Postcard Series

EU: Different effects can be used in both Illustrator and Photoshop to develop a specific look for a design. Understanding how to make certain effects within the programs will help you to advance your Adobe software skills. 


EQ: How can you create a 3D text effect using Illustrator?


Assignment: Develop a series of 3 postcards that match for 3 different places

Objective: To learn how to create a 3D text effect in Illustrator and apply it to a design

Summary: You will be creating a series of 3-4 postcards with a vintage or modern style based on different locations in the world. Your locations should go together somehow (European cities, Caribbean islands, etc.). 

Size: 5x7 inches Landscape, 300 Resolution

Steps: 

  1. Your first Project Development grade will be to start a sketch brainstorming 3 sets of potential locations groups and the images which may go in them. Will your set be modern or vintage? What can your images be and how will they work on your 5x7 layout. Start here!
  2. Once you have decided and been approved on your 3 places and your plan of how you will lay out your cards, start work in Illustrator on your 3D lettering using the tutorial in this link (3D lettering tutorial) below. Make sure to choose a font and style it according to your design concept before making it 3D. Imporant*-For now just work on the font and making it 3D with the colors that you like and do all 3 words for the cities at one time!
