Homework due 3/1/11

Here is the homework due on March 1:

1. Color inventory of the master image you chose.

2. Compositional thumbnails and presentation for Zine idea. Consider the following things:

- What questions do you want to answer? who are you talking to? What is your ultimate goal?

- Bring focus to the substance rather than the methodology or technique

- Avoid distorting data- maintain truth

- Encourage the viewer to compare differences (guide the viewers eye using color placement and design solutions)

- Simplify your idea so that it serves a reasonably clear purpose.

- Organize your information to SAY something

- Data Maps- we know these well- don’t take too much for granted. What you include is as important as what you exclude- consider context. (Remember the cancer maps in class.)

3. You will give a brief talk about the article you read.
