Create a minimalist comic book cover with you favorite hero. Google Minimalist Hero for project inspiration. Follow the Chris Spooner tutorial here.
This tutorial will be a review of the Illustrator Pathfinder palette and Shape tools, as well as a great demonstration of their combined power. Then, you will move your design to Photoshop to learn a basic coloring technique using Fill and the Area Selector tool. In Photoshop you will also learn to apply a texture over your artwork to create an aged effect.
File >> Save for Web... and upload your finished project to your blogger for grading.
