Water Closet Challenge For this challenge you are to design restroom door symbols designating "Men's" "Women's" and  one additional designation of your choice. You may use typography to enhance your design, but the visual should stand on it's own (or this instance "sit" when appropriate.) The post to your Blog should include all three symbols and there should be unifying elements between the three designs that indicate they belong to a set.                                              Jack Brown                                                                                                  ...

minimalism The hardest part of movie-making is editing down the vast amount of footage that you are required to shoot. The hardest part of designing can be paring down your concepts to their most vital elements.   The following web sites contain examples of familiar themes simplified to their basic forms. Please explore these and any others that you find doing your own research: https://www.pinterest.com/chloe5972/poster-cin%C3%A9-minimalist/ http://coolmaterial.com/roundup/minimal-movie-posters/ http://mashable.com/2013/10/19/minimalist-childrens-tales/ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/10/minimalist-movie-posters_n_5462715.html Task :  Your task will be to create a  series of 3  minimalist movie posters that are tied together by subject, actor, director, or movies that are serialized (i.e. Star Trek 1-164).

Mutant Me The rumors were true!  What we thought were just jet vapor trails left in the sky, turn out to be fine radioactive mists unleashed by a secret lawless black ops government bent on world domination.  Sorry. The good news is that the levels of radiation we've been exposed to are not lethal. Not lethal, but destructive none-the-less.  Some of your classmates were exposed early--I think it was that field trip to Mote.  Anyway, they have all been exposed and are all enduring, let's say, changes . The authorities are monitoring and documenting the differences in physical appearance which you can see for yourself in the photos below.  Frighteningly, where the real changes are occurring aren't on the outside .  But don't panic, from what we're told, it isn't  that  painful and the changes you will experience in the next few hours, though permanent,  are not lethal .

Animated gifs http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/5-emotions-invented-by-the-internet-in-gif-form For your next assignment, you will be creating an animated gif   in Photoshop. This is accomplished by exporting a series of layers as frames on an animation time line. Size: 5"x5" Resolution: 100ppi Each layer you add will have slight differences that when played back in sequence, will have the effect of animating your design. The more layers you have and the more subtle your changes are, the smoother your animation will be. The animation you create may be an illustration, a composite of photographs, a graphic or even animated typography. Make it artistic and visually compelling.  (One often successful approach is to think about telling a very short story.) Stick figures and bouncing balls won't cut it. gif Tutorial: http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/build-animated-gifs-in-photoshop/ gif Galleries: http://sobadsogood.com/...
