PROJECT ii: Sketch book entries & research
Further research, looking and thinking go hand in hand in the design process.
Each assignment has a number of inspirations to further your looking and thus your knowledge.
Please look carefully at the artists / designers at hand.
Process
PART ONE
From the inspirational resource list at the end of each assignment, select 4 of the artists / designers from the list of many
Search for one image by each artist that will be the basis of your deconstructive analysis
Download and print the image, keeping note of the URL for your bibliographical source
Note the details of the work including: Artist / Designer, Title, date, materials, dimensions if possible
*Should a work not include the maker's name, place Unknown in that area
NOTE:
Should you have an idea of a specific image that imitates the criteria and objectives of the assignment from a particular disciplinary field, please, by all means use this as your sketchbook entries. Visual design may be found from graphic design, interior design, architecture, the fashion industry, photography and studio art.
PART TWO
Draw out four (four - minimum) areas of the work speaking thoroughly about the ELEMENTS of DESIGN
Include the PRINCIPLES of DESIGN and how each are operating
You may point to specific areas on the image and place your notes describing how both the elements and principles of design are operating
