Homework, Notes 11/10/09

IMPORTANT: i forgot to mention in class- please read pp.62-79 and pp.112-129 in thinking with type. they are, respectively, the first parts of the TEXT and GRID sections.

also, please post your final symbol items here- both yours and your client's.


so we are starting a new assignment: music album special packaging. this will be our last big assignment. you will be creating EITHER a book or a website.

the first part will involve collecting content. so... choose an album by an artist that you relate to, or think would be an interesting design challenge. then:
  1. collect ALL the song lyrics for this album. they will be the 'body' text of your piece.
  2. collect/create 12 pieces of ORIGINAL artwork. they can be:
  • photos you take
  • illustrations you make
  • photos or illustrations by friends/colleagues who are willing to participate
  • graphics/typographics; in the case of this choice, you must collect 12 examples of found inspiration and an create an original poster that illustrates how you plan to use this found material
you may present the above digitally or printed. also, please bring a sample track via MP3 of your album for us to listen to.
