GD III for Tuesday, Sept. 11

OMG, please forgive the delay in this posting. I did it in my mind, but just realized, not in reality....I hate when that happens!

Due at the beginning of class on Tuesday:

COMPLETED Illustrator rendering of your object. Be sure you have gotten rid of the "lumpies." The best results are gotten with the LEAST number of anchor points.

Ongoing: continue research into information and images on your everyday object.

As I mentioned to you, our ultimate goal is for you to design an accordion-fold book about your object. What we are doing now is methodically developing visual elements that you will draw from in developing that design.

Elements:
• high contrast symbol of object
• patterns using symbols
• hand-rendered/experimental type
• research into information on the history of 5-7 "stages" of the development of your everyday object
• gathering of TONS of good quality, useable images that fit into the above 5-7 stages categories (remember Gwen came to class to talk about researching images? and that there was a handout? and that it is also posted on this blog?)

During class on Tuesday, we will work on developing a number of different patterns with your symbols. This will become "wallpaper" to use in various instances in your book.

BTW: this project came about with the idea of incorporating a number of different suggestions you gave me on the second day of class about things you wanted to cover in projects this semester.....
