Bracketing Assignment

Scanning Assignment

Final Project ! ! !

Throughout the semester we’ve learned that there are many ways for a digital images to originate. They can come from a digital camera, scans from negatives or old photographs, searching the Internet for images – the possibilities are almost endless. The way digital images can exist is also equally diverse. We’ve made zines, fine prints, and posted our images electronically on the Internet.

For your final project, you will be producing a portfolio of no less than five finished prints. The number of final prints will depend on your choice of final project. Please do not hesitate to ask me about this.

The origin and content of the images is your choice but they MUST be yours, and they must be cohesive.

The remainder of the semester will be open lab with the ability to print at EVERY class meeting.

Think about the ways we have worked and look over the technical assignments from the beginning of the semester. Are there ways of making images that you would like to learn more about? Are there ways of making images that are more enjoyable to you than others?

Our final critique will be December 14th, 2009 from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Your final prints and your files are due in the drop box by the beginning of class.

Zine Template

Hi All. I've updated the zine/book template. It uses two 8x10 inch canvasses that will be printed back to back. One canvas contains pages 8, 1, 4, and 5. The other canvas contains pages 2, 7, 6, and 3. On Wednesday the 11th, I'll go over the layout. This new template will allow the zine/book to have 4x5 inch pages and use the same amount of paper as the smaller 2.5x4 inch page version. Bring the content to class and begin laying out your sequence.

New important dates: 11/11/09, 11/16/09 are lab days for the book/zine assignment. 11/18/09 is also a lab day with the zine/books being due at the end of class.

Zine Assignment

Over the weekend, start compiling imagery for your zine/book. Think about content, it is the most important part of the assignment. Consider if you want your zine/book to have a linear or non-linear narrative, create context using juxtaposition, include text, include drawings, found imagery, etc. Bring everything you think you may want to use on Monday the 2nd.

Portrait Assignment Due Dates!!!

Printing of the portrait assignment will be done in lab on 10/21, 10/26, and 10/28 if needed. Three prints and six image files are due at the beginning of class on 11/2/2009.
