Due next week: March 18th

as discussed in class , see below for what's due next week:

LOGO: make small revisions / variations based on today's critique and the selected direction

INSTALLATIONS: continue refining your installations. Just wrote for permissions, so aim at having it done and in full glory by week 10 (expected week of install)
— document your piece as you test it, these images will be content for the book / website


ALTERNATE MEDIA PIECE: keep working on it: bring in a full representation of the concept in this new media. So for eg: iphone app, bring in a 'storyboard' that outlines the usage process, what happens when (aka: sequential design)

WEBSITE: www.indexhibit.org: get familiar with it. Use Dreamhost as host, they are great & friendly. The website's purpose is to showcase the project as a whole, a sort of documentation / representation of the project's concept and execution. Inlcude all media: installation pics, installation media (eg: video), alternate media (iphone app, online video, etc), book pics —once it's done and bound— & process: how you got there


BOOK:
—chose one format
— 5 spreads studying this one format's structure (aka: grid) through body copy, folios and chapter heds (3 main typologies)
— grid: system of information & sequence: main components: margin size, gutters, number of columns, number of rows
—body copy: place body copy on grid variations with other 2 typologies / one typeface and point size per design (egL: one layout is 4 columns, even margins, set in times 9/12——the other 5 columns, wider margins on top & bottom, set in helvtica 8/11 etc)

any questions welcome
look forward to your beautiful work next week!
