Class Canceled

Class canceled.

I'm sitting in my car as I type this and it won't start. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to class this evening as taking the train and bus would have me arriving way late. I'll figure out a way to make up the time to you all. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Final Assignment

Throughout the semester we’ve learned that there are many ways for a digital images to originate. They can come from a digital camera, scans from negatives or old photographs, searching the Internet for images – the possibilities are almost endless! The way digital images can exist is also equally diverse. We’ve made zines, fine prints, and posted our images electronically on the Internet - maybe not in class but you are all on Facebook, right?

For your final project, you will be producing a portfolio of no less than seven finished images. The number of final prints will depend on your choice of final project. You have 480 square inches of paper and ink to make prints for your final. This can be one Large print, or several small prints. It's all up to you. Seven finished image files are due for this project.

Please do not hesitate to ask me about this.

The origin and content of the images is your choice but they MUST be yours, and they must be cohesive.

The remainder of the semester will be open lab with the ability to print at EVERY class meeting.

Think about the ways we have worked and look over the technical assignments. Are there ways of making images that you would like to learn more about? Are there ways of making images that are more enjoyable to you than others?

Our final critique will be during finals week. Your final prints and your files are due in the drop box by the beginning of class.

Write a one paragraph, typed proposal outlining your plans for the final project. This is due at the beginning of class on 11.15.2010.

Zine Zine Zine!!!















Here's the zine template. It uses two 8x10 inch canvasses that will be printed back to back. One canvas contains pages 8, 1, 4, and 5. The other canvas contains pages 2, 7, 6, and 3. On Wednesday the 11th, I'll go over the layout. This new template will allow the zine/book to have 4x5 inch pages and use the same amount of paper as the smaller 2.5x4 inch page version. Bring the content to class and begin laying out your sequence. We'll be printing our zines on Monday!!!
