GD III for Thursday, August 30

Reminder: We are going on a field trip Thursday to the Museum of Design Atlanta. Register online beforehand:

I will meet you all there at 6:00. The Museum of Design Atlanta is on Peachtree St. across from the High Museum. The Museum recommends that you park at  LAZ Parking at 1337 Peachtree Street. It would be wise if you can get together with your classmates and carpool. If you can't make it right on the dot, just get there as soon as you can. The event lasts from 6-8:00pm.

For Tuesday, Sept.4:
Make several different drawings of your object using tracing paper, pencil, sharpies/black marker. These type of drawings tend to work best if they EVOLVE with each new version. I expect to see at least 10 drawings.

It is OK to open the image in Photoshop, change it to grayscale and try Image>Adjustments>posterize. That MAY help you separate out the light and dark areas, but will most likely not solve all the visual problems that will occur. It is up to you to interpret the object and design a symbol that reads easily.
