STA 113:009
Work Days: Today (4/23), Mon (4/27), Wed (4/29)
Project Due: During our Finals Week meeting, Friday, May 8, 10 AM
Objective:
To combine what we have learned about the Basic Design Elements and apply it to an existing design via paint, collage and drawing.
Process:
You will re-design 5 existing pages of a magazine. The existing layout can include any combination of text and image.
Please make photocopies (black & white) of the pages before you begin- this is for my reference while grading.
One recognizable element of the existing magazine page must remain.
These are the requirements of what needs to be altered between your 5 pages. You may mix and match methods within a single page.
Create deeper space in two places using 2 of these methods:
- overlap
- 1 or 2 point perspective
- atmospheric perspective
- size change
Change or add a color scheme in 2 places using 2 of these schemes:
- monochromatic
- complementary
- warm to cool or cool to warm
- analogous
Change the visual balance of the page 4 times, using any of the following:
- value
- size
- shape character
- lines to direct the viewer
- visual weight
Mount the finished pages cleanly onto Brisol board with a 1 in. border around the image. If needed, weight your page and Bristol under books to get a flat surface.
On the back, please write a few sentences describing what elements have been changed and how, referring to the list of requirements. Please be sure to turn in the photocopies of your page with your project.
Grading:
Each page will be worth 25 points, for a total of 125 points. I will look at:
Effort
Successful alteration and understanding of concepts
Craftsmanship
Creativity
