IMPORTANT: we are NOT meeting in class next week (10/27). we are meeting in the labs at 55 w.13th, in room 402. bring your assignments with you to work on!
for those who haven't yet, please post your pixel font and favorite date poster.
assignment for next week: choose ONE of the following item types, and combining the colors, symbolic images and fonts you collected last week create a new graphic that represents your family.
A. FLAG
C. CREST
D. TAROT CARD
special requirements for each item:
- FLAG - must be a horizontal rectangle; must be simple, bold, geometric and graphic; colors must be high-contrast
- LOGO - must combine your family name with imagery (i.e. be a 'logotype')
- CREST - must have as its unifying element a shield-like shape of your choosing; must contain at least 4 symbols; must contain your family name
- TAROT CARD - must be a vertical rectangle; must have as it's central element a figure (i.e. some sort of representation of YOU) interacting with other symbols; must contain your family name
PLEASE NOTE that if you are doing the FLAG or the LOGO you must create 3 versions of your graphic. if you are doing the CREST or TAROT CARD you only need 1 version.
i advise you to think carefully about which elements to use, and then play a lot with FORM. sketch, google, look in books, whatever it takes to get the symbols to work together in a beautiful, unified, original way.
