NO FOUND PHOTOS

Please do not use found photos from the web for your posters. You may use photos you take from your camera or cell phone, but NO FOUND PHOTOS FROM THE INTERNET.

The posters we look at next Monday must be different from the ones you post on the wall today; the posters must reflect change based on classmate comments. Both versions must be on your blog. If you do not understand, please email me for a further explanation.

Please make sure all posters are off of the wall in the glass hallway and all new posters are in the glass cases just outside the lab.

GIGPOSTERS - 1

Over the next few weeks, we will concentrate on different design strategies with our gig posters.

For the first one, we will be working with texture in layers, and depth, of flat layers. Achieved should be the effect of stacked layers of textured paper.

GIGPOSTERS

Begin looking for posters you find compelling on this site:

http://www.gigposters.com/

TEXTUREs

Begin collecting scans as well as photographs of various and sundry textures.

Monday, October 18

Class for Monday, October 18th has been cancelled. The lab will be open for you to work, but attendance is not mandatory for either Monday or Wednesday. The project due dates have not changed, but there will be no group critique this week. Instead, for the 8.5 x 11 post due this week, please post to the wall in the long hallway we used for our larger posters. Please meet with at least two classmates for suggestions on the printed posters and post their suggestions to the blog (along with your corrections to the design) by Monday October 28th. Post the final posters at this time as well, on the next wall over.

PAPER BOMBS cont...

All students should have had a work in progress critique by the end of class on Monday, October 18th.

Email responses to mail from me, sent through argus to the class, will automatically have the above as a subject heading.

Monday, September 13th, 2010

We will work to combine all of the elements we have found on the web (and converted to the illustration style of our WPA posters) into a single design. This means that you will need to create a setting or ground for your elements (the person and three objects)

Do not yet worry about turning this design into something with a propaganda message. First try and assemble all of the elements into a composition. Be mindful of the composition of your original WPA poster and the mood the composition creates. Answer the following questions in paragraph form on your blog before beginning:

Why might the artist have used the particular setting?

figure/ground relationships?

figure/figure relationships?

What is the artists saying with the composition?

What is the artists saying with light?

How might you evoke similarly without any text?

How might you change the mood without any text in a manner that stays true to the original artwork?

The final design should be tabloid sized and printed on the laserjet 5550.

Class for Wednesday, September First

Please use class time to work on a figure based on the style of your WPA poster.

The next step in the project will be based on the "Paper Bombs" article you are reading. Use addition class time to consider possibilities for this project. We will be making two posters, one to boost the morale of students during exam week, the other to demoralize them. The propaganda or advertising strategy for one of these posters should bear a direct relationship to the strategy used in your WPA poster, as should the design style.

WPA UWF

WPA UWF post I:

Go to the following link and browse through posters from the WPA Artists:

Posters from the WPA

Find three posters of interest to you, each from a different section:

1. Health and Safety

3. Travel and Tourism

4. Educational Programs

5. Community Activities

6. Federal Project Number One

7. World War II

Post the posters to your blog and do the following for each of the posters:

a. Respond to the palette from the poster:

Bring the poster into Illustrator or Photoshop and isolate the palette into adjacent rectangles of color.. Post this palette to your blog. Respond strictly to this pallette (not the poster): what is the relationship between the colors, what do they do, how do they work?

b. Respond to the illustration style of the poster:

Find photographic images of the objects featured in the poster (as un-stylized or as documentary as possible given the limited resources of the internet) . Notice how the artist has abstracted these objects into an illustration style. Describe this style, the artist's process, in relation to the photographic representations.

c. Respond to the persuasive technique of the poster:

How is the poster working to influence behavior? What is the poster asking you to do? How is the poster convincing you to do it?

We ask that you pass this information on to your classes.

Each participating student will design a portfolio of four separate fliers with the themes designated below.

Flier 1 - Game announcement
Flier 2 - Recap of past season/recruitment
Flier 3 - Recruitment flier juxtaposed with lack of football team containing pertanent practice info.
Flier 4 - FAQ flier/recruitment

The dead line for contest entries will be May 15th, 2010.

Wed. Feb 10 - Working Critique

On Wednesday we will be looking at your projects in progress as a class. You should be integrating the symbols into an instructional design by this time. We will be discussing the poster as well as the icons. The projects will be due and ready to print the following Wednesday, Feb. 17.

Will will be learning to use the printers on this day.

NEXT

EXPAND UPON EXERCISE TWO in order to develop a pictographic library to use for our next PROJECT:

Teach a Martian How To Tie an Earth Shoe

( we will use our icons in an instructional format - to create a poster to illustrate how to do something )

BLOG POST for EXERCISE ONE due 1/25/10

Please post a .png of the typeface that you used as well as a .png of the icons create. Include images of the objects you used to inspire your icons. Also include an explanation of the process you used to get from typeface and image to icon, with a discussion of how you were influenced and the resultant manifestation.

EXERCISE TWO: Contemporary Icon(s)

Choose a contemporary typeface, which may be a novelty typeface from dafont.com, to use for inspiration in the creation of contemporary icons. Use industrial and architectural design from this millennium as inspiration as well. Your new icons do not need to be completely cut up from the found typeface, but should be in part.

Start black and white, but we will be moving to color shortly.

Begin a blog post with research for this project, and continue research by adding to this post. Do this by finding images and examples to be used as inspiration.

BLOG POSTS beginning 1/25/10

Beginning 1/25/10, completed Blog Posts are due every Monday.

There should be one post per assigned article.

There should be THREE images per post.

Image One: the image from the text - If no image is provided, search for one that is mentioned or that directly relates to the subject

Images Two and Three: follow a thread based on formal visual responses to the original image or on ideas you get from the original image and its relationship to the subject of the reading

- include date and designer with Each Image

- include a short paragraph explaining the presence of each image on your blog

EXERCISE ONE : ICONOFACE

EXERCISE ONE:

choose from one of the following typefaces:

Helvetica

Peignot

Cooper Black

Egyptian

Bodoni

Baskerville

Garamond

Blackletter

Research the history of the typeface.

Use the alphabet (converted to outlines in Illustrator) to create a group of icons based upon imagery/art from the time period. (cut up and reassemble with the knife tool)

No scale shifts, but the letters/parts can be copied as many times as is necessary.

The entire alphabet should be used, no leftover parts.

(note: this project is based on Ellen Lupton's class project "Helvetica Nation" for Graphic Design II at the Maryland Institute College of Art)

BLOG POSTS

BLOG POSTS-

inspiration sourcebook (EVERYTHING MUST LINK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE)

For each assigned essay you will find an image that relates.

for example, today - two readings

find:

1. Heine's dog and

2. a US military paper bomb

Each of these images will then be followed by a minimum of two more (ex. 2 for Heine, 2 for Paper Bombs)

The two new images will be images that you come across/search for based on thoughts or responses to the reading.

Also each image will be followed by an explanation of how it relates in your mind.

Always include the Artist and the date. If either are unknown then a general description will suffice.
