Posting the Modulated Paper design project....

Post your design as a flat pattern and take a photo of the folded design....

Show how your design enhances, or hides the folding...

Write answers to these questions too:

• How did you use the elements of Art (line, color, pattern, visual texture, shapes, values) to enhance or hide the folding?

• What is your audience supposed to think of the design? What "clues" have you give them to make them think that?

Good work!

Juxtapose With Photoshop

Here's a quick, yet interesting design challenge:

Combine two images using Photoshop to create a dynamic visual effect (exciting, calm, etc.)

Use these Photoshop tools:

Rectangular selection tool (marque tool)
Select by color range, or with the magic wand...
Adjustment Layers
Layer Masks
Import  Illustrator files into Photoshop to select..

Use these Design Skills


Visual impact of juxtaposing images- making it exciting, boring or other…

Shape of the image “slices”
Frequency of the slices
Contrast – value and color changes

Use these keyboard shortcuts:

Shift to drag in alignment
option- click and drag to duplicate

Use these "Guiding Questions"...

1. How can I use COLOR and VALUE to create an emotional reaction in my audience?


2. What selection SHAPES will best relate to, or react with the image I chose?


3. How can I have a FOCAL POINT in all this visual craziness?
