Idiom Illustration
App:
Illustrator
ASSIGNMENT:
Your assignment is to illustrate an idiom. An idiom is a phrase that has a non-literal meaning. Think of "it's raining cats and dogs" or "the cat's out of the bag." You don't have to do one about cats (but you can).
This project is all about being playful, a little bit clever, and very literal.
