or bury the project ten-folders-deep. If the instructor can't find it, it doesn't get graded.
- Only submit for review finished work that you want graded.
- Everything you turn in is assumed to be your best effort, and graded accordingly.
- Do not re-submit work previously graded--unless you have improved on it and wish it to be considered again. The new grade always replaces the previous one.
