=Online Graphic Design=  =Assignment # 12 - Graphic Design Package 1=

You are to pick 4 online tutorials that must be vetted by me. Choose tutorials that will expand your skill level.
 * 1) One must include vector work in Illustrator,
 * 2) One must include photorealism, and
 * 3) One must include corporate graphic design (e.g. logo creation).
 * 4) The 4th may be of a type of your choosing. If you are more focused on the Digital Imaging component of TG4M, then get tutorials that accentuate that line of inquiry (e.g. photography). If you are more focused on the digital editing aspects of TGJ4M, then search out more Photoshop-oriented tutorials.

Complete all the tutorials and submit a link to the original tutorial, the product you've created/made, and all source files necessary to complete the tutorial as if you were giving it to another student.

[|Portrait Setups]

Remember to use full manual and snap between 5-10 pictures of the individual to ensure you get a good picture. A tripod is a must for this assignment! The product may be shot as well, or if not practical you can see if can use royalty-free artwork. Once captured, get a card reader from me and transfer the pictures to your computer.

Setup is 8"x10" 220 dpi photo that you could use as a portfolio entry piece (for that reason it's best if it is you).

Please be mindful we're using only stock work with clear free copyright!
