ASSIGNMENT TWO
TODAY...
Step 1:
Go get a copy of today’s [or tomorrow’s] Des Moines Register.
Step 2:
You will use this as the source material for a print entitled “Today”. For this you can use anything you find in the newspaper: images, text, ads, everything, but this is your only material. No outside images or text may be used. You will scan in components and utilize them to produce your design. You may resize, change brightness contract, shift from color to B+W, alter opacity, delete parts and recombine, but you cannot use filters or effects. Your job is to produce a visual record of today. Think about what you choose to record [what is not written is lost much like Leonard in “Memento”] and how you relate different elements and ideas even though they may have nothing to do with each other. Consider visual hierarchies and organizations: up/down, left/right, in depth, scale, differences in legibility and readability. The communication of the print should be found equally in what you select to use and the manner in which it is handled. Source and design must work together to produce a message. What do you want to say about today?
Due Date:
This project will be due on Tuesday, January 30.
