2/4 Homework
2/4 Homework
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.
1. Take notes on the 4 elements of good design as described by the speaker.
2. In your sketchbook draw 6 rectangles at 1"x 1 1/2"
3. Look at the DVC website to find clues concerning how you would design a flag for the college. Look at design, think about the naturally occurring landscape and the school mascot as possible elements in your design.
4. In each rectangle design a different flag. (Use pencil only)
5. Next Saturday I will review them with you, we will pick the best one and create it in Illustrator.
