Weeks #9, 10, 11 & 12 – Class Info & Resources
Did you miss the previous week’s post? –> Go here
This post reflects classes on – 11/13 – 11/20 – 11/27 – 12/4
**Please check my folder in our shared Google Drive for the research examples, production files and iteration outcomes -> all of my examples from our class tutorials live there as well. Class recording are always added to our Canvas page.
Let’s talk about Assignments #5 & #6 –
See below
5 – Invisible City > Planet Travel / Survival Tool
Create a composite image (or a series of them) of a critical, personal, daily / survival tool(s).
Think of the traditional Swiss Army Knife tool or a Communication Device invention or a hybrid of both!
Steps & Process:
Repeat the similar steps and process as in Project #4 (the interplanetary-vehicle) for developing a personal survival tool for your selected traveler.
Create a personal human scaled object (tool) with all the colors, lights and shadows you can see. You can take a real-life image as a reference and based on the image you create the layers for all the colors you believe would best represent that object.
Digital Tools:
(Composite multiple images together in Photoshop+ Illustrator + After Effects)
Explore and employ knowledge of layers, masks, blending modes, and adjustment layers. Employ the combination of tools to develop new composite tool views.

6 – Invisible City > Planet (Space) Travel Suit Composite Image/Collage
Develop a composite image to describe a space / travel suit / fashion or an avatar / robot / machine / Character Traveler for the Invisible Cities story you are developing. (Yes, you can make more than one)
Steps & Process:
Repeat the similar steps and process as in Projects 4+5 for developing a personal survival tool for your selected traveler. Consider the climates and survival needs for either a human traveler in considering the requirements of the travel/space suit, or imagine, describe, design and create a composite visual description for an avatar/robotic/mechanical surrogate traveler.
Develop 1-2 opposing three dimensional composite views (perspectives) and 1-2 two dimensional views (top head, front, rear, left and right profile) of the travel/space suit or avatar/robot/surrogate travel character.
Digital Tools:
(Composite multiple images together in Photoshop+ Illustrator + After Effects)
Explore and employ knowledge of layers, masks, blending modes, and adjustment layers. Employ the combination of tools to develop new composite tool views.
*********************************************
**It is important that you are exploring the potentials of multi-application investigation. I will continue to share tutorials during class time how image files created in photoshop can be easily applied to adobe illustrator, and how those assets and images can lead to the creation of animated works in adobe after effects.
Our class sessions are for tinkering, sharing, working and experimenting with these options.
