For Class March 20

Work on bottle labels during class. Use any media you like to create the illustrations: traditional then scanned, Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop (but don’t use InDesign to make your illustrations, D!). Once your illustrations are done, place them in Adobe InDesign to set your type. If your doing special effects for your display type or if it’s integrated with the illustration, it can be part of the Photoshop document. If you’re using Adobe Illustrator, you can create the illustration as well as typesetting there, since it’s a vector program and your type will be crisp and legible. Adobe Photoshop is a raster program and will make your type, especially the small body copy, bitmappy and hard to read.
