SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT:
5 versions of each of the 6 girds discussed in class = 30 total grids
These need to be completed on 8.5x11 format / printed in black and white and stapled into your sketchbook. The grids need to be visible so please trace over them in line format 1 pt. stroke in InDesign. When you make a modular grid and or hierachial grid please use the box format and not the line.
These grids need to be based on some sort of inspired object to see some standard on the grid (ex. my modules on this modular grid were established by the size of a quarter.) Each grid needs to be labeled with what its source of inspiration harkens back to. If you have a photo or something specific that this grid subscribes to that can be placed in the sketchbook please paste it in.
Also be sure to start collecting / researching literary magazines. Please have examples of these ready / pasted into sketchbook or citable in class. These collections can also be sketches of layout that you find interesting in them. If you are running dry on places to look check out AIGA's website. Start thinking about what you could accomplish with the Torch. Old editions are available in the resource room in the art department. Remember those old editions are not pretty...your job is to make the text and image sing. Start thinking about what kind of layout / grid might be able to best accomplish that marriage.
