GD III for Thursday, October 25

Thursday will be a work day so continue working on re-design of your magazine cover + 3 spreads of an article about an artist. Yes, you may change your subject, but if you make this decision, you must also invest the time in solid research. 

Don't forget the websites available to you with usable images that Gwen of the Visual Resources library told you about earlier in the semester. The info is in an early posting on this blog for your reference. Do not waste your time or mine on images dragged off of the internet unless they have the proper size and dpi to help you towards your final goal of a printed piece. Going to the library and finding books with images you can scan is another great resource and worth the time as you have control over the scan. Finding usable images is YOUR responsibility and a big part of problem-solving this assignment.

On Thursday, I hope you will all take the opportunity to get extra credit to improve your grade by attending the event at Museum of Design Atlanta. Check earlier blog posting. I'm not positive I will be able to make it, but I'm going to try. Regardless, you must provide me with hard copy proof that you were there to get the extra credit. This means a ticket, a printed out photo of you there (there must be identifying things in the photo) or another artifact that proves it.

Due at the beginning of class on Tuesday: 
• Minimum of three versions of a cover idea, printed out at full size and trimmed down
• An entire article designed: three spreads/six pages, printed out at full size and trimmed down

There will be a class critique. We will not consider any work that is not properly printed out, trimmed down, and hung promptly at the beginning of class. Meet in Room 225 (critique room on second floor.)
