Letterform
Goal: Explore 2-dimensional form, figure-ground, focal point, and proportion.
Objective: Manipulate one form to create two dynamic shapes
Process: Working within a 6 x 6-inch square, create compositions using a single letterform. Manipulate the forms and counter-form of the letter to create figure-ground compositions that strike a balance between positive and negative shape. Isolate just enough of each letter to hint at its identity. Letterforms can be from any culture.
Icon
Goal: Explore scale, and cultural awareness.
Objective: Combine two forms to create an image with context.
Process: Working within a 6 x 6-inch square, combine a graphic image that represents a specific object with a letter that represents it. Create one cohesive recognizable mark.
Design Influence
Goal: Explore your influences through research. Organize and explore the grid, proportion, and create hierarchy, to provide context.
Objective: Combine multiple forms to provide context.
Research and design a typographic poster that visually represents design that has influenced you.
Process: Where did your design understand come from? Art from home, games, or music? Research, write, and report on something that has influenced your design philosophy. Use a grid to integrate proportion, use hierarchy and color to reinforce context. Apply principles in a step-by-step process to explore a design methodology.
Motion
Goal: Synthesis of multiple elements over multiple pages.
Objective: Showing your process and conclusions. Combine everything that you have created this semester from sketches to final projects to document your semester.
Process: Create a grid and organize content. Display the semester process from sketch to finished project for each assignment.
