BLOGGING


One of the keys to success on this course is not just the projects but also the conversation around the work that you and the other students will do. This will take place through your blog. You are expected to be regularly blogging your reflections on everything we do and create in class. This is an important requirement for the course and time will be set-aside during class for this purpose. Blogging is a weekly assignment It will be graded once a week. There are three elements to this and the assignment will be marked out of 9:
  1. A reflection on something you have experienced or understood from class.  (5 pts)
  2. A relevant connection to something you've seen outside of class. (2 pts)
  3. A relevant photo taken by you and not from the internet. (2 pts)
The blog will be worth 30% of your final grade.

You will be required to analyse at least 10 (you can submit more if you wish) different items of graphic design using the format discussed in class. Click here for a template. Some important things to remember: It represents 15% of your final grade. You must include at least 10 photos - you are welcome to include more. It must be clear the link between your photo and the analysis. I would suggest something very simple such as photo 1, photo 2 etc. The photos and analysis must be uploaded to Google drive before the last class. Do not use Blogger for this. Include a variety of different designs. Don't for example take photos of 10 signs as it is highly doubtful you would be able to dem...

THE BEZIER GAME

The Bezier Game The concept of the game is simple. You get an object and you have to trace its outline by bending curves around it — with as few nodes as possible. But be warned, what sounds easy in theory is quite tricky in practice.
