This course for serious creators and for students new to imaging. Imaging is a fluid and exciting area of graphic design that grows out of practice and process: experimenting fearlessly, showing and sharing ideas, and giving and receiving informative and constructive input.
For the sake of this online platform, we have applied some structure to our investigations, but for the most part the imaging is flexible and unstructured. If we must adopt one rule in this course it is just this: You will not become a graphic designer by watching videos alone. Or don't just do things only in your head. So here, the focus here is on doing, and you are expected to devote some serious time and intellectual energy to that activity in this course. Specifically, you will: - experiment with a variety of materials and techniques for creating images for graphic design - expand your visual vocabulary both in terms of creation and conversation about work, to discuss your work and the work of others - learn how making, manipulating, and arranging images to create compositions, ultimately culminating in the design and production of an image-based book. The first half of the course is an opportunity to experiment and explore image making to expand your visual vocabulary. You will create pieces that are expressive, meditative, or design to prompt, evoke, experiment, record, explain, or test a medium. In the second two weeks, we will invite images to deliberately and intentionally convey meaning and communication through relational moves such as juxtaposition, composition, and context. We'll look at developing and expanding the range of approaches to bringing things together by composing page extensions with your images. As nothing exists without context, we look at how to intentionally push the image's connotations, meanings and associations generated through compositional elements and 'visual contrasts'. Finally, we'll take the images you create and make a book out of them. The results of your tasks (and experiments) can generate something completely unknown now or in the future, and that is the goal.
