Collage Project

http://www.dianefenster.com

Please look at the Diane Fenster website to get an idea of what a photo illustration looks like.

Then, consider what Myth, Fairly Tale or Legion you would like to Illustrate, and select at least  seven images you would like to bring into Adobe Illustrator to create your project.

Out of the seven different images pull them together to make a collage. Each  image should be on its own layer. Use the clipping mask to cut of each image.

We will start this project the week of March 3nd.

Save using PDF Optimizer

Open the PDF Optimizer PDF Optimizer provides many settings for reducing the size of PDF files. Some of the PDF Optimizer settings are comparable to the settings that are available when you create a PDF file using Distiller. Whether you use all of these settings or only a few depends on how you intend to use the files and on the essential properties a file must have. In most cases, the default settings are appropriate for maximum efficiency—saving space by removing embedded fonts, compressing images, and removing items from the file that are no longer needed. Before you optimize a file, it’s a good idea to audit the file’s space usage. The space audit results may give you ideas about where best to reduce file size. You can also reduce the size of your PDF by using the Reduce File Size command. Important: Some methods of compression may make images unusable in a print production workflow. You should experiment with various settings before making changes that can’t be discarded. Open the PDF Optimizer  To open the PDF Optimizer dialog box, do one of the following: In a single PDF, choose File > Save As > Optimized PDF. When editing an Action Wizard, click Save To options. Then in the Output Options dialog box, select PDF Optimizer, and click Settings. Note: PDF Optimizer isn’t available when Reflow is selected in the View menu.
