::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: You will be designing a series of promotional pieces featuring a designer and his/her work. Look and Feel: The solutions should be an organic/kinetic series. The audience shouldn’t be able resist your promotional piece, want to find out more AND want to go to the exhibit. Your audience is easy this time: it is anyone that is interested in design or is interested in what is happening at the Bloch / Nelson. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: *take Project_04_expo off the server and put it on your external FONTS: No more than 2 fonts you may use 1 display font. If you find a font off the approved font list you must get it approved. COLOR: No more than 3 colors plus black and white and tints POSTER {17 x 22 inches CATALOG: {front and back plus 3 spreads: WEB PAGE 800 x 600 pixels (this is the size of a typical web page) http://girard.houseind.com/ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Bio: history/background about the designer you have chosen. Images: what images / pieces stand out in your research as being a “key” image that describes what they do. You will need to decide on 1 – 3 key image(s) and find 15 – 20 supporting images. Text: Find at least 1200 words about your person (wikipedia does not count). It can be a series of articles/interview/combination of bio, articles, interviews, quotes. It can be information about the person or about the "topic". You do not need to write the text but you do need to have it to complete this project. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Visuals: Identify 1 – 3 images that you think are “key”/iconic to the person. * have at least 1 key/iconic image that you can "cut out" of the background. HOMEWORK Designer/Object: post on your blog... Bio: history/background about the person Images: what images / pieces stand out in your research as being a “key” image that describes what they do. You will need to decide on 1 – 3 key image(s) post your 1 - 3 images. You will need to find/identify 15 – 20 supporting images for possible use in the catalog but you do not need to post them onto your blog. Just the 1 - 3 "key", "iconic" images. BRING: think and thick markers, your object printed out small and large and tracing paper. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Working in class on type studies, graphic translations and image cropping in class: use your time wisely you have a lot of homework. *Hallmark Tour Reminder HOMEWORK Title of exhibition: what is the title of your exhibition? subtitle, could be the name of the designer or the title could be something more abstract: Inside/Out, Sitting on the Edge... Color palette: what colors support or contrast the persons work. Type studies: using the font_sheet indesign doc as a guide, conduct a typographic study. Choose an "iconic" image by the person and put it next to their last name. Try 18 different fonts (2 sheets). Looking at the characteristics of the object like you would characteristics of a font. Try fonts that match and contrast those characteristics. (don't forget to try condensed, extended, bold, italic). Take notes of the name of the font and why you think it works or why you think it doesn't work. Translation: If you have one object you want to work with fine if you want to try more that is fine also. Take your 1 - 3 "key/iconic" images and interpret them graphically (how can you translate the object: realistic to abstract: by hand or on the computer. *A translation is looking that the object and drawing it relaistically to abstract, can you show the object with just 1 - 3 lines? how much information do you need to see it? Best way to do the translation is to have the object printed out: high contrast. And trace it, over and over and over. If you find something you like you can scan it in and redraw it with the pen tool in illustrator. Book on translations. So you can work fast I prefer by hand sketches, least 20 ROUGH sketches. Crop: take your 1 - 3 images and crop them: what is the most interesting feature? crop in varying degrees to very close up, use the page differently: bleed off the right, left, top, bottom: avoid bleeding off all 4 sides: try only 2 or 3 sides. Show at least 10 different crops. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Also Friday April 17th Hallmark Tour. Be there (at Hallmark in Kansas City) bright and early 8:30, bring CASH for lunch, wear comfortable shoes and don't wear sweats! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: HOMEWORK Translation: refine and begin to produce at least 1 translation on the computer. Explore: scale, color, pattern, white space, contrast, cropping, shapes, line art, full color, one color images (colorize)... THIS IS THE EXPLORATION stage so explore, let go of any pre-conceived ideas and explore -- QUICKLY. Quick sketches, no refined designs. Cut and paste, large collage cut up (example on the server) and or quick computer sketches. Print them all out in color or black and white, not full size. Find Text: for the catalog you will need copy. Please bring the copy you found online or from printed sources that you can use for your spreads. You will need at least 1200 words. You do not need to write it. It can be a series of articles, an interview. No wiki text! Identify at least 3 sentences/quotes that you can call out. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: HOMEWORK print out everything, in color PRESENTATIONS: Have your presentation on the server before the next class starts. Practice it, keep it to no more than 15 minutes. Remember you need to face the class so the projection will be behind you. That means someone in your group will have to click the next slide for you. PRACTICE. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: HOMEWORK ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: HOMEWORK * for the review I recommend you print out and spiral bind (copy co has metal spirals) one process book from your work this semester. no process book due for this project! spend your time designing/refining your project} if you are happy with the project I suggest making a process book for your self (after the semester is over) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: *I prefer your poster printed out large 17 x 22 on the large epson HOWEVER because of time if the print line is long you may print it out on 13 x 19.
