Homework Due 04/08/08

Finish Critiquing classmates' images of Project 2 on blog by Friday.
Post poem for final project on blog.
Think of design/concept.
Do Illustrator Lesson 7.

Next week:
Finish Collaborative Presentations (if projector is working)
Lecture about artists books/typography/combining text with images/using text in Illustrator.


The Final Project using Illustrator & Photoshop:
“Book: Poem Visualization"

We'll be looking at different forms of the "artist's book". This will include older and contemporary works that show a range of interpretation and different possibilities to explore. Consider these concepts as a point of departure. The completed project will be a book (either handmade or digitally presented) which is based on a poem of your choice. You'll consider the use of typography and text as critical visual components and create visual imagery which enhances and interprets the poem and the presentation of the poem. The concept and design of the book (it's form and structure) should directly relate to your 'interpretation' of the poem. This does not have to be in a traditional book format. You should think 'outside the "book"'!

Guidelines: incorporate both Illustrator or Photoshop.
have at least 8 images (including front and back covers).


Click here to see an artist book by Ruth Laxson. Great use of type as an expressive element.
