1) Scan a photographic image (at 300dpi) of a current political figure
or someone of strong political conviction?someone of interest to you for
any reason.

2) Do some photo manipulation of your scanned image in Photoshop,
things such as altering color levels, cropping, any number of things to
make the image more interesting.

3) Create a new document in Illustrator and place your photographic
image in the background layer. Again, when you place this image into
your Illustrator doc, remember to Link the file, don?t embed it.

4) Create a new layer and explore ways to draw and paint using what you
learned to ?posterize? parts of your work by
using the Live Trace tool and any other tools you would like. You are
creating a final image that still contains visible portions of the
photographic image that you placed and also contains interesting
vector-work in Illustrator so don?t cover the entire photographic image.
Save this as a .ai in your project directory as you work.

5) Next, create another new layer on top of all other layers. Title
this layer ?text?. Add text to your image on this layer. Stay away from
using slogans or catch phrases. Instead, try to use text that is
specific to you and your ideas alone in relation to the particular
political figure.

6) Just as we talked about in unit 1, it is important to make your text
an interesting, cohesive part of the artistic work. You might feel like
working in a direction that takes a sort of ?design? approach and tries
to lead or direct the viewer to something isolated and very specific or
you might create something that leaves more room for the viewer to make
their own connections or decisions and find how the work relates to
them.

7) Again, when utilizing text, some things to consider in order to help
it become interesting are things such as transparency and altering the
shapes and forms of the letters themselves.

8) Once you?ve finished your piece, save the final version as a .ai
in you directory folder then save a
.jpg at a resolution of no more than 150. DO NOT zip and upload your
entire root project directory. Only submit your ,jpg.
