day 5, sep. 23 📦

agenda 📜

at the beginning of this project, you came up with an artistic statement describing your collection. let’s revisit that.

split into pairs.

choose one person to read their artistic statement out loud.

then, the listener answers the following questions based on the statement alone, without looking at the posters:

→
what is this a collection of?
→
what is the meaning(s) behind this collection?
→
who do you think this collection would be most meaningful to? (who is it for? who is it speaking to?)

now, pin up your posters. answer these questions again based on the posters alone:

→
what is this a collection of?
→
what is the meaning(s) behind this collection?
→
who do you think this collection would be most meaningful to? (who is it for? who is it speaking to?)

work together to create a bulleted list of what’s changed from the original artistic statement and the current poster drafts.

on my cue, switch roles!

today, you’ll be meeting with me in pairs. during these meetings, we’ll be making a technical analysis of your posters.

your files ~ what apps are you using, how are you setting up your posters?

(quick poll: what apps are you using??)

your printed posters ~ we’ll mark them up to make specific adjustments!

your public proposals ~ what format did you decide on?

this is a way of visualizing how you want these posters to exist in the real world.

→
as we’ve talked about, your posters can appear as is, or transformed.
→
if your posters will be transformed, you do not need to actually redesign them! you just need to show us how the transformation will work.

let’s look at a few different ways you can create a public proposal mockup:

use a mockup from online!

this is an example from mr. mockup↗

design your own rendering!

sketch your idea!

make a rough mockup!

take a photo and add your image to it!

here’s what you need to bring in for our final crit next week!
