Alphabet Soup - Illustrator

The Illustrator brief - in relation to the Alphabet Soup work we produced - required us to create 26 variations of a particular letterform using Illustrator as our tool. We are restricted to using one colour but can also experiment with halftones.

Throughout the Illustrator workshops, we learned (or revisited) several basic Illustrator techniques which we could use to adapt and modify a particular letter. We were also introduced to industry print standards, filetypes, the comparison of web and print aswell as CMYK and RGB and vector/bitmap imagery.

PRINT: CMYK, lossless, uncompressed. File types include AI, PSD and IND (software specific) aswell as TIFF, PDF, EPS and PS.

WEB: RGB, lossy, compressed. File types include JPEG, PNG and GIF

The final resolution of 26 letterforms should be presented on a landscape, A1 document (841 x 594mm) in two rows of 13.
