Project
2 (Part A) Source/Book
Project Description:
This project will continue to explore your source idea in “book”
form. Your book may be in the traditional form (covers front and back
with pages), or using an alternative form (3-D, billboard, comic, for
instance). Your book must contain at least 5 of your final Source images.
Your book must be entirely created or reconstructed by you (covers,
inside pages, etc.).
In part 1 of Source/Book, your ideas and images will take form in a
mock-up of what will become a fully realized piece.
Every choice that you make in your book should relate to your subject
matter (fonts, etc). Think about text as a visual and or physical part
of the book.
Consider alternative material, physical or otherwise (x-games, trash,
water)
Guidelines
• Continue to develop your source idea and its definition by writing
a new entry into your “sources journal”. Your paragraph
must be a minimum of 200 words. This paragraph is an ongoing discussion
of your source idea, not necessarily a description of this week’s
project.
• Make a plan of action for creating your book:
1. In your visual journal sketch out your ideas for creating your book.
Think about several ideas. Including different media and alternative
book formats
2. Make a list of all the materials (handmade paper, cloth, steel, bread,
etc.) and resources that you think you will need (photolab, software,
tools, shop techs wood shop, metal shop, fibers, etc.
• Create a well-defined mock-up of your “book” that
communicates your idea clearly to the viewer. I want to see good craftsmanship,
even in your mock-up. (Use X-acto knives and straight edges, sharp markers,
high quality images or good Xerox copies) Your mockup does not have
to be to scale but it does have to be accurate in proportion.
