hello, world!
new project: Design w/a Cause.
Description:
Find a non-profit organization, or cause, to develop a poster, or series of posters for… Initially you will create a list of words that best describe what the organization or cause is about. Looking carefully at your list of words, select 3-5 that you feel have strong connotations.
Assignment:
Create a design using imagery based on the connotation of the word or words that relate to the essence of your cause. Your final layout will be suggested 16x20 poster and should include a possible headline and a logotype for your non-profit organization.
This project will require an extensive exploration of thumbnail indications.
· A minimum of 100 hand developed thumbnails (due this week)
· 6 hand developed rough sketches
· 3 semi-tight indications
· Final layout

Sometimes I miss school. I used to love design projects like this. Allows you to be so creative with no boundaries. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
When I think of the 1950's, I always think of little girls with blonde bob haircuts and one side is always pinned back with a bow. They always have short dresses with short, puffy sleeves, black mary janes, and white bobby socks with lace on the folded over part. They're usually raising their hand or standing at a blackboard writing a sentence or a math problem. If that helps at all-it's just what I always picture in my mind. Can't wait to see what you have. Sounds kind of fun!
