1:10 Wednesday / Thursday Illustrator Project: VTC Knight

Today we are going to work on layering different digital assets we create. If we take a look at the night above and break it down into shapes, you will find that it really isn’t that complicated.

We are going to ignore the text. I want you to build a vector version of the knight / sword / shield.

Let’s think about the main areas, and what where we can overlap assets:

The left (stage left) arm – create the metal color and then create separate black elements to go on it.
The helmet – same thing.
The sword – same.
The shield, tassel, and tunic would be created with a large green ( or black) shape, then creating separate black (or green) design elements to layer on top.

The goals for this project are:

Continued practice of the tools in Illustrator / Getting used to the interface.
Working to layer design assets (that may be simple shapes) to create a detailed final product. Don’t get overwhelmed in the process, as soon as the lightbulb goes off over your head you will find that complex designs are actually rather simple!
Practice exporting and creating a final .png.

Save your file as “(lastname)Knight.png” and upload to your “week_14” folder.
