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. 

Be aware of this tight schedule, you can't afford to miss and or skip class!

Urban Shelter

Definitieve ontwerp

De vormen en tekst staan nu vast. Het beeld kan alle kanten op gedraaid worden in de poster, maar de witte driehoek komt altijd recht in beeld. Zie de proefjes die we vorige week hebben uitgevoerd. De posters hebben voorlopig 2 formaten: A3 en A2. Morgen even met Harmen overleggen hoe het zit met de kleurlagen.

This is a new idea based on the first idea of co-existing in the city....

So I am still going to make a stop motion, the story, the Type I made is looking for the perfect place to hang....What is a good place for Graphic design in Public space? And the journey to it...The whole storyboard and story still need to be made and better thought of...

It is a way to find the balance in the city, there is so much graphic design how do we seperate one from another, or do we need to??

So for the Type trevellign through the city I wanted to make my own. The idea is based on photo's I made in the city of different logo's, posters, texts etc. I used this type to make my own....Layers build up from different type in the city.

The photo's made on the street, and the Type I used.
All the fonts I use for my font....
The final result...
