Broken City Blues by Brian J. Smith
Art Center College of Design
Class: Digital Design 1
Instructor: Daniel Sorenson
Here's my week two assignment for my Digital Design 1 course - a class which specializes in the basics of digital design and the teaching of programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. I could have tested out of the class but honestly I don't know a thing about Illustrator so I think that'll be really beneficial; especially as an Illustration Design major.
The assignment was to draw an illustration and to then color it using separate layers, layer clippings, and layer masks. I've never colored anything digitally like this... now I don't imagine I'll do it any other way (that is until I learn something better).
The basis of the subject is an idea that's been floating around for quite some time in my head. A graphic novel called Broken City Blues. A noir tale inspired by the likes of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Blade Runner, Max Fleischer and Ubbe Iwerks cartoons, Cyberpunk, Science Fiction, Jazz music - it borrows from a lot of themes and subjects.
