“I thank you infinitely for choosing this course. It has been a pleasure for me to be able to share this space with you and to have been able to show you my entire process. I hope you have learned new things, I am glad to have provided you with the necessary tools so that you also discover which process makes you feel more comfortable to work with. Before we say goodbye, let's review the key phases of the project. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Remember that the idea is that you carry out a project different from mine. You do not have to illustrate the text that I have used, you can also freely choose another text that catches your attention. The text First, select the text to illustrate. Then, identify in the text the concepts you want to address and brainstorm ideas, associations, phrases, sketches (everything you can think of to capture what you have in mind).

Visual material Once you have defined how you are going to represent your idea, look for the visual material you need to make your illustration. You can search the internet, books, magazines, newspapers, etc. You can also take your own photos if you want something very specific. Crop and composition in Photoshop Create the file in Photoshop and make sure that the images you have selected have the necessary quality to be able to work with them. Then, cut out your material and with it pose and define the composition of your image. Color and texture Lastly, work on the color and textures of your illustration. Note that if it works for you, you can leave the color or texture of your original material; you can also edit it a bit or change it to your free choice. This way you will finish your final project. Now share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. There is sure to be something new to learn and teach! Until next time!”
