Illustrated Quote

For this project you will be using Adobe Illustrator to illustrate a quote, poem, or part of a song lyric. Your objective is to creatively use typography and incorporate simple imagery.

9 slides building the quote

10-finished quote!

Things to think about:

Composition

· Juxtaposition – Think of interesting ways to position your text.

· Flow – Where will your quote start, travel to, and end? How will your reader follow the text?

· Font – What fonts will ‘illustrate’ your words best?

· Imagery – What simple imagery or icons can you add and incorporate within the text to add visual interest?

· Color – Choose a color scheme that appropriately works with your quote.

What is your text? Write it our here:

Brainstorm imagery – on the left, list words in your quote that you feel are ‘visual’, then on the right, list imagery/icons you can add.

Sketch out a rough plan for your project. Plan the composition and flow of the words. Think about how you will make important text stand out and where and how you will add your imagery.
