For Today:

- P2 Final Presentations
- Studio for 50 thumbnail sketches; Individual consultations for P3 (typed list, image collection, and descriptions), and 12 thumbnail sketches
Due Next Class:
- P3: Phase II (50 thumbnail sketches): Sketch 50 thumbnails (25 for each designer) on 8.5 x 11 paper. Use the proportion of 11 x 17 horizontal or vertical. Explore ways to communicate the designer’s style/movement through the use of your own creation of typography, photography, illustration, or a combination, etc. (see page 73.) Goal: Be able to identify the artist and movement. Let this piece be a document of your research seen through your own eyes.
Note: Include the following information on the poster: The Title: designer’s name, Text: Artist Talk: specific movement from design history, (If more text is needed use your list of 10 elements and write necessary body copy – optional), Location: Bruce Gallery, Edinboro University, Date: November 20th, 2018, Time: 9pm. (for thumbs, big type should be written, but smaller details can be created by drawing lines to designate where type will go)
