Design 1

This is a type collage.

finalization of letter i project

I finished up the letter i project. the final on the no focal point design is done very neatly. The focal point design is a little messy. I really think that the focal point design is a winner. rule of thirds and leading lines. The plaka is tricky the work with. It has to be just the right consistency to flow off the brush. We took our 5X5 designs and blew them up 200 percent with the copier. Next we penciled heavily the back side of the blow up. Next we took the penciled side of the blow up and put it right against the illustration board and went over the other side of the blow up outlining the i's Sort of like home made carbon paper. Then with the light pencil lines on the illustration board, we could see where we needed to ink. After inking the outlines we filled in the i's with plaka (black) and white over where the black went, that should not have.

Project II in design -lower case letter i

OUr next project in design class is to take a lower case letter i and make an original design out of repeating it. I have some ideas going on--did twelve thumbnails.- there is election year--all the little i's following the big i. There is "love" random i's and two kissing. there is the pied piper i's. there is the tick tack toe i's- some need a few revisions. We have to submit two on fancy paper all done to perfection. One should have a focal point and one not--just a pattern. No fancy script or distortions allowed. Must try to incorporate different weighted lines, sizes and proximity.
