All right, it is time now for our second assignment here in this course. And for this one, we have now seen pretty much all of the features that procreate can offer for us. We all know where every tool lives within the application. We know how to use brushes, how to use layers, how to use layer options, such as clipping masks, layer masks, how to make gradients, how to use the grids, such as the 2d grid perspective grid in the symmetry grid, and we also know how to stay organized within our layers and our files. So for this assignment, we're actually going to do a calendar page within a calendar. So the canvas for this one is going to actually be a vertical canvas.

So I'm rotating my iPad on to a vertical layout here, just so I can display my canvas a little better. We're going to set up A new file, that's going to be the screen size of your iPad. And for the grid section, I'm actually using each cell with somewhere around 100 991 pixels. So after you create this file, these are the only rules for the top side of your calendar. You can do whatever illustration comes to mind whatever style, you want to do your illustration, if you want to do a character piece, or if you want to do something like landscape, it is totally up to you the number of colors as well, you can just express yourself freely with the top side of that, the side of the cameras, and for that I'm actually counting somewhere around six squares. And then I'm drawing a horizontal line.

And that's where the top part of the page will be dedicated for that illustration. On the bottom side of the page, we're going to write your favorite month. And in this case, my favorite month is August. That is my birthday month and we're then To write the days of the month, and I've actually just researched on Google, what are the dates for 2019 so that it lines up correctly. Mine starts on Thursday, Thursday, the first of August. And I'm just choosing also my favorite typeface for this section.

So, just try to think of like in terms of layout, what actually type face that comes with procreate, I'm not actually even importing any new fonts, you can do that as well if you'd like to, but I'm actually using one of the fonts that were provided by procreate itself and just try to choose a font that actually goes with your design for the design that I've chosen here. For my example, I'm using one of the illustrations that I've done on my YouTube channel goes paper, and I'm just going to place that at the top of my layout. So again, try to have some fun with this one. Try to actually use everything that you've learned here in this course. If you want to create something that does have a gradient in the back Round, that's totally fine. If you want to use geometric elements, that's also fine.

If you want to go a little bit more abstract, try to express in your own art style. And finally, just be mindful of the spacing. Here. In this example, I've used the grid once again, in order to separate my the days of the month and the days the week a little better, so that everything feels a little bit more even. So make sure to duplicate layers. And I didn't merge any layers until I was satisfied with my layout for the numbers and letters.

So make sure that you keep her videos live, and try to have some fun with this assignment. And I will see you on the next lesson.
