Text in Illustrator: Create an image combining text with an image/s (i.e. a drawing, a photograph, trace an image or draw your own in Illustrator). Try to push the creativity of text. Think about what the text is about to choose an appropriate font (or make your own font) and image to correspond with it. The text can be the image (draw a path and then type on a path), the text doesn't have to legible, it can be distorted, blurred, skewed, etc. to give an overall feel to what the text or concept is about.
Use the Illustrator Help links I've picked out below to help you along if you get stuck.
And look at some of the "Art Sites" to your right for some inspiration or look up your favorite albums, movie posters, artists books, etc. to study how they combined text with image (Barbara Kruger is a good one).
As always, make sure you save an Illustrator file (.ai) version of this work and a jpeg one to go on your blog. Please post on your blog before next class so we can critique your work.
