Step 1.
Begin by doing some rough exploratory sketching (as we did in class when you were redesigning Valentine's cards) to familiarize yourself with the visual and typographic assets you may be using in your candy package redesign. Here's an example of a well done rough work sketchbook page. This was done by a Semester 1 student last year.
(Note how the whole page is filled with both picture and type sketching, exploring many different elements of the potential design. This page received full marks.)This stage constitutes your sketchbook assignment for Week 4. Rough sketching should done in your sketchbook, scanned or photographed and saved as a jpeg and then uploaded to the Week Four Sketchbook drop box.
Step 2.
As we practiced in class, prepare a page in your sketchbook with the usual 1" border and your name between guidelines in the lower right corner.
Subdivide the page into four quadrants with an approx. 1/4" gutter (a double line) between the quadrants. Sketch four unique designs - one in each quadrant. Again, here's an example of some well done thumbnail sketches from the last group of students...
Step 3.
Prepare another page as usual with a 1" border and your name between guidelines in the lower right corner.
Choose what you feel is your strongest thumbnail design and create a full size pencil comp on this page. See the rubric in the ISA #1 dropbox to review my expectations for full marks. When done, take a picture or scan this page, save as a jpeg and upload it into the ISA #1 drop box.
Here's an example of a well done pencil comp from the last group of Semester 1 students...
All three pages must be in the correct drop boxes by the start of our usual class time during Week Four. You have one additional week to hand the assignment in late - at an automatic penalty of 20%.
