Getting Started
Phase 3 Design Development Before moving to this stage, make sure you have:
- Refined your thesis statement
- Collected, organized and written all your content
- Found some excellent examples of professional work that can serve as inspiration and reference
- Developed a few sketches and settled on the one that gives you a clear plan forward and supports your thesis statement
- Experimented with a grid structure
- Started to develop the visual assets (graph, charts, images and photos) that you will need to visualize the piece
- Settled on a typeface that is functional and in style with your piece
Mission
Visually tell a story through researched and fact based information. The following two designs can be presented together in one poster or separately in two:
Project 2: Visual Diagram – a clear, beautiful and stylized visual (photography, or an illustration – digital or hand-drawn) that shows the appearance, structure, or workings of something.
Project 3: FlowChart/Timeline (sequential story) – presenting an information sequence that explains a concept through a series of steps: A. B. C., 1. 2. 3., etc. The steps do not have to be presented sequentially but they need to be read/ understood within the context of each other.
Continue to go back to your thesis statement, all components or your design solution should support your thesis statement, keep revising.
