Smiley ProjectYou have been hired as a graphic designer by Have a Nice Day Graphics. They want you to create a smiley theme around a topic of your choice similar to the popular Have a Nice Day smiley.
Create a "Have a Nice Day" Smiley that has some sort of theme. Challenge yourself to include gradients, feathering, or transparency. Your smiley should have lots of shapes. You must also add a slogan to your smiley with an appropriate font. The slogan should be a variation on the "Have a Nice Day" slogan, based on your theme. You will be graded on a difficulty rating based on your illustrator technique and attention to detail as well as your creativity. See the examples for ideas. Your image size is 800 width and 600 height. Instructions for how to set up your canvas are to the right. Save your completed graphic as a AI (Illustrator file) and then export as a JPEG file. Label it as last name + first initial + smiley (ex. turnermsmiley.jpg) and save. |
