Find three examples of graphic design that inspire you. These can come from anywhere: Magazines, packaging, stickers, newspapers, shoeboxes, ANYTHING. I don't care where you find it, if it inspires you, bring all three examples to class with you on 8/30/10. Now, don't STEAL anything to accomplish this. :) You'll be surprised what you can find in your own house! Be prepared to tell the class WHY it inspires you and what you like (or dislike) about it.
Second part:
Our first official project will be: Creating a collage representation of yourself. So what I want you to do is to be thinking of some images that might be used to describe you. Now, for the homework part: Bring 6-10 (or more, if you want) images with you to class. They can be prints or digital files. If you bring in prints, or other hard copy, we will go over how to scan them in class. You can also bring in digital files from your digital camera, images you have found on the web or any combination. These can be pictures of money, ducks, cars, cereal boxes, houses, or electric train sets, etc. If you think it represents you in some way, BRING IT TO CLASS! You will be graded on fullfilling these requirements! If you bring less than 6 images, your grade will suffer. If you bring more than 10, you're a brown-noser. : )
Here's the catch: At least ONE of these images HAS to be a photograph of YOU at some point in your life. I would encourage more than one, but that's up to you.
That's it! So bring your graphic design inspiration pieces and collage images with you to class on Monday and be ready to rock out with Photoshop!
