Illustrator I-DAT Magazine Brief
Magazine Advert
To be produced in Illustrator
Your task:
Use the assets in the ‘Illustrator Brief Assets’ to develop a page layout for a magazine
that uses the following aspects of Desk Top Publishing:
1. Bsc(Hons) Digital Art And Technology title (mlatitle.tif) as a .tif file
2. Use of the Bo-Shing graphic as a Vector based graphic at any size
3. Use of the dummy text in text, style and columns of your choice
4. Use of any jpg bitmap files coverted to use for print
5. Optional use of captions.txt and mlalogo.ai
6. Produce an A4 colour print.
The mlatitle.tif file must not be present within the image. Instead use it as a guide to
create your own, correctly kerned title with the illustrator text tool. Similarly
Bo-Shing graphic must not appear within the poster as a jpg, but must be converted into
a vector graphic using the pen tool etc.
Think about:
• How will your use of the graphics and text best work in an ‘architectural’
manner to support the structure of the page.
•Make sure the files are formatted and treated with appropriate care and
attention to details for print.
Please submit your layouts (burned to CD) & Prints
by 5.00pm Friday 14th December.
Marks will be based upon:
• Your ability to kern the MLA title
• Your ability to build a vector based graphic based on the Bo-Shing bitmap
• Your ability to use dummy text appropriately
• Your architectural skills in constructing a coherent and good looking page
• Your design skills in selecting how to manipulate all of the above
components into a contemporary design.
