A message to the Graphics Class

Now that you have finished your posters for Pride and Prejudice, you need to begin designing the t-shirts!

Keep in mind that the t-shirts will need to be a 2 colour graphic that also expresses the mood, feeling, era and theme of the play. This will be done in Illustrator. Please make sure that as you create this graphic, you keep things separated on different layers, particularly by colour.

To begin with, please create 10-20 thumbnail sketches!!! How can you turn the beautiful and romantic posters you created into something that is a vector illustration in only 2 colours.

Some things to consider:
Colour: The t-shirts will be black so the two colours you choose need to work well for the play, but also need to look good against the black of the t-shirt.
Try it out on a black background and see if the colours you are thinking about will work. Use the colour book.

The graphic: The image should be easily readable. Think about your vector objects that you created in grade 11. Easily identifiable but still dynamic and beautiful.

I'll be back before the end of class. I expect to see at least 10 thumbnail sketches and some thoughts on colour by the end of the period.
Have fun.
Ms. Silverman

Note for Kassey: Mr. Danakas has requested that you take the poster you made, and remove the dates, so he can use that as the cover for the program.
