Proposal for Project to be discussed in class


You are strongly encouraged to attend Buy Shaver’s Book binding demo Friday

Using only mark and shape (nonrepresentational form) create an accordion book with
imagery that tells a story of or shows transformation. Before you begin choose a formal
theme and do a loose thumbnail drawing of the book. Consider that the layout should be
interesting both page to page and as a whole. Also measure out a folder with a spine for the
book. The cover may remain untouched or 'blank'.

Make a well made 12 x 8.25 mockup of your potential layout considering concepts from the 
in class layout talk. These are not sketches and should be as finished as possible. Use 
markers, pens, or paint. No pencil or colored pencil.

Use grids to line up elements in your designs, it is important that you build visual relationships 
in your page designs. Consider color palette, hierarchy, emphasis, scale as well as all other 
elements and principles of design.

Also bring color palettes for this project to class printed or painted it should be applied to your 
mockup. Please think about color harmonies and contrasts. You may use an online color 
generator website to develop these.

Next class is a work day. Bring everything you need to work in class. Your files need to be at 
the printer by next Thursday at the latest. This means you DO NOT have next weekend to 
work on your project. You need to take photos and use this weekend to do the image 
collecting and building necessary to get to work on Monday.

The projects will be due on April 9th but need to be done by April 5th so that you an get 
them to the printer.

The Milk&Honey ampersand homework will be collected on Monday for a grade. You must 
have twenty sketches & one that is well drawn and highly considered at a larger scale (10x10).
 Make sure you are reviewing the blog before executing the homework.

For Monday finish the facetrace images strted in class.  You can eamil me a .jpg of the finished image or print it in the output center. Illustrator > File > Export as... > .jpg

You also need to bring me a more in depth proposal. This needs to be a physical representation of your thought process so far. It can be hand drawn or painted and does not need to be highly finished but should be well prepared and thought through to this point in the process. It will go up on the wall so it needs to be presentable. It will be graded.

Hmwrk #7 Due 3/12


Paint out a traditional color wheel, give a definition and painted example of each harmony discussed in class. The 7 are listed below.
Tequila sunrise…
On a scrap piece of paper each student will write a phrase no more than a sentence that they feel conveys a set of color relationships within a color harmony of their choice (monochromatic, tetradic, analogous, etc.) They will then put the paper on the teachers desk. Each student will select a sheet of paper and determine a color harmony of their own interpretation based on the reading of this phrase. These will be the colors used in the next Grid and free painting due March 12.

Color Harmonies









Analogous
Complimentary
Split Complimentary
Triadic
Tetradic
Square
Monochromatic
