HOMEWORK:
bring in at least 4 different images of a place (preferably outdoors)
requirements:
-the images must be saved to a thumb drive or external
hard drive (not on your camera).
-they must be high-resolution, or large images (approximately 1000 to 3000 pixels)
-approximately 300ppi
-try to find organic textures: tree bark, rocks, ocean waves, etc.
-the images don't need to be new, but they should be yours (or copyright free)
Next class:
-We will be using your images to start your 1st project.
(more details TBA)
-Ultimately you will be vectorizing your images
-The end result will look something like this screen print or these images
