Design! Design! Design! Design!
It’s been a surreal couple of weeks, and we need to get back on track. So no written assignments this week. But that does not mean you can take it easy for the next few days. If anything, you probably have more work to do this week than any previous week.
I would like to see a ROUGH draft of your finished project from every group by the end of class next week. For most of you that will probably still be quite a bit of work, and a lot of coordination.
Here are some objectives to aim for:
1. A working title.
2. A complete sketch of your layout. (It can be composed largely of dummy text and sketches, but it should be a rough design for the entire publication. If you are planning for 32 pages, it should be 32 pages.)
3. At least half of your art. (If you are planning on using photos, you should have a good number of them shot by next week. If you are using illustrations, break out the Wacom! It would be ideal to start working these into the layout.
4. All of your copy. (However much text there will be, make sure you get it down. I want to read over it, and offer suggestions. If nothing else, I promise you that there will be typos and grammar errors.)
5. A revised brief, outlining idea, dimensions, budget, and company you will use for printing. (You do not need to submit this – not yet at least – but make sure you have a document circulating within your group, so you are all on the same page.)
Be ready to address all of these points in class next week.
