Week Twelve to Final Project: Visual Stories

Size/Media:
Color images and typography (photographic prints and/or color laser prints) pasted on single-weight smooth surface illustration board or made into a simple web site.

Objective:
This project will provide a new experience in the construction of meaningful, visual messages (stories) with expression of typographic forms in combination with appropriated images from the environment.

Carefully observe visual scenes around you. In particular, we are interested in typographic scenes that include typographic elements, a scene with a part of an advertisement or a street sign or an object shaped typograhically.Remember that it is your composition that should tell a story.

In the second and third week, we will further examine communicative qualities of image and typography by contrasting the first photographic composition with pure-type composition and type-image composition.

Week 12
Photographic composition: Create a composition consisting of a series of sixphotographs that tells a story. Major components of the composition must be typographic scenes.

Week 13
Pure-type composition: Based on the photographic composition created in the first week, design a composition consisting of a series of five typographic composition that tells the same story with or without use of the same words.

Week 14
Type-image composition: Based on the photographic composition created in the first week, create a composition consisting of a series of five type-image composition that tells the same story.

Present all three as a final project -- 18 images in all.
