Problem: Using your abstract black and white illustration of interrelated shapes as a template create 4 new illustrations: process color, spot color, gradient and pattern.
Limits: Each illustration should demonstrate a specific color relationship: Split-Complementary, Analogous, Triad and Monochromatic.
- Research / Inspiration
- Look for examples of interesting color relationships in art, design, nature or everyday objects
- Document these observations in your sketchbook
- Experimentation / Iteration
- In illustrator create a color wheel and experiment with several different variations of each color relationship (Split-Complementary, Analogous, Triad and Monochromatic.).
- Choose those that are most successful and complement your shape relations illustration.
- Development of Skill and Craft
- Refer to Week 05 Lecture.
- Expression of Form, Emotions, Concepts, and Voice
- Your illustration, while limited to by the constraints of the project, should express your unique voice or graphic style using basic design principles.
- Show a connection between the original research and the final illustration
- Thoughtful Assessment (Critique or Written)
- Bring all assignment parts to class.
- Be prepared to present, discuss and analyze your finished work in terms of concept, craft, and what you learned.
- State the following: your name, what you are presenting (title and design problem), which parts are successful and why, which parts are unsuccessful and why.
- Work Hour Tally
- In the info section of your file, define the hours committed for each portion of the assignment, including dates and times.
- Submission
- Your illustration is due in the DropBox at the beginning of the next class meeting.
- Label your files with your name and the title.
