Project Guidelines: Create visual comparisons between organic / man-

made forms and letterforms found in the physical environment using emphasis, extension and pattern. Consider how

framing and cropping, both in the camera viewfinder and later on screen, can

create visual meaning and unexpected compositional solutions.

comparisonstype & image

To get the ball rolling on this very first project, I was assigned to search through Google Maps to find images of text. This is what I came up with:

MMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM M

MMMMM

M M M MM M M M

M M M M M M

M M MM M M M

M M M

M M

To me, the emphasis and extensing were easier than the patterns. It required a lot more thought of form and composition. In the end I am very happy with the final product. I am also proud of the title. I thought it was a clever pun on this whole project. “Billy Kushner’s Search Of Character”

Top row goes: Organic Pattern > Organic Extension > Organic Emphasis. Bottom row goes:Man Made Pattern > Man Made Extension > Man Made Emphais.

After I picked the images the best suit this project it was time to put the images with it’s proper text.

After that process, I was then out and about to take my images. A total of 200 to be exact. After the adventure, I uploaded all 200 images. In the end 6 remained.

Project Guidelines: Design nine album covers for distinctly different

genres of music.

- Album Name: Last four words

of the last quote on http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php

- Album Artwork: First image on http://www.flickr.com/explore/

interesting/7days

Create visual meaning between these three seemingly unrelated

messages and, using the type and images randomly assigned, visually communicate the genre of music.

Consider how formal decisions affect the reading of the linguistic message,

the coded iconic message and the non-coded iconic message. 2

coversalbum

In this second project, there was a lot of information researched and a lot of stuff given to me, to use. First I went and got the info neccissary to begin the process.

The albums I recieved at random. So here they are, listed Artist, Album Title:

1. Butcher Block, People Who Annoy Me2. Long Loch One Design, The Way They Are3. 32 Leaves, Entirely Too Time Consuming

When all was said and done, these were the ones I decided on to use as the final images:

Butcher Block: Electronic > Singer Song Writer > R&B Long Loch One Design: Alternative > Indie > Rock32 Leaves: Pop > R&B > Jazz

Ok, just to recap... The images all came from flickr.com, the concept was what this project seemed to be about. We had to protray a certain genre of music just throught type and image. I had to learn about Lingustic and Coded Iconic Message along with Anchorage and Relay. With that in mind I started to create my album covers.

After a few test runs of incorporating the text into the images, and finding out which text worked well with what image; I got a better idea on how to put together a successfull album cover using type and image.

Project Guidelines: Create a two spread layout for a magazine

and the magazine’s audience 311

spreadmagazine

This project is as labeled, a magazine spread. At first I was like “COOL! This is gonna be cake!”.... Well I was wrong. To me this was one of the most challenging projects. That be-ing said, I chose to create a spread for a how to magazine and I chose “How To Wrestle Like a Pro”

At the in progress critic for this project, I received a lot of critisism. One of the major things I took into account was that someone had said “if you want to illustrate it, try not to make it look realistic.” So I went with this idea. I started-brain storming and finally came up with an idea of illustrat-ed wrestlers, just wresling on the page...

By the way, I completely Re-do everything for this project, right about

After struggling with my idea for a while, I decided just to hit the computer and just start going at it. I came straight out with three ideas in which I really liked the first. These were just cover sreads, no content just yet.

To start this project off I conducted some research on successful posters. Once I got an idea, we took a trip to the actual planetarium. Then a lot of my ideas were shut out... So I decided to take a very minimal

Once I went back to the drawing board and came up with a great idea. I took all the critiques and used them to come up with a final poster series. I made it look like out doors but the people in it gives it the illusion of an interior. I really enjoyed this project. It really challenged me and I was really pleased with the final outcome.

So I was pretty happy with these ideas and then came the in progress critic. At the critic I recieved quite a few comments. You know the typical “if you did this, it could look a bit better” or “what do you think would happen if you put this here?” or even “I like what going on here, what do you think of using more of that?” At this point I refered back to the pictures I took during our visit.
