Description - Part 1/ Contrast and Juxtaposition:
Using your photographs and found magazine imagery (scanned), you will be creating unique visual "pairings". Parings should be based on formal relationships (between shape, color, value, texture, etc). Feel free to rotate, crop and/or scale your images during your discovery process.
Explore ways in which your found visual pairs begin to tell a specific story or narrative. Convert all images to black and white (adjust levels and contrast accordingly). Select 5 of your best visual "pairs" to layout on five 11x17 sheets of paper. Each visual pair must be consistent in size and proportion.
Placement of image pairs on a single page spread should be symmetrical, however placement of images from spread to spread can be different.
Description - Part 2/ Crafting the Story:
Using InDesign or Illustrator, you must layout your five visual pairs into a 12 page booklet. Page size should be 8.5"x11" (portrait/vertical or landscape/horizontal in orientation)
Page 1 (front cover) should include at least a title and your name.
Page 2-3 include your first visual "pair"
Page 4-5 include your second visual "pair"
Page 6-7 include your third visual "pair"
Page 8-9 include your fourth visual "pair"
Page 10-11 include your fifth visual "pair"
Page 12 (blank), 13 include citation of all found print media originate imager via MLA format
Page 14 (back cover) should be blank.
Project Outcomes:
+ Demonstrate technology best practices in regards to image preparation, modification and integration
+ Demonstrate the process of gathering, selecting, and implementing imagery in support of visual communication
Specifications:
+ Use Photoshop to prep and manipulate images (size, resolution, bw conversion, contrast improvements)
+ Use Illustrator or InDesign for layout of Visual Pair Booklet
+ Imagery should consist of your own photographs and/or found magazine scans (no images found online)
Deadlines:
Phase 1: Print out of top 5 visual pairs on separate 11x17 paper due Tuesday Sept 9, 8:30am.
