Project - 3

You will design a book jacket for your assigned book. You should have already read the assigned book, but if not, you are encouraged to re-read it to refresh your memory. Due next class Mar. 5 (bring them to our one-on-one meeting): front covers (not the spine, not the back) done by each of the following approaches:
  • (#1) 1 design using paragraphs, sentences, phrases;
  • (#2) 1 design using individual words
  • (#3) 1 design using syllables
  • (#4) 1 design using individual letters
No imagery. Only type. You may use color. You may 'photograph' type, as you did with Project 1. You may experiment with the type, distort it, morph it; but stay true to interpreting the book. Consider metaphorical implications for the final design (number 4 above). Work in the same size format as your book, at 100% its size. Rough sketches can be done on the computer, collaged with type, or through pen / pencil / paper.

Go beyond over-literal or pre-ordained solutions. Be original. Bring this work to your Mar. 5 one-on-one meeting:
  • 12.30 - Samir;
  • 1.00 - Ellen;
  • 1.30 - Chris;
  • 2.00 - Nikita;
  • 2.30 - Brandon
