Self Design Project 1
This project should utilize two computer applications and a handmade aspect. The point of this project is to create a piece that relies on both handmade and computer based aspects.
Assignment: Create an advertisement for a fictitious (or real) product or event ( you must have the rights to use/represent the product or event (unless your family owns Coca Cola...this would not be an option). Consider what is the pertinent information that must be conveyed; e.i. when, where, how much does it cost. Question to consider: think about how you convey this information, and what that says about the product or event--like the saying, "it's not just what you say, but how you say it that counts."
What form should the advertisement take? It could be a digital image, a printed image (both), a limited or one-of-kind poster...
Questions to answer and return to me via email before next class:
What is the product or event that you are going to advertise for? (a Halloween party at Laural Hill Cemetery on Saturday October 31 (fantasy party))
Give a brief description of your concept for your Advertisement? (I will go to Laural Hill Cemetery and take pictures of zombies chasing innocent youths (all costumed friends) and combine images into one background image using photoshop. End result will look like a "B" Horror Movie Poster.)
How will you execute the project? (I will start with my photo shoot at the cemetery. Then i will use photoshop to create background for poster. Then i will print image and glue text on it for my party event information. This should have a ransom note look to it. Then I will splatter additional fake blood onto the surface of the poster. Then I will take a close-up digital photo of this, so i can enlarge and make reproductions through photoshop.)
