Waaaay Outside The Box

Let me get your creativity going with several "quick" Typography design problems....

Post images solving each of these tasks to your blog and explain how yours is a good solution....

1. Create an image of type using cast shadows and light....

2. Create an image showing type using distortion in a reflection...

3. Create an image showing type

--> installed as a three dimensional letter form in a space

                       

4. Create an image showing type made out of non-traditional materials

                      

5. Create an image showing type drawn with non traditional tools (sponge, branches, etc.)

Wanna Design a T-Shirt?

Here is the information from Mrs. Rice about the group.....

Your design should reflect these ideas with symbols, shapes, letters, numbers, etc.

She says, "we would like the logo to include the following in some way:

EYW

Empowering Young Woman 

Woodstock Academy

The program is focused on building confidence and connections through experience. We engage in a variety of experiences so that the members are able to be exposed to new and different things. In addition, we have a community service goal as well. we address issues that are facing young women and simply provide a safe and comfortable place for them to grow, learn, share and have fun!"

new test

I was using the "Mosaic" filter to get some of the pixels to seem larger..

Mess With The Web, project

Here is a quick project to challenge you to be creative and take risks with your work....

Create several images to be displayed on you blog- not to be printed..

Make your design respond to these attributes of the web and blogs:

1.  SCROLLING- your work should use the scrolling as an important part of the layout of your image.

2. PIXELS- manipulate the idea that your work is displayed by a collection of DOTS and marks..... what if you enlarged those pixels?

3. CLARITY against things that are HIDDEN... thin about how fog hides information..

4. CHANGE- make your design change as the viewer scrolls through to see it. How can the change help the message of the work come through?


SKILLS to use: 

Work in Photoshop for the best results.... 72 dpi resolution

Work with the "Mosaic" filter to get a pixelated effect..

Another Test

This one is 12" X36"

72 dpi resolution

Uploaded and set to "original size"

let's see how it works......

Mess With The Web

Here's the link @ http://wawacdesign.blogspot.com/2012/03/experiment.html


Create a design that manipulates the scrolling effect of the blog's layout....

Use at least three of the Elements of Design in creating your work....

Also! Manipulate the idea of RESOLUTION and "Clarity" in your work..... think of how fog makes things see to vanish.....

A Quick Design Challenge

Design a logo for the plastics team....

Here's the info for that:

"Our company name is Jupiter Power and we were hoping the logo could include a lightning bolt, the Jupiter planet symbol and our company name. We wanted the lightning bolt to probably be yellow and orange and then have a black background and white letters and symbol. However, it is mainly up to you and your class.

Thank you so much

Mr. Woodstock Ticket Info

Here is the information to have on the "Mr. Woodstock" Ticket design...

Student Council Presents
Mr. Woodstock 2013

Friday, April 5th at 7PM

in the Bates Auditorium

The info MUST BE EASILY READ...!

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!
