Illustrator Final Project - Part 1

The company Candy Surplus wants you  to create a web banner that will promote their Christmas sales.  They would like a web ad that “pops-out” at the reader, which should suggest using elements that create a 3D effect.  They would also like the ad to display some sort of holiday theme to it.  The ad should catch the attention of web readers so it should be colorful and interesting, don’t be afraid to use patterns and intricate designs.  Everything in the project needs to be original!  Do Not copy & paste from the internet. The document size should be 1000px wide and 500px in height.  Here’s what you will need:

Theme: This should give you an idea of the size and a possible theme.

Text: Apply a creative text that reads "Candy Surplus" you may use a tutorial to do this. You can also add a tag line or slogan if you want.

Candy: Draw some colorful candy pieces. Browse this website for ideas.

Create a Web Profile Page

Case Study:

There is a new social network that expects to be bigger than Facebook! They have asked you to build their future profile page.  It should include elements similar to other social network profile pages, such as a profile picture, an about section, an area for posts, a place to show your friends, etc.  Take a look at your Facebook, Tumblr, Indeed, YouTube accounts.  What do they have in common?  How do they stand out from each other? Your goal is to create a profile page that is unique from the others but has similar functions.  The dimensions for this project should be: 1280 x 768 and you should use the Web Document preset.  If you set it up correctly you will be using the RGB color mode.  You will also need to create the name for the new social network.
