Homework 04/15/08
Homework: Gather, think up, start to create initial images for book
Really think about what your poem means to you and what it represents. Try to push your ideas for what kind of imagery to use. You don't have to be so literal but it should make sense.

Next week I'll check all Illustrator Lessons!
Check The Schedule.
Also, please check out the post below (Illustrator Type Help), look at the different links for inspiration on how you can display your text. Rewatch the videos we watched in class.

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).

Homework due 04/01/08
Finish Project #2: Triptych (post on blog as well as print out)
Illustrator Lesson 5
Post In Class Assignment: Bird on blog
Bird Assignment: Using the pen tool in Illustrator trace a photographic image of a bird from the web. Think of how you would create an image using only construction paper, you build from backgrond to foreground, adding more and more detail as you go along. Apply this same approach in Illustrator, start with the shape of the background (rectangle, square, circle, etc), fill in the background color, then move on to the outline of the bird, and finally continue to add more and more detail of the bird. Below is a visual of the assignment. The "illustrated" bird is not complete but its close.
Next week in class:
Finish Collaborative Presentations
Hang Project #2 in hallway and critique
Talk about final project
Check The Schedule.
