GRAPHIC DESIGN

Mindful Living Calendar from Holstee For the next series of six posters you will need to generate the relevant questions yourself. If you could ask any questions about the world in 2020 what would they be? For this family of posters all the graphics must be vector and I'm asking you to use a repeating pattern on the background as a way of communicating the concept. As with your previous set of posters each question must be accompanied by a statistic that forces your audience to think about what the meaning of the question. The question must also be framed in the first person, i.e., "What will I...".

Jaws: Source Designboom Spanish design firm Atipo has formed a collection of 15 minimalistic movie posters to cleverly represent different films. In the example below a bright blue glossy paper with a ripped chunk out of its side depicts ‘jaws’.

Contrast (“hierarchy & flow & starting point”) adds visual interest to a page and makes it more attractive to the reader's eye.

The ideas of hierarchy, flow, starting and finishing points” are all closely related.

Each poster must be A3 Each poster must contain a high quality background image (i.e, greater than 1500 pixels) Include the question Include a statistic or information that provides a context for the question. In the example above the statistic/ information was "By 2050 the world population is expected to top 9 billion, of which nearly 7 billion will end up in cities." Remember to try and adopt a futures perspective. Attribute the photographer. QUESTIONS: What makes us happy? What is beauty? Wh at will we eat? How will we be educated? What is a sin? Who will we worship?

Until the October break I would like you to concentrate on posting images to your blog that demonstrate your understanding of the PARCC model . The images can represent strong or weak examples of the concept. Don't forget to label your posts with "dtp" and the principle that is being highlighted and support the image with an explaination about the design. The five principles are: proximity alignment repetition contrast concept

SOURCE: prettywittywise.net The Institute of Global Ethics has identified five values; compassion, honesty, fairness, responsibility and respect as recognized core values of cultures throughout the world. The five core values are the basis for the Singapore American School's approach to Character Education and serve as the foundation for all relationships among students, staff, faculty, administrators, and parents. For this assignment you are asked to design a set of five minimalist posters that depict each of the core values.
