Assignment #4 Redesigning Logos

Due: May 6 by 9:00 PM

Using the techniques you have learned over the course of this semester, and incorporating some new skills and techniques you will learn, redesign the logos of 3 different products/services/companies of your choice. Be able to provide your reasons, in detail, for the choices you made.

For each of the three logos, you will be responsible for:

1. Presentation Page
• A 2,400px3000p, 300 dpi image w/white background
• 2 versions of the logo: 1 in color and 1 in b&w or grayscale
• Each version will be presented in a large and small format
2. Mockup Image
• Create an image of your logo on packaging or signage replacing the original logo.
3. Research done in preparation for the assignment

Critique: Thursday, May 7 @ 9:00 AM

Assignment #3: The Invisibles

Critique: April 10


3 Invisible Person Images

• Shoot photographs following directions given in class.
• Utilizing the skillsets, tools, and filters that you will learn in class, build 3 images in which you create a realistic depiction of an invisible person wearing visible clothing.
• Images should be believable.  
• Cuts should be clean, with no slivers of skin showing.
• Any clothing or props you have had to reconstruct should be seamlessly integrated.
• Areas around deleted body parts should be feathered and blended with the background.
• Make sure to fill in any areas where the viewer should be able to see inside the clothing.
• You can have more than one model in an image if you like.
• Having props for your invisible person to interact with (objects the person is carrying, something in the environment the person is using, hats, glasses, jewelry, etc.) will make for a more visually interesting image.

Posting your work and commenting on the work of others:

• The finished images (in .jpg format) should be uploaded to your blog BEFORE 9:00 PM THURSDAY, APRIL 9. 
• Write some comments in your post about the assignment and your thoughts on each image you made.
• Then, AT 9:00 PM THURSDAY NIGHT, log into Blogger, go to each of your peers' blogs, check out their images, and leave a comment about their work.  
• What have they done well?
• What might they have done differently?
• Are the images believable, or can you see the process?
• Did the student create an interesting narrative?  
• If you have obligations that interfere with this schedule, let me know IN ADVANCE so that we can make alternative plans.

Assignment #2: Attack of the Clones

Critique: March 20

3 Cloned Images

• Shoot photographs following directions given in class.
• Utilizing the skillsets, tools, and filters that you will learn in class, create 3 images in which you clone a single person multiple times.
• Images should be believable.  
• It should appear that these clones all exist in the same place at the same time.
• Clones should integrate into the background cleanly
• Shadows and reflections are important.  Don't ignore them!
• Correct any color shifts between clones and background.
• If clones overlap, edges should be clean and feathered.
• No less than three clones in each image.  You may have more than three if you want.
• Having your clones interacting in some way is always better than just posing them in front of the camera.
• AT LEAST ONE IMAGE MUST BE A SELF-PORTRAIT (meaning all of the clones must be YOU)

Posting your work and commenting on the work of others:

• The finished images (in .jpg format) should be uploaded to your blog BEFORE 9:00 PM THURSDAY, MARCH 19.
• Write some comments in your post about the assignment and your thoughts on each image you made.

• What have they done well?
• What might they have done differently?
• Are the images believable, or can you see the process?
• Do shadows and reflections look correct?
• What do you think of the composition of/interaction between the clones?
