Si Scott is an amazing designer who incorporates elegant, fine lines into beautiful curvatures. His color palette only circulates around black, white and the grays, a symphony created with the splashing of the lines. It is absolutely stunning to see how the monochromatic gray scale can be played in such a dynamic way.

People consider Jonathan Calugi's works to be more of a feminine style. I see his works as inclusive because they are able to embrace a large realm of audience. One has to go under a chain of serious practices before he reaches the simplest geometric adornment. That is why difference exists between the cuteness created by a children and that of a designer.

Notes & Assignments 4/31/09

hi all- sorry for the late assignment post!

as gone over in class, this week each of you will be choosing 2 other group's festivals and creating a single small collatoral piece for EACH group. anotherwords, each person must bring in a total of 2 pieces.

you may choose from the postcard, t-shirt, CD sleeve + CD, or you may do a 16x10 poster. each item MUST have the festival name/identity, its dates & location, and line-up. you may use other info, such as song lyrics, if you like. make sure to collect the proper typefaces & imagery from each group you choose.

good luck.

Notes & Assignments 4/23/09

hi all

we are making great progress, which i hope you all see.

in one common area i see trouble for a few groups: that of typeface choice and treatment.

the purposes of the first few homework assignments in this project were to make those decisions early on so that they wouldn't hold you back when it came to developing your grid and hierarchy systems. i have confidence that each of you is able to see why some type choices (which font, which size, letterspacing, position, etc.) work and some don't. to further aid in those decisions you have nearly unlimited references at your disposal. use them, and work TOGETHER to make the decisions!

before next class i need to see some evidence of progress in this area from the yatta! and fantasy horizon groups. post stuff here.

aside from that, your assignment this week is simply to revise your small and large collateral pieces.
