GRAPHICS 10 - PROMO POSTERS

Inspired By the work of Josef Muller Brockman and the abstract design of early Jazz album covers I had my Exceptional grade 10 design class create promotional posters for our department (sometimes you just need a convenient topic).  Started with collage: scrap bits of coloured paper, colour scheme, tension and unity in composition, then added text and touch ups in photoshop.  Super thrilled with the results.

GRAPHICS 11 - LOGOS

Letterform logos developed from a rigourous process.  This is the big leap in grade 11: the emphasis on process becomes far more important.  hand-drawn designs are brought into illustrator, refined, live-traced and coloured.

Graphics 10 - Text Posters 2018/2019

An introduction to grid-based compositional methods.  Students choose a phrase between 6-10 words long of their choice (I seriously have no idea where they come up with some of these! - catch phrases from pop-culture references that I have aged out of? - makes me feel old).  Students also need to manipulate colour, contrast, size and spacing to reinforce a logical and purposeful visual hierarchy within their work.
