2/25 Homework

Homework
1. In your sketchbook, neatly draw an infographic that describes how to make something. Try to not use any words, no ink, pencil only. We will work on them in class next Saturday. I suggest going on line and collecting source images that can be brought into Illustrator. As you build your graphic, think about composition and how your eye moves around the page. Information can be organized to help tell your story.

Nice job working on text today everyone. 
Here is the homework
1. In the Text book please read: 51-62 We will talk about it on Saturday.
2. Look at the logos of small businesses in the city were you live, when you find one that is really in need of some help, take a picture of it.
3. In your sketchbook draw 6 rectangles at 1"x 1 1/2". In each box draw an object that could be associated with the business you have chosen. Keep the drawings simple, even if you are not used to drawing, the important part is that you start building up your visual memory. 
(Example: For a hamburger stand, could draw a simple cow.) 
4. Next week in class we will redesign the logos you have chosen.
