Assignment I & II

Assignment I

Yep, its Find Design again, just to get us started thinking again.

Even if you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that your know how to do this click HERE and review how to do it.

As you are all experienced and experts at this, in addition to just doing the tracing, on a separate sheet of paper you need to explain what and how design principles and elements, gestalt principles, and how it move and directs you through the piece. See the 'Standing Assignments' link, over there >>>>

This will also count as one of your Descriptive Essay projects.

Once you are done Take a picture, scan, etc. (your phone will work fine for the tracing). The essay portion can be included in the post or you may email it. (If you choose to email it please make the subject fit... Find Design Essay, not Hi or something like that).

Dead Line: Tuesday, Aug 27th  (I will leave the time open, just get it to me before Wed.)

Assignment II: Logo ReDesign

Lets have some fun with this while we get our brain back into it. 

CLICK HERE for the Logo!

Yes, I know. This is ABSOLUTE HARISY! 

(I can hear a distant mob forming chanting WITCH! BURN HIM! BURN HIM!)

What the He%#! Lets do it anyway!

How many of you thought 'this isn't a logo' when you saw it? Pat your self on the back and when you figure out what it is email me your answer, when you figure it out. (Yes, its a grade too) BUT we are going to make one by incorporating his Initials 'BM" (Yes, I am sick). The Logo and whatever that thing is up there should stand alone or in some way physically connect to each other. 

You may go for a completely new look, or just tweak it a bit, its up to you. It does need to still be recognizable as who/what it is. At a glance it should still communicate the idea and who/what it.

Deadline: Thursday, Aug. 29 beginning of class. 

Just the logo, digital print if possible, digital if printing is not possible, if neither of these are possible for you right now a very well rendered analog image will do. 

               

Note about the studio situation and Adobe Creative Cloud:

Good News First: Its FREE for the first month, and only $18 for students after that.

Supposedly the studio will be up and running by monday. Even if it is, only about half of our computers are working. That hasn't changed since last year. We also have no student workers again. In a month or so I would expect that many of the ones that are working will not be.

On top of that, over the summer someone decide to steal from our studio. I expect we will have very few hours outside of class times that the studios will be open. If you read the syllabus, you will notice that 'Adobe Creative Cloud subscription' has been added. (While it is on the required materials list, if you don't have a computer that will run it this does not apply to you, contact me and we will work something out.) 

If you are unsure about if your computer will run it call them and ask. It gives you ALL of the Adobe software we have on our machines, but the current versions. If you call them do specify that you will mainly be using Illustrator, Indesign, and Photoshop, (Possibly Lightroom if your in or have taken photography)

Final Note: 

Remember our next and first meeting will be next Thursday, August 29th (don't forget to bring your logo & the other thing).
