GD IV, V and VI for Thursday, Sept. 20

EVERYBODY:
We will be having a hand-rendered type workshop during normal class time [2-4:45]. Bring in a variety of different drawing materials and papers. This means just about anything such as charcoal, black ink, sharpies of different sizes, different things to write with like sticks (yes, I said sticks), brushes (both pointed and chisel edge), etc. etc. Bring in smooth and rough papers. Be resourceful.

ALSO:
GD IV: Branding
minimum of 10 b & w sketches for your customized restaurant logo
yes I will be counting.

GD V: Magazine project
Bring in your examples of good magazines that we talked about a couple of weeks ago.
Also bring in tracing paper, triangle, white artist tape, pencil, kneaded eraser so we can go over the process for analyzing an existing grid.

GD VI:
Dustin: ideas developed for all 3 book covers, hand sketched type ideas for each book cover on tracing paper [minimum 3 each title], create your backgrounds by hand (not found on computer.) In general, your work process needs to move away from the computer.

Jaime: I would like to see you join the GD V class in developing your magazine masthead using the same process they are. Just pretend like you're in that class for right now. Print out your magazine title large on a single horizontal piece of paper (one word per page) in a minimum of 10 different typefaces. Spread them out and look at them. As soon as we establish the right "feel" I want you to draw out some ideas for customizing the type. Ask Casey, Kaley, Leah or Jessica for more information.

Ashley: developed concepts for all 3 book covers sketched out onto tracing paper, ideas for customized type treatment for each title sketched out on tracing paper in pencil.

Amanda: As we talked about, I think it would be great for you to develop three hand-bound "artists books" on a topic such as a poet. Think about that some more and send me an email or we can talk in more detail during class.

After our regular class period:
Cassie would like to review your work so far to get to know you and to offer her perspectives. Bring in all the work you showed me at the beginning of the semester + everything you've done up until now. We will have a critique starting around 5:15-5:30 and will overlap the GD III class. They will be invited to sit it on the critique.
