Self Portrait Assignment Using Illustrator

You are to create a new project where you design a self portrait using either the trace tool or pen tool.

Please scan in an image of yourself and put it on layer 2 and then on layer 3 use the pen to trace the image below. It is best to have the transparency turned on so you may see the image below.

The portrait does not have to be an exact representational image of yourself but more like a illustration. A good example might be those of Alex Katz. Although he is a painter, you should be able to get a good idea of how he reduces the image to its basic components.

This project will be due the first of next week. We will view these images on screen like we did the collage.
