Here you can download the new assignment for PlayLab:
GRAPHIC DESIGN AND THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Please read this carefully and dont start too late!

HOMEWORK for the 20th of April

PART ONE.
Make collages that visualize sound
A. Collect 150 images that tell different meanings of the topic of sound. Try to find as many possible and different interpretations and visualizations of the topic. Print out the pictures black and white. (Print 6 images on an A4 sheet and cut them out, hang the pictures on the wall). 


B. Based on the photo collection above, make a minimum of three A3 (photoshop or lowtech) collages and try to visualize sound. Shapes, colors, ideas and meanings are being combined in an intuitive/improvised way. The collages could reveal ideas that would otherwise remain hidden.


C. To each collage write a short conclusion, or statement. To what unexpected results did you come? The collages will be used as the starting point for further research and to develop your visual essay.  


PART TWO.
Start visual essay (immediately after kickoff)
- the visual essay presents your ideas on sound and design and argues your statement about this clear and convincing. Your essay shows how you come to your concept, why you make certain choices, and how this concept is translated in to the visual proposal.
