9/26/07 Graphic Design 2

I am really thrilled about your roughs for your typographic self-portraits. For the most part, they are better than I imagined. Good work!

The discussion on poster design was kind of quick, but I think we covered the relevant points. Take some time this weekend and do some searches for posters online. Not kitties and puppies and stuff, but actual posters that promote. Music/band gig posters are everywhere. Movie posters intrigue me as well. One of my favorite sites for posters is http://www.theheadsofstate.com Print some examples and bring them in to discuss.

For Monday, be sure to have a tight rough of your portrait. I will hand out a brief for the Messiah poster and we can spend a little time discussing artwork and copyright issues.

Please respond to the Uncommon Genius questions before the start of class next Wednesday, Oct. 3.
