ADVANCED GRAPHICS FINAL:
ADVANCED GRAPHICS FINAL:
UWF Department of Art presents:
mixed tapes from the student collection
Your final poster design for the semester must use either a photograph taken by you or a classmate from inside the art department OR an illustration you have created yourself. The only found image or stock photo you may use is of an actual Compact Cassette Tape, there can be no other elements borrowed in or for the photograph.
This final poster will use Lucien Bernhard's Sachplakat strategy (the strategy, not the illustration style) to advertise a collection of mixed tapes created by UWF art and design students from the 1970's to now.
There can be no text other than:
UWF Department of Art presents:
mixed tapes from the student collection
(unless text appears hand written on the actual cassette, anything goes there... but one or a combination of the following is recommended:
Sculpture Mix, Photography Mix, Graphic Design Mix, Painting Mix, Drawing Mix, Digital Media Mix, Ceramics Mix, Printmaking Mix, Art History Mix)
UWF DOA Identity restrictions:
"UWF Department of Art" must appear in VAG Rounded BT (attached)
There are no color restrictions on the logo, nor does the name of the department have to appear inside the drips.
Size may be 11 x 17, 12 x 18, 13 x 19 OR 22 x 34. This poster must be posted to the wall by Wednesday, December 7th for our Final Critique during regular class time. Feedback from a classmate AND either myself or second classmate must be a part of the process before making your final edits and corrections. Suggestions, ideas, and corrections must be posted to the blog by the final critique.
