CC1, Weeks 8 & 9: Independent Study Assignment #2

Your second Independent Study Assignment will take place next week, however you can begin immediately if you prefer. It would be advisable to not wait until that day to begin! NOTE that we do not meet in class during an Independent Study Assignment.

The assignment is to redesign the cover of an existing video game. Your new design must incorporate a montage of figures and heads. For example, here is an existing video game cover...



There are four parts to your 2nd Independent Study Assignment:

1.) a page of rough, exploratory sketching (Goes in the Week 9 Sketchbook dropbox)



2.) a minimum of four thumbnails (Goes in the ISA #2 dropbox)



3.) a full size pencil comp (Goes in the ISA #2 dropbox) NOTE that the design is now a montage of figures and heads.



4.) a jpeg of the actual existing video game box cover (Goes in the ISA #2 dropbox)



You must submit all pages to the correct dropbox(es) PLUS the existing image - four files all together - in jpeg format only - do NOT zip your files

Remember:

* Draw the image area to the correct proportion.

* Draw guidelines for all typographic elements.

* Leave construction lines in place so I can tell you are using the stickman construction method when drawing figures and the proportion method when drawing faces.

Week 13: Exercises and Sketchbook Assignment for those who missed the field trip

Here are some of the paintings we viewed at the AGH. Choose one to sketch from. Use the whole page - include values (shading).

Week 13 Sketchbook Assignment: Visit the AGH website at this link. Redesign the landing page to reflect a more modern, clean design as in these examples and feature one of the paintings above in your redesign.
